Is that saying how many have been tested? Or is that the monitoring?

Let me guess, you're an industrial engineer?I'm gonna see how many rolls I use over the next week and see if buying cart fulls was worth it.
Am I reading this correctly that we've completed tests on less than 50 people state-wide?

I think as of yesterday every case in Iowa was travel related. Don’t know if that’s still the case though.Proof?
I'm not certain, but the way I interpret that page is that 156 people are being monitored (and presumably have been tested) and 47 others are no longer being monitored.
That page is pretty vague and poorly written, and arguably misleading.
I wish there were more information, like how many of the deaths had other conditions, and specifically what those conditions were, etc., also what sort of conditions were the peak for those that tested positive early in the symptoms vs. late, etc.
There's been some of this but shouldn't it be something standard to keep us informed?
Governor Reynolds:
Still not calling for school closures.
Short term closures for schools that show positive cases for cleaning, etc.
Larger number of cases => longer closures

This is my opinion/question here:
If schools close, how many grandparents are going to fill in as the caregiver rather than a parent? Do we risk having our older generation become the caregivers for the young, potentially asymptomatic carriers?
I'm not sure. There aren't easy answers. But I'd bet we have a lot more community spread than they know about now.
Closing schools puts 20% of the states nurses at home with their kids. Couple that with grandparents assisting with kid watching duties, it’s probably worse if you close them.

Once they actually start testing in scale & dozens of new cases emerge in the metro, I assume they'll change strategy.I assumed most kids would be out this week for Spring Break? Why does a decision for 9 days away, have to be decided today?
Gotta stop the spread. Flatten the curve. If we don’t do that then it’s possible nothing will matter and we’ll be in an Italy situation a few weeks. Social distancing is the key. That is the math and science of the matter.
