    Today in MN Gov. Walz is announcing new restrictions. Likely going to close gyms and end high school sports.

    This is from a former Republican state Rep who doubted the disease but got it and spent 5 days in the ICU.
    https://www.fox9.com/news/former-st...urging-minnesotans-to-take-covid-19-seriously

    Former state Rep. Nick Zerwas now loudest Republican urging Minnesotans to take COVID-19 seriously
    (FOX 9) - Former state representative Nick Zerwas has recently become the loudest Republican voice urging Minnesotans to take COVID-19 seriously, stressing Tuesday that the virus is here and is not a political issue up for debate.

    On a conference call with Gov. Tim Walz, Zerwas detailed his five-day stay in the ICU last week after contracting COVID-19.

    “It happened so quickly and progressed so fast,” Zerwas said of his illness. The former GOP lawmaker has had multiple heart surgeries over his lifetime, resigning from the state Legislature last year after his most recent one to spend more time with his family and refocus his career.

    Zerwas said he made “no less than a miraculous turnaround” after receiving convalescent plasma and remdesivir treatments.


    Zerwas said he downplayed COVID-19 this summer because he knows no one in Sherburne County, where he lives, who had it. Now, he can name several people who have contracted the virus.

    “This is a completely different ballgame,” he said. “Everything has changed. The virus is here. If we don’t act now, God help us.”

    When asked what he would say to others in his party who have not changed their tune on the seriousness of COVID-19, Zerwas said, "There are days and there are times to find political issues in which to pick fights and debate about. What my hope and message today is that COVID isn’t one of them."

    Zerwas’ comments come as Republicans in the state Senate are grappling with an outbreak of COVID-19 among their ranks. At least four GOP senators, including Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, have now tested positive for the disease.

    We're past 250,000 American deaths, and 1,869 today.

    Is Abbott going to sit back and just let this get out of control like a good little Trump brown nosing Republican?

    Top chart US and bottom chart Texas for the past 24 hours.

    When it comes to hospitals, ventilators, and choosing who lives or dies in hospitals over the limit I have an idea.

    All Republicans who were against social distancing, masks, and lockdowns get last priority. Every single time I see people screaming no masks, no lockdowns, and crying out communism or socialism or other stupid responses I look at their profile and they are Trump lovers. It's a pattern, a choice, and one that should make them last in line when it comes to who lives or dies.

    As MN is putting in new restrictions (no in person dining, gyms closed, and no youth sports) Gov. Noem next door in SD still refuses mask mandates claiming that SD isn't doing any worse with states with mask mandates. SD currently per population is the worst state for infection rates. Parroting Trump she says it's not infection rates but hospitalization. Note SD is one of the worst states for hospitalizations.

    I was curious as to which state has the worst current hospitalization per capita right now. Oddly enough, I couldn't find a site that readily lists it so I used this site's data and calculated in excel.

    Worst currently hospitalized with covid per 100,000 people
    - South Dakota @ 67
    - Nebraska @ 51
    - North Dakota @ 51
    - Iowa @ 48
    - Illinois @ 47

    Best
    - Vermont @ 3
    - Hawaii @ 6
    - Maine @ 6
    - New Hampshire @ 7
    - Washington @ 8

    Other notable ones
    - Texas @ 28 (23rd worst)
    - New York @ 11 (45th worst)
    - Minnesota @ 30 (20th worst)

    South Dakota's governor is insane. The state is THE worst at hospitalization.

    This is what happen when former cheerleaders have too much time on their hands...



    She later apologized. But she is also known for criticizing Colin Kaepernick for kneeling (had to apologize for that, and her husband and her had to donate money to a college).
