Yesterday the message was she wanted to make sure “the state remains open for business." Wonder what's changed in the last 12-14 hours.

More data. More recommendations from the CDC and other experts. Basically we haven't flattened the curve yet. And when all of these morons that think this is fake and don't act on the recommendations of experts - we get forced/told what to do.

maybe someone informed her you can have no symptoms but still pass the virus around.

when asked about restaurants yesterday she kept repeating that if you feel sick you should not go. But never answered the real question.

She took her time, and made the right decision. We're taking all the reasonable, necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus without enacting some kind of doomsday scenario.

I think she saw the writing on that wall that not enough people were going to voluntarily obey recommendations, and took action early in the week before anything got worse. Lots of bars and restaurants aren't open on Monday in the first place.

I think she could have made that call 18 hours ago. But I’m glad she got there in the end.

I mean, I guess, but I think the odds that of a bunch of people in Iowa hitting bars and restaurants and spreading this yesterday were pretty low.

I know a ton of places that were already voluntarily switching to off-premise consumption only as it were. I think everyone knew this was coming.

Guys, this was a non-political question asked in a non-political thread. My goodness, where is the decorum?

Not gonna lie, when I saw the heard of deer walking past my kitchen window this morning it was nice to know I had options!

Smartass squirrels in my backyard better watch the **** out.

Been monitoring the wild protein in the hood. Wild turkey, deer, gray squirrels, mallards, geese, and feral cats (Chinese stir fry). Red squirrels and chipmonks as last resort species. Would have to walk a couple blocks to the park for the geese since geese like to hang out in the park and **** all over everything but all the others could be taken in my yard.

Those geese that just stand there on the path and hiss are going to be sorry about their lifestyle habits.

I am in a medication trial at UIHC and was supposed to have an appointment on Friday. They just called and rescheduled for JULY 1. The backlog on this thing is going to be nuts.

I just said good bye to my friends that live out of town. Not sure when I'll see any of them again. I added a "see you on the other side" at the end of my text, but that could have several meanings/implications. Open to interpretation, I guess.
