Shocking New Study Ranks South Dakota “Safest State During COVID”

Of all the states in the United States guess which one was ranked “Safest State During COVID-19”?

If you guessed South Dakota you would be right.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, South Dakota never implemented any statewide mask or other mandates.

Right or wrong, during the pandemic people from all over the nation flocked to South Dakota for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Mount Rushmore 4th of July Celebration, fairs, concerts, and other gatherings.

As the United States continues to live with the virus around 66.3% of the population has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
