2) Here is high sky high S Dakota cumulative cases per capita is compared to other states. 12 out of every 100 people have been infected — that’s just the diagnosed count.
3) Here is the cumulative deaths per capita. 1 out of every 500 residents statewide in S Dakota has died of #COVID19 @KristiNoem. Let that sink in @govkristinoem.

6) as a proud former resident South Dakota... the citizens of South Dakota deserve better than someone who goes to parties in Mar a Lago while her state is dying. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1328194884684173313
