Governor Kristi Noem explains why South Dakota rejected lockdown and the results

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem speaks at CPAC 2021 in Orlando, Florida on Feb. 27, 2021. "South Dakota is the only state in America that never ordered a single business or church to close. We never instituted a shelter-in-place order, we never mandated that people wear masks ... Dr Fauci told me on our worst day, we'd have 10,000 patients in our hospitals. On our worst day, we had a little over 600 ... My administration resisted the call for virus control at the expense of everything else. We looked at the science, the data, and the facts, and then we took a balanced approach".
