SE Cupp condemns South Dakota's governor as cases rise

Oh, yeah. I’d look forward to all the speeches!

Again, the important indicator is NOT the infection rate, it’s the MORTALITY rate. Almost everyone has had the flu but the vast majority of people recover just like with Covid. Is it infectious? Yes. Is it as “deadly” as the media put out - absolutely not, especially if you don’t have a Dem governor putting infectious patients into closed, at-risk populations.

[Bonemaker]

Is that a promise SE?😎

Notice that Miss Cupp's five minute rant omits issuing any hard numbers, only "rankings" adjusted for population.

Here are some recent hard numbers from a South Dakota MSM source: (KOTA TV ABC Rapid City, SD)

South Dakota [ . . . ] state health officials reporting 53 more deaths Saturday.

The state’s death toll is now at 621 [out of 850,000 population, or about 73 per 100,000]. The state’s previous single-day record for COVID-19 deaths was 28 on Nov. 6.

Currently 549 South Dakotans are hospitalized due to COVID-19. 3,598 state residents have had been be hospitalized at some point because of the coronavirus.

So far, nearly 45,000 people in the state are considered recovered from the virus.

According to the South Dakota Department of Health, COVID-19 patients occupy 20.2% of the state’s staff hospital beds, and 30.5% of the state’s staffed ICU beds.

Currently, 33.9% of the state’s hospital beds are available, and 33.1% of the state’s ICU beds remain unoccupied.

There is NO shortage of beds, and the hospitals are NOT being overwhelmed. Cupp was ignorant or lying.

Now, to put that death rate of 73/100,000 in context (we can round up to 100 per 100,000 to allow for the rest of the year, keep in mind that according to the Dept. of Health ( https://doh.sd.gov/statistics/2016Vital/Mortality.pdf page 53), a typical year will see twice that number each for heart disease and cancer. Many of those whose death is attributed to the CCP Virus are taken out of the pool of people who would be dying of cancer and and heart disease. Sad, but not exactly ebola or even Spanish Flu.

Finally, since Noem had NEVER shut down the state, why is there an uptick NOW? Probably for the same reason that other states are getting upticks, seasonal changes, etc. The rates have gone up on the masked and the unmasked alike. What South Dakota got, that California and New York did NOT get, was a reprieve from extra suicides, entire industries shuttered, hard drug abuse skyrocketing, an entire generation of children being made far more fearful of their neighbors than the '50s kids ever were of the bomb.

There was a bait and switch. First it was "flatten the curve", now it is "defeat the virus". Well, eventually a vaccine or vaccines will be available for those who want to take that route, but for the most part the virus is gonna be what it is gonna be, sooner or later. The fear-mongering S.E. Cupps of the world are responsible for more deaths and ruined lives and local societies than the lack of lock-downs or masks.

Spanish Flu:
“In the U.S., about 28% of the population of 105 million became infected, and 500,000 to 850,000 died (0.48 to 0.81 percent of the population)”

And I suspect "infected" really meant "infected" - i.e., sick with flu-like symptoms. As opposed to this present 'Case' malarkey which means next too nothing. A person can have 'dead' viruses floating around in their system, and exhibiting zero symptoms, and they are counted into the dreaded case number.
This has to be the greatest fraud perpetrated in the history of mankind, while the Global governments work to get everyone under their collective thumbs.

Are you sure it was my post that you meant to respond to? My post only asked whether the “S.E.” in Cupp’s name stood for “Scrambled Eggs”. Nothing else. :-)

I condemn cnn and anyone who works there.

[hinckley buzzard]

Nothing so obtuse as the belief a politician can control a pandemic.

[Pontiac]

People have lost touch with reality

People get sick and people die.

Flu has always been the final straw for a lot of sick people.

They were already sick from something else and flu comes in the fall and finishes them off.

[SteelPSUGOP]

She used to be cute. Now she is just dumb

[lee martell]

S.E. Cupp; another ‘fallen idol’.
I used to see her on that overnight show.
Red Eye. I thought I knew her.

[Right Brother]

Looks like she is looking at Biden and making the proper size adjustment.

[ConservativeInPA]

Put Cupp on the list for the hard labor and reeducation camp when we win.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Flu+over sensitive COVID test that detects dead particles=another case...

[Pontiac]

Or that stopping people from making a living is some how going to make their lives better.

That stopping them from Pursuing the things that make them happy is going to extend their lives.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Kristi Noem is so classy and pretty and amazing and competent!

That is all.

[Chgogal]

No more Bs to the third power! Their idiocy is embarrassing to all thinking females.

[DouglasKC]

Gee number of positive tests are going up EVERYWHERE. We know why this is news.
