Behind Gov. Kristi Noem's Hedge on Legislation Guaranteeing Girls-Only Sporting Contests
h/t Red State...Gov. Noem received quite a lot of initial criticism from groups and individuals on the right for her reluctance to simply sign the legislation as drafted and passed by the legislature. I do not have any information on how active members of her administration were in the drafting of the final language, but I’m certain it did not come as a surprise to her and her staff. In fact, it seems that her reluctance to sign the legislation as passed stems from the feedback she has received from sources outside South Dakota on how the legislation might be received by interests outside the state — both corporate and others. Now, I know that little Kristi is a darling of the "covid sceptics" crowd. So, I did a little calculation. We know that infection rates depend on population density: the more people per square mile, the more contacts. Now New Jersey has 1210 people/sqmi (square mile) and 2722 covid dead/million. Which works to 2722/1210 = 2.25. South Dakota has 11.1 people/sqmi and 2174 covid dead/million.. That is, 2174/11.1 = 195.85. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2021-03-22 |
