Did Governor Noem require nursing homes to readmit Covid-19 positive patients like they did in in NY, MI and elsewhere?
Several states required nursing homes to accept Covid positive guests when the facility had the ability to isolate them from the general population and have adequate PPE. Given the for profit motivation of nursing homes, no telling how many actually isolated or had adequate PPE.
At the time, those working in nursing homes anywhere were not routinely tested.
Going back several months, an orderly managed to infect nearly every guest and employee in a Chicago metro nursing home. He was the first to die before the elderly began to fall like dominos. This was an easy trace given this nursing home ceased all group dining and activities and required all guests to remain in their units. Family was not allowed to visit.
236 people have died from COVID in South Dakota in 2020.
In 2018, 245 died from the flu.
Git a life, Democrats.
Let's look at some numbers:
South Dakota cases today - about 750, prorated for size, that would be 280k daily cases in US ...
Covid deaths:
South Dakota: 267 deaths/million
wow, so much better than the US average
Considering the tiny population density it must have performed really well compared to some of the most densely packed countries, that were hit early on, right?
Oh, wait:
Germany: 114 deaths/million
Germany population density: ... 60 times that of South Dakota's
Liberals continue to grope.
How long will it be before they find a family who lost ONE THIRD(!!) of their members to this "uncontrollable deadly virus that Trump caused and Republicans spread"? .........
And then in the fine print we find there were only 3 members of that family.......

This disease has a large lag after infections and all indicators are that SD has a problem. I have to wonder why the governor is promoting all these tourism videos that are on cable here in NY and other states, is anyone going on vacation anywhere at this time, seems like a waste of money.
The facts speak for themselves, for a state as remote as SD this is poor performance.
Quote:
Over the last two weeks, South Dakota has reported the nation's second-highest number of new coronavirus cases per capita. The rolling average number of daily new cases has increased by nearly 50% in that time.
South Dakota Department of Health officials on Sunday reported 412 new cases of the coronavirus, for a total of 2,849 positive tests in seven days and 21,541 cases since the pandemic began.
South Dakota ranks second in the country behind North Dakota in the number of new cases per capita in the last two weeks, according to The COVID Tracking Project.
The new records came days after Noem on Twitter described the virus' spread as having "peaked" in the state.
It may be more per capita as reported back then - but it was not more per capita in actual infected people. If NYC was able to produce, administer, and analyze results as fast back then - the results would not at all be the same.
I hear you now "PROOF" - the proof is in the deaths. Just look at the dead people - and extrapolate backwards based on average percent death rate of 0.65% - and you will see how many are infected today in South Dakota - and how many are infected THEN in NYC.
Answer - with 2000 dead per day in NYC - actual infections were probably about 300K or so PER DAY.
With South Dakota's WORST single day death total of 13 - means 2000 or so infections per day.
The ratio of NY population to SD population is about 26 to 1. So if 26 x 2000 = 300K you're right. Otherwise, stop posting this garbage.

I'm not making the that argument that NY had a higher rate of deaths and infections that will hopefully not be surpassed, but that was in March. This is October and states like SD had 7 months to prepare for this and they are still failing because they are being reckless in events like Sturgis. They had the benefit of time and experience to address this and they took it lightly dismissing the science. NY is talking about closing schools in certain areas because they have spikes approaching 5% while other states with a much higher rate are opening up.
It seems like the OP is rooting for SD to fail. People are rooting for Sweden to fail. Or anyone who doesn't lock themselves up, panic their population, and crash their economy. .
Stopping a motorcycle rally would not have crashed the economy.
Liberals are getting a little hysterical. Most people could not identify the governor of SD, let alone tell you the name of its capitol city, but somehow liberals feel threatened by Kristi Noem.
Liberals try to sell the laughable idea that Republican run states are inherently inferior to Democrat run ones. It's an attempt at deflection from conversation about riots in Democrat cities. They measure specific data points in rural areas so that we won't discuss businesses and communities and lives that they have destroyed.
