Truely I don’t understand this.
Why are the tribes so susceptible to this virus.

Oglala lakota county ( pine ridge )closed their borders and refused to allow any traffic in or out

My mom looked up SD numbers and it’s 851 new cases. Less than 1% of pop. Not sure how NPR is getting 8k of 100k. And of course, where are the recovery numbers? That’s the real numbers the media should be highlighting.

There’s a video out claiming the cases deemed positive are reading dead cells

I've heard that also.
This flu bug has been 'tabulated' unlike any other flu bug in history. Its impossible to know the true scope of this bug. We know the death counts attributed to Covid are inflated, but by how much?
We have the CDC accounting that only 6% of CoVid deaths were due to CoVid alone. But 6% is probably too low ball of a number (because even if the person who died had some other ailment, its probably fair to believe that it was CoVid that pushed them over the edge - at least for some cases), and 100% is obviously too high (since we have heard of people who died of motorcycle accidents as being counted as CoVid deaths).

So we don't know the real number - and we probably never will - but I'll just classify it as malarkey reported by the lying dog faced pony soldiers in the Media.
C'mon man, lets get along with our lives.
Wash your hands frequently. Take vitamins c and d. Take zinc and bioquercitin (or hcq, if you can get it) - and live your lives.

There have been 819 deaths with COVID in SD. 461 of them in the 80+ age group. KELOLAND.com (Sioux Falls tv/radio) has a very good COVID section with lots of charts and graphics. I keep telling my kids that we are so lucky to live in SD where we are treated as adults. One is starting to cross MN colleges off her list due to not being able to do campus visits and the latest MN lockdown decrees. Noem is definitely being targeted because she is everything the left hates...

IOW, some segments of the population wash their hands more than others.

Gov. Noem needs to review who is running her health department. This appears to be a setup against Ms. Noem.......

Not exactly correct.

If you live on the Rez, I believe you can come and go as needed.

The fast way from Rapid City to Gordon NE, Rushville NE, or Martin SD is through the Rez. That movement has been blocked by the closure.

We actually have a temporary highway sign that attempts to explain the closure east on highway 44. I unfortunately did not take a picture of it when I passed by Sunday.

Not sure how NPR is getting 8k of 100k

_________________________________

The 8K is total number of cases per 100K residents to date..

Here is the SD Covid dashboard.

Like the election, it all depends on who’s doing the counting. It only takes 1,000 leftists working in health care to ramp up the numbers by calling everything covid. Vermont is safely leftist so there’s not much reason to try and change the look of it. SD is red so the left has a reason to make it look bad.

Lot of old folks in Indian Country, lot of diabetes, bad diet habits-too many carbs, families living together, lack of clean water, remote areas.

Another group hard hit is Hispanics, esp those of Mexican heritage (most Mexicans are part Indian)

"SD has a large Native American population, who are very susceptible to the China Crud."

Belated reply: You may be on to something. I looked it up, and SD has the fourth largest Native American population in the country (9.9%), whereas Vermont ranks 50th (.67%). To further investigate, I'd need to know what percentage of the SD cases and deaths were of Native Americans, but I don't know where to look that up.

Look up the working population of SD versus Vermont. About 100K or so more in SD, I think. I’d argue that more people working will cause the virus to spread more widely.

Exactly. They think you’re stupid. We’ve read the data on the pcr testing!
ALL the PCR tests being done on people all over the world reflect NOTHING about illness, infection, contagion, or transmission.

NH has essentially no restrictions and you don’t hear much about it.

Vermont's Governor is a Trump hating RINO.Of course taxpayer funded NPR will never acknowledge that.
