I think she should run for President or VP in next election cycle. Shes a warm, intelligent, caring person. My wife thinks shes the future example for women in positions of power & influence. Very easy to listen to. Shes not a shrill screaming shrew, like most of the politicians of today

She is a doer. And she does things effectively and without a lot of fanfare and self aggrandizement.

I see your point, but I think they usually have a “medical expert“ on their staff giving them “expert” information.
For example, our Governor, the esteemed & honorable Governor Tom Wolf has the esteemed & honorable doctor Rachel Levine on his staff (I hear she is actually a pediatric psychiatrist)
Even with this “heavyweight epidemiologist“ of his staff, he is still arbitrary and capricious. :laughing:

That would be Mr. Richard Levine to you Sir!

You're right in that economics plays into the decision. However, the hope is that in a year, we will reach 70% immunity through vaccines.

No doubt and economics being part of the decision process is not the popular argument, but should be a considerable part of it.

Great Recession II here we come (or likely worse)

This is actually really old data (plus just wait a couple of weeks to see what the Sturgis rally did). The CDC has a good site to keep track of state infection rates - CDC COVID Data Tracker .

Thanks for the info. I see we are at 0.1 % as a death rate.

The daily influx of tourists in and out of Deadwood each day for the last few weeks is another litmus test. As of today, there are 63 cases in Lawrence county with Deadwood being the county seat. Hopefully the 63 infected are at home....

She is held in the highest regards by her state. She held the Stars and Stripes on horse back to start the days of 76 rodeo in Deadwood a few weeks ago. An amazing sight.

There were many in the stands with tears in their eyes as well as the handlers in the arena as she rode in the gate.

A true American leader.

SD is my home state. Deadwood born........lots of good people there

Wow the ignorance and lack of humilty to admit to the need to slow down virus with masks etc......will be the downfall of the once great America. I say this from the Canadian side of the border where we have less than 800 cases reported most days for the whole country of 32 million people. Here masks have not been politicised we just trust the experts. We see how immunity is not likely after you get it , after a few months you can get again. So vaccine is what we wait for and use prevention as key. Yes some risks need to be taken like essential commerce and global trade but thinking it won't hurt me and not caring about your coworker or elderly neighbor at grocery store is ignorance and greed. When its all over 2 yrs or more from now and millions in USA dead how will you feel about skipping that simple mask ? Sadly I see our once great country neighbor of the USA going totally wrong on this.

It’s not greed nor ignorance. It’s called free choice to live our lives unencumbered by a government. By the way, we are still great. Stop watching CNN.

I wear a mask when requested by business owners because I respect their property as being private. There are no other reasons to wear one.

The non caring for the elderly or coworker statement is worn out. Try to think for yourself.

The law mandates that we don't run around naked in town all the time and I have yet to see an anti-masker protest about having to cover their butts with clothes. If you wear clothes wear a mask. ****, most people look better by covering their ugly mugs up.
