There is an important distinction to be made in my support of the governor over her refusals to lock down the state. I am not suggesting that no leader should have ordered any lockdown, for any period of time, anywhere in the country. What I am suggesting is that in the particular case of South Dakota there was and is no reason to order a lockdown.
Once-size-fits-all approaches usually do more harm than good. Props to Gov. Noem for standing her ground based on the situation in her state.
