So if Reynolds would do a SIP, was wondering about places like blood and plasma donating locations. I assume it is up to the state to determine was is essential and what is not. I work for a company that is out of state. My business is considered essential in that state, but don't know if it would be considered that here in Iowa. Just wondering.

Blood centers are open but you have to do a call ahead appointment.

Blood centers are still open. Like @NorthCyd said, you need to set an appointment online and they have done away with walk ins.

I give plasma twice a week by appointment. I didn't know if an SIP would change both.

Shouldn't. My understanding is blood donation is still considered essential for the healthcare system. They’ve had to cancel their drives, to the point where the surgeon general has asked people to donate.

The fact that the medical board, appointed by her, came out and said something seems to indicate the pressure will get to her.

Who knows, maybe not.

For all our disagreement here please know that I get this concern. I've got kids. This isn't pleasant.

Maybe I'm misreading you, but are concerned that an SIP is going to include an order to literally not leave your house but for grocery trips and other essentials? Because I don't think you have to worry about that.

But there's no doubt we're stuck in our present state through, if I had to guess, somewhere between mid-May and early June. But if you're working from home already I wouldn't expect your experience to be any different than what you're doing now.

I don’t think she actually understands what people are calling for. I think that she thinks what people are calling for is an order where you can’t actually leave your house. I’m hopeful she just does what you are calling for and leaves it at that. If she doesn’t then I think we have more serious problems. I’m introverted so I don’t leave my house that much anyway but actually restricting me to that would not be good for my mental health. I’ve already had panic attacks fearing that. Maybe it is an irrational fear but it is absolutely terrifying to me. I can probably make do with it for a week or two but past that I wouldn't make it under that type of restriction.

I’ve already discussed the possibility of moving back home but my parents are sleeping in separate rooms already to minimize their contact and they’ve taken over my old room.
 
Fun fact: These press conferences take place at Joint Force Headquarters, just east of Camp Dodge. The basement of JFHQ is the designated command center for any and all activities concerning Iowa.

The sign language lady can be kinda distracting, not saying we shouldn’t have her, but it’s like sub titles and I find myself watching her more.
