Their governor however sees no reason to close the plant or issue anay other sort of orders for social distancing or measures to contain this threat. As to why not close the plant she said, "We are a very business friendly state." yes, she actually said that.

The workforce there is extremely varied - 18 year olds all the way to 70 year olds but not especially representative of South Dakota as a whole (a good thing - we're getting pretty old). So far, the only fatality linked to the outbreak is a man in his mid 60s. With the weather getting better and a general apathetic attitude towards health and safety, this does not bode well for us.
