"Nine holdout states are all counterfactual to the panic narrative. What they're waiting for is the rest of the country to discover that they've been had by the cheerleaders of 'mitigation,' who live in luxury and job security while the masses suffer."
The following are the nine states that have refused to impose lockdowns. All of them have minimal death tolls from the Wuhan virus, including the populous South Carolina, and five of them have not enacted even local lockdowns:
Arkansas — 14 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Iowa — 14 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Nebraska — 8 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
North Dakota — 3 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Oklahoma — 42 deaths.
South Carolina — 40 deaths.
South Dakota — 2 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Utah — 8 deaths.
Wyoming — 0 deaths.
