This really grinds my gears.
Spencer100 said:All I have listened to from the media and especially the Canadian media. Trump could never be right. The Liberal party also implying the same thing. The drug could never work Trump is dumb etc. Then even in the article they even say Canada is buying it "quietly". So they don't have to admit maybe just maybe the drug is working. It is just horrible!

Just as cases are starting to plateau in some big cities and along the coasts, the coronavirus is catching fire in rural states across the American heartland, where there has been a small but significant spike this week in cases. Playing out amid these outbreaks is a clash between a frontier culture that values individual freedom and personal responsibility, and the onerous but necessary restrictions to contain a novel biological threat.
The bump in coronavirus cases is most pronounced in states without stay at home orders. Oklahoma saw a 53% increase in cases over the past week, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Over same time, cases jumped 60% in Arkansas, 74% in Nebraska, and 82% in Iowa. South Dakota saw a whopping 205% spike.

Brihard said:South Dakota's governor has been one of the most vocal for keeping her state open. It's going to be interesting and, I think, disheartening to see how that goes. At least it's sparsely populated, with under a million total residence. Its rural character will have its own effect on reducing transmission. Its largest city is only 180k, with the next biggest coming in under 70.

It will likely validate what other states have been doing to try and stop this.
