Anyone see the irony in the coronavirus checkpoints on US and State highways by the Native Americans in SD? Seems be an issue between them and Gov. Noem. A Sioux tribal chairman was quoted..."We will not apologize for being an island of safety in a sea of uncertainty and death". Excuse my as I wipe my coffee that I spit out onto my phone when I read that. Ironic since this is coming from a group of citizens, Native Americans, that in no way shape or form has for decades cared about the public health of its own people. Diabetes, HTN, alcoholism, drug abuse, child abuse, domestic violence...just to name a few are rampant on reservations yet the coronavirus is what's going to kill them en masse in SD? Since we are all about "science and data" in today's world Native Americans are 2x as likely to become diabetic than Caucasians. 2/3 of kidney failure in Native Americans is from diabetes just to give you some quick data. BTW for the record SD has 39 total deaths to date due to the coronavirus.

Fargo parks will remain closed until at least 5/21. Forecast in a week is low 80s but completely unsafe for Johnny and Susie to go down a slide but they can go to summer school starting June 1.

#justsaveonelife Makes zero sense. These past four months have shown the complete incompetence at every level of elected leadership on a national level.

Whatever you want your narrative to be you just keep being you.

How about you help me get away from my fixation and tell me a war story? You seem to have "expertise" in that category.

Hahaha.....good one. We both know better than that. This process is about increasing big government with an eye on socialism.

House Dems introduced another stimulus bill estimated at...........$3 TRILLION! When does this nonsense end? Oh wait.....not until Fauci says so.

Lol.....I'm in if you are!

So I'm safe to renew my UND FB and hockey tickets per Fauci and you?

"A bridge too far"......agree that's pretty straight up. There was nothing in his comments that insinuated he favored having students back on campus within the current COVID environment..

Fauci is basically sticking with his "you're only safe staying home" BS. Says without vaccine colleges shouldn't reopen. Again aren't most of those individuals under 24? At least the NDUS board views this differently. Says death toll "likely higher" than reported. Thought Birx had a different opinion yesterday? He's "cautiously optimistic" a vaccine will be discovered. That's code for "I'm pushing to keep people in their homes as long as possible to totally ruin society as we knew it".

This shtick is tiresome. Can you pivot back to "we need more tests to get more positives"? We've all missed that.

Fauci to testify before the Senate today. Should take him 3 minutes to make his points.

Burgum gave the green light for summer school to start in ND on June 1.

Weren't his fifteen minutes up five weeks ago?

Yet farmers are letting crops rot in the field, dumping milk and euthanizing pigs.

Definitely going to be some disappointed people in this thread with those numbers.........

"There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust".....Dr. Birx quoted in a recent Washington Post article. Same article states Birx fears CDC mortality rate and case counts were inflated by up to 25%.

787000+ total individuals in this country died between February 1 thru May 2 from a laundry list of reasons. 700K+ have died above and beyond COVID in 3 months. This country never recognized the other 700K deaths during the same time frame nor has it ever made a big deal of the roughly 3/4M individuals that die every 3 months in this country. You're spot on that we were fooled into thinking protecting the elderly and vulnerable was paramount and a single line item on the balance sheet at the expense of sacrificing the stability of society as we know it and the future of your kids and mine.

If you really are an attorney look for new work......no one here is buying that......the "leaders" part. In the plural form.

That number isn't in jeopardy now since MN cancelled the Legion baseball season this summer.

Again advice was given based on models and Fauci's expertise for 45 days of lockdown to do 2 things: flatten the curve so that healthcare systems were not overwhelmed (check) and save lives so 1-2M wouldn't die (check). Was a "one size fits all" mentality yet here we are...still a country without a "one size fits all" reopening. For all the really smart people out there why is that?

Ummmmmmmm..........

Walz had the knobs set so far one way that there is only one direction to adjust them now.

Hahaha......good one. I definitely do not think Trump is faultless in this but he definitely doesn't deserve most of the blame. For you to insinuate that shows your ignorance in the big picture. Hopefully when Biden wins election for the Senate in November he can help get this country back on track.
