The South Dakota Department of Health on Saturday reported 54 new deaths from COVID-19. According to Business Insider, the number surpassed the state's previous record death total of 53. But that didn't stop South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem from tweeting state residents and encouraging them to go shopping. The GOP governor has refused to issue a statewide mask mandate. She has also disputed science and calls to enact stricter measures to contain the virus in the state.
On Friday, GOP South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson asked his constituents to vote whether he got the COVID-19 vaccine now or later. Johnson is giving his voters a chance to delay his vaccine until it until it becomes widely available. Johnson is the only member of the US House of Representatives from South Dakota. He said there were "good arguments" as to whether he should receive early access to the vaccine or wait to receive it.
With no end in sight to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic in the US, it's no surprise that myths about the virus abound. According to Business Insider, one common myth is that wearing a mask is dangerous because you'll get carbon dioxide poisoning. But epidemiology professor Stephen Morse says any CO2 the wearer exhales passes through the mask, just like oxygen, and doesn't build up. After all, healthcare workers wear masks for hours on end, which is proof that mask-wearing does not cause carbon dioxide poisoning or toxicity. Furthermore, blood oxygen levels remain perfectly normal when wearing a mask, provided the wearer is healthy.
