JUST LOOKING AT RESULTS, IT APPEARS THAT COVID-19 MITIGATION MANDATES ARE KILLING PEOPLE.
South Dakota did not lockdown, did not mandate masks or socialist distancing. no businesses or churches were closed.
as of today,* South Dakota has had 200 covid deaths per million population.
North Dakota, on their northern border (and even less densely populated), masked up and locked down. they have had 219 covid deaths/mil. population.
Nebraska, on their southern border, also masked up and locked down. they had 224 covid deaths/mil. population.
SWEDEN – did not lock down, almost nobody wears masks – never did. they did not try to “flatten the curve.” their healthcare system was NOT overwhelmed – not even close. they have had 578 covid deaths per million. their daily death count is now down near zero (it’s over for them.)
UNITED STATES (most states) masked up and locked down. U. S. has had 597 covid deaths per million. new daily deaths running about 750/day.
BRITAIN (U. K.) masks – lockdowns, they have had 612 covid deaths/mil.
*** !!! THE CURE IS WORSE THAN THE DISEASE !!! ***
