And there's not a damn thing you can do about it either. They will murder you.

obviously that’s not crazy high, but I’m guessing most of them are in the Linn/Johnson area. I would guess those hospitals are getting somewhat full.
Both Mercy and St Lukes have set aside space for these patients.
Positive tests has stayed steady around 7%. The more we test, the more these numbers start to rise. The higher numbers don't mean things are necessarily getting worse, however it means it's definitely still spreading around communities. Like you said, these tests are now getting results back in 1-2 days.
Man 19 more in Linn. 20 of the 73 in the 18-40 group. Story county resident here and thankful that we are still at just 2 cases.
I wish she would just call it. There's a lot of us being held hostage by our employers who are continuing to do business as usual.
I read an article that Iowa is doing the worst job at social distancing. I couldn't believe how packed Lowe's parking lot was after the clothing stores were closed. Some people NEED to shop I guess. Time to shut it down, not enough people are listening.
I heard they're putting the dome on the Marshall County courthouse today so I drove down there to take a look and there were hundreds of people standing out on the street. Insane.
I know a guy who sells used cars. His boss refuses to let him home because he says providing used cars is essential. That's why we need more state orders.

I think Lowe's is now shut down.. But yes, I do believe we need to shut down non-essential businesses and I agree that people are not collectively taking this seriously. I too have seen a lot of people out and about in various areas and that's exactly what Gov. Reynolds has talked about. We technically don't have any rules in place as far as social distancing go. They're all just guidelines / recommendations at this point. Until she gets more strict, people are not going to listen.
If it's the same one I read about, it was based on tracking cellphone data and didn't necessarily take into account people who travel for their jobs like truckers. Also, the definitions used for qualifiers/characteristics aren't consistent from state to state.
Again, everyone projects their own needs and attitudes on everyone else, and those comparisons are not necessarily valid, or true.
**** sake. Good thing I'm the only one that has to leave home right now.
It should definitely not be taken at face value, but it shouldn't be completely thrown away either. There is a little point to be made that our state received a poor grade due to the fact that are state has not issued as strict of guidelines as others. Whether or not you agree we should issue more guidelines is irrelevant.
Shelter in place isn't going to shut down hardware stores such as Lowes and Menards because they will be considered essential due to building supplies.
I disagree. What good does it do to read about someone's idea to track social distancing? If it doesn't directly inform policy or administrative decisions, it seems inflammatory at best.
Just because you don't believe it to be essential doesn't mean it's not essential. Car dealerships, construction projects and the like will still be open if there is an Shelter in Place.
To many people think the only "essential" workers are medical, police fire, etc. and that's now how it works.
