Note the reference to Kristi Noem - South Dakota's former governor, who decided to handle COVID with "freedom and personal responsibility," spending $5 million of her state's federal COVID money on a tourism campaign. Like the line from Steve Martin's King Tut song, "He gave his life for tourism" - thanks to her, some South Dakotans probably did.
