Death rate in South Dakota lowest of any state

Michel Jenkins

Am I the only one who has noticed that, as of May 1 statistics on Worldometer.com, Michigan, whose governor is ruling like a Central American dictator and who threatened doctors with jail if they prescribed HydroChloroquine to COVID patients, has the highest death rate (9.1% of reported cases) of any state?

At the other extreme, South Dakota’s governor decided early on to keep the state open for business, while suggesting sensible precautions, and the governor announced that her state would be a testing ground to see if HydroChloroquine works. The death rate in South Dakota is the lowest of any state, at 0.83%.

If “following the science” meant following the data, instead of following politically biased scientists over a cliff, those results should be the opposite of what we’ve seen.

Also compare Maine, a state with another militant Democratic governor, also a large state, thinly populated, but with about 50% more people than South Dakota, with a death rate of 5%, or 6 times as high as South Dakota’s.

These are the states with death rates of less than 3% of reported cases:

Texas — 2.79%
Hawaii — 2.59%
Alaska — 2.47%
N. Dakota — 2.08%
Iowa — 1.89%
Tennessee — 1.71%
Nebraska — 1.64%
Wyoming — 1.25%
Utah — 0.95%
S. Dakota — 0.83%

States at around 3% are: New Mexico, Montana, Idaho, Mississippi, Alabama, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

Seems to be somewhat of a pattern, except for Hawaii. But I think I can safely say that mere facts won’t change any minds.
