Per Johns-Hopkins, they're testing under 3,000 per day. Illinois has about 14x the people and is averaging 100,000 tests per day.
At least North Dakota is up around 12,000 tests per day, at an even lower population.
ND governor just issued a mask mandate & gathering size limits.
Noem is still pretending this is no big deal. That why they had 1,800 new cases with only 3k tests. 60% positivity.
