Coronavirus Coronavirus: In-Iowa General Discussion (Not Limited)

[jdcyclone19]

The way this medical director talks really bothers me.

I don't know why but her monotone voice and tone just bothers me as well.

Does anyone think we'll actually get the "shelter in place" mandate?

I read what was allowed in San Francisco and it's so broadly defined that I'm not sure how you enforce it. I'm not sure a shelter-in-place accomplishes a ton.

Feels like a teacher that keeps giving us polite warnings to behave, but people aren't listening and a detention/suspension is coming next.


The sign language lady reminds me of my cousin when she's had too much to drink, and tries to explain things.

OMG I couldn't agree more. She sounds like a politician and it raises my blood pressure just listening to the non-answers wrapped in fluff.

 

[Trice]

Frightening lack of detail here. Lots of "we're working with" and "we're talking with" and talks of "our partners" and "making thoughtful use of resources" but they've said absolutely nothing concrete outside of updated confirmed cases data.

Drink when these fools say proactive.

don’t keep telling us you are being proactive, tell us what you are doing.

What a waste of a press conference

Just PR at this point. "Look, Iowa cares and is doing something..."

 

[jsb]

The Iowa people really dodge the question that you can be a carrier with no symptoms.

I think I trust the Ohio people more.

 

[jsb]

They are not going to expand testing.

 

[wintersmd]

Yep, showing they are still engaged and tracking.

 

[MartyFine]

We don't need another press conference to announce that we're going to keep doing the same thing, but nothing more. What a waste of time.

If there are new cases in new places, then just put it on the website.

“At the end of the day is people are ill they should stay home.” Except we can’t test hardly anyone so nobody will know to stay home.

I think this lady is actually part of an SNL skit playing the role of annoying ******* doctor saying big words with no actual meaning.

Gee, more misguided information. Just what we all need.

 

[ISUTex]

We just need to assume that every other person in Iowa has Coronavirus. Stay home!

 

[jsb]

Gee, more misguided information. Just what we all need.

I really feel expanded testing is the key and the fact iowa isn’t trying is disturbing.

 

[jsb]

They are really trying to act like this is just the flu.

 

[dosry5]

Some people on here need to log off CF for a bit and calm down. Seriously. It’s unhealthy.

Probably because they really don't know for sure. I'm much happier to hear that they don't know something than the Federal press conferences where someone (no politics) spouts off what he thinks or feels as facts and has to be corrected after the news conference. Tell us facts and if you don't have the facts, work to get them.
