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

    Exactly! I don't know how he can come to such a conclusion.

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

    That's a dumb reply by you. It has zero to do about Fred Hubbell. Hell, I had forgotten that he even ran against her. I'm stating the fact that she has NOT been proactive and that has nothing at all to do with politics.

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

    It's impossible to totally not politicize this topic in my opinion. Yes, this virus sucks and I understand where you're coming from. But I maintain that a strict order to SIP would be much more effective than what Reynolds has done. Arrest people if they don't follow the order. By the way, SIP...

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

    I strongly disagree. Why do you say there is no realistic scenario where fewer people would get the disease? Doesn't it make sense to have social distancing and SIP as soon as there was a hint of the virus? If a state were to close everything but very essential services down immediately, isn't...

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

    Who here can deny that the number of cases/deaths would have been considerably lower if Reynolds had ordered SIP right away? There are many examples in the U.S. and other countries that the sooner strict controls were taken the fewer the cases. I had stated on a previous thread that Jeremy...

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

    I think you are overestimating her critical thinking. I very much doubt the consortium is going to be pressured into opening up too soon. They have strong leadership. If anything, it is states like IA, ND, SD, and MO that will be pressured into opening up too soon.

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

    I will cut to the chase. There is no other way of stating it. Reynolds has been pathetic in the way she has dealt with this virus. As someone (I think on this thread) said, she has been reactive (if that even) instead of proactive from way, way back. I was stating this exact thing several weeks...

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

    This is from March 20. Very old news now. Considering the population, I would say King County (Seattle and surrounding area) is doing very well.

    Also, have you seen what has been happening in Washington State which was the first to report any cases? That governor acted quickly and took very strong measures.

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

    Okay, since you're denying it then I don't know what else to tell you. I'm not saying the duration will be shorter but only that the number of cases and deaths would be smaller. There will likely be cases into next year but by then there will likely be a reliable therapeutic drug (probably this...

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

    No I don't have data to collaborate it but I'm trying to use logic based on social distancing.

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

    Are you denying that the more that social distancing is enforced, the fewer the cases? By following those strong steps right from the start, social distancing would be much greater and the number of cases would be far fewer in my opinion.

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

    Fewer than 100 cases by now is an educated guess if everything except grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, law enforcement, and perhaps hardware stores closed at the beginning. I realize that would be "painful" but I would take short term pain for long term gain.

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

    I just said increasing and not rate of increase. Once again, my point is that strong steps needed to be taken very early on in order to avoid several thousand (yes, I know it stands at 1048 now but it will likely reach several thousand) cases and multiple deaths. This is an educated guess on my...

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

    I didn't say it would be completely stopped. I'm trying to point out that the number of cases would be few (certainly a lot fewer than we now have and increasing fairly rapidly). I am also of the opinion that a reliable therapeutic drug will be available in the not too distant future and at that...

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

    I'm saying that Reynolds should have implemented very strong measures even before the initial wave closings in order to keep the virus from spreading. If she had taken immediate strong measures as soon as the first few cases (or even before), there wouldn't have been much of a curve to flatten...

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

    I hardly ever post anything, but I need to speak my mind on this topic. To say that Governor Reynolds is incompetent is putting it mildly. She and all other Midwestern States were warned several weeks ago to take strong measures to contain this awful virus so that the number of cases would be...

    Dish Network or DirectTv?

    If you are a serious sports fan, you should not even consider Dish or Cable. It is Directv all the way. I really like Directv customer service also.

    Does anybody really think ISU fans are Anti-KXNO?

    I hardly ever post here or on any sports forum for that matter. But I cannot resist this time. I stopped listening to KXNO solely because of your stupid antics. You are an immature, arrogant punk to put it mildly. We even have something in common (big Red Sox fans), but if all Red Sox fans were...

    Greetings! Sooner fan visiting Iowa for the first time!

    One of the best restaurants for steaks (and some other dishes) in the Midwest is the Greenbriar, located in Johnston.
