Learn Facts — or be taken for a ride by the media

By Joe Dauda

Guess one US state the mainstream media is terribly afraid of mentioning today?

It’s South Dakota.

Better not mention South Dakota out loud because it could cause some of today’s most respected health “experts” and World Health Organization bureaucrats to lose their reputation or even lose their jobs.

These are the facts about South Dakota:

While the media was scaring everybody about the critical need to shut down the US economy in order to prevent the spread of corona virus, South Dakota never closed down. That state remained open for business and people have been going to work and living their normal lives since January; since March; since April — and the female Governor of the state has stoutly refused to force her residents to wear masks in public.

Well, based on the narrative of WHO and Bill Gates, and Dr Fauci, dead bodies should be littering the streets of South Dakota, right? But is that the case?

Fortunately for lovers of humanity and the silent majority, South Dakota has one of the lowest covid-19 figures in the United States. And the rate of recovery for the very few people who are tagged “positive” is a whooping 89%. That means, only one in 10 covid-19 patients fail to recover.

And it is not as if the Governor of South Dakota was careless: not at all. She focused on old people — who were more at risk — advised South Dakotans to be smart, and kept her eyes on trouble spots for quick mitigation efforts. You need to see a video of this bold woman on a big, beautiful, brown horse, wearing cowboy boots and holding the American flag over her head while declaring an indoor sporting event open.

Note that, if, heaven forbid, people had been dying in South Dakota, you can be sure that the mainstream media would have temporarily transferred their headquarters there to celebrate the “good” news.

No wonder you don’t hear anything about South Dakota or Governor Kristi Noem. Details about that state can cause people to begin to ask questions neither Bill Gates nor his buddies will be able to answer.

If it depended on me, I will listen to the science, ignore the politics, and focus on old people — including those with respiratory and other acute conditions — while allowing the economy stay open and staying braced for hot spots.

I believe covid-19 is real;

I also believe that some powerful people are deliberately hyping the figures for some nefarious purposes.

As at 23rd July 2020, these are the facts concerning a South Dakota that never shut down:

Covid-19 cases — 8, 143

Covid-19 Recoveries — 7, 214

Covid-19 Deaths — 121

Active Cases — 808

An active case simply means you once tested positive and you have not tested negative as at the time this data was collected.

People Currently on admission — 50

Note:
The age range of the two residents of South Dakota that died yesterday to make the number of deaths 121 was 80+. Both of them were more than 80 years old. Covid or no Covid, these two residents were already close to their graves and could have been taken out by flu or anything.

And don’t let anybody tell you that South Dakota is not actively testing.

Total Negative Tests as at yesterday is 94, 393.

The Nigerian government and the Nigerian CDC must bear these facts in mind before precipitously ordering another lockdown that will just cause more people to suffer economic hardship.
