Certainly an odd scenario... can't say anything fits.
Workers comp sounds like the most logical coverage, but currently I don't think they pay WC benefits for Covid. And Aflac sickness policy might be your answer!

Unfortunately, I can't afford it. Luckily, I personally have a ton of sick time, but plenty of other people don't, and we are no longer allowed to donate our sick time to other employees (we used to be able to).

It's OVER 5,000!
Had a friend who collapsed last night with a very low heart rate. He lives in Charlotte. One of the main hospitals where he would have gone was turning away everyone -- full. The hospital he ended up in he said had halls filled with very sick people.

Trump's only plan is to grift as much money as he can from the suckers who donate to him.

88023 SD cases/ 884659 SD population = .099
10% is high, but no where close to 33%.
Where is he getting 33%?

He'll also have almost no power to actually do anything. People don't understand public health powers are invested in the states.

1 In Every 800 North Dakota Residents Now Dead From Covid

I'm a British-born reporter covering breaking news for Forbes.
The North Dakota Department of Health confirmed 409 new cases and 27 additional deaths in the state on Monday, bringing the total death toll to 954 out of a population of roughly 762,000, or 0.97 in every 800 residents.
Only two weeks ago—reporting the highest Covid-19 mortality rate in the world the week prior—North Dakota surpassed 769 deaths, joining a list now encompassing eight other states (New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Louisiana, Rhode Island, Mississippi and South Dakota) that have seen at least one Covid-19 death per every 1,000 residents.
Nonetheless, after raking an average of over 1,000 new cases per day for a large portion of November, North Dakota has become the eighth deadliest state in the pandemic, according to data from Johns Hopkins.
That being said, there are positive signs of at least temporary improvement in the state: the number of cases has decreased by 38% over the past two weeks compared to the two weeks prior, while deaths have dipped by 19% and hospitalizations are down 16%.
However, this could be jeopardized by an anticipated boost in transmission nationwide due to the holiday season.
CRUCIAL QUOTE
“It’s a really critical time coming up with the holidays,” said Renae Moch, who directs public health in the city of Bismarck and Burleigh County. “If we continue to go down the path that we are, the Christmas holiday could be much worse than what we’re experiencing right now.”
KEY BACKGROUND
North Dakota did not institute a mask mandate until November, when the state’s Republican Gov. Doug Burgum—who emphasized the importance of a “light touch” from the government throughout the pandemic—declared that the state’s “situation has changed.” White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx described the North Dakota’s Covid-19 protocols and mask usage as the worst she’d seen anywhere in the country when she visited the month prior. However, despite some opposition in the state, Carnegie Mellon University’s COVIDcast project, which tracks mask usage across the U.S., reports that nearly 90% of North Dakotans are now wearing masks.
BIG NUMBER
25%. That’s how many North Dakotans reported knowing someone who died of Covid-19 in a poll commissioned by the North Dakota Newspaper Association just before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Looks that way. That was quickly verifiable, and he failed to look.
