If those that are infected travel to South Dakota, wouldn't you think that would spread to the population here? Or it doesn't work that way due to population density so some other silliness you can come up with?
You obviously have never been here if you don't think there are many South Dakotan's (as well as others) going to the motorcycle rally or all the campgrounds and tourist attractions here in the state. I'm telling you because I live here and I know.
The people who run those camp grounds and attractions live spread out in low population density small towns and cities.
Your rates are low because of low population density.
They would probably have been even lower if you followed strict protocol of a mandated shut down.
And I have been to South Dakota before. That is one reason I know how empty it is. 2 million people for a week or two at a time is nothing compared to 2 million people 365 days a year. There were thousands of cases spread in your state that you don't count because they went back home after their vacations.
