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

[Trice]

That's because they think schools are open in Iowa.

The model assumes all social distancing measures are in place within seven days. And real-time data up to this point would have social distancing measures already baked in. So we're talking about, at most, a few days where the model assumes schools are open.

Reynolds just said she will base further closures based on regions/communities/counties.

So if a town that's a hot spot gets closed down, will those people leave to go to places that aren't closed down?

Like Florida's beaches?

Will the whole state be put on a tornado warning the next time there's funnel clouds in one county, since the two things seemed to be confused?

That's because they think schools are open in Iowa.

And will be for seven more days. That highly impacts their projections, among other things.

C'mon. Even YOU can see how they're essential.

They went the extra step and shut down the viewing arcades. Seems safe to me.

For those of you who watched / listened, what did you think about Governor Reynolds response to the question on whether or not she was going to allow a certain horse auction to happen that supposedly is going to have up to 100 people present?

What kind of games would be in that arcade? And again don’t answer that please

And you don't realize how that's affecting their projections?

it’s like compound interest. Most important days are the first days.

I've never been to a livestock auction but is it something you could do remotely? Or is the thought boomers won't do that.

Is it going to be recommended to practice social distancing at the state fair? Maybe just inside the buildings?

 

[Trice]

I'm sure it does. But those assumptions have also held constant for days or weeks now while their projections for deaths alone have nearly doubled in the last day or two.

I think it’s honestly a 50/50 shot the fair even happens this summer

I've never been to a livestock option but is it something you could do remotely? Or is the thought boomers won't do that.

I would never buy any livestock site unseen.

Well I have no idea about all of the info, but, the guy who asked the question worded it that there is indeed going to be 100+ people there. Her response was that she knows there is technology in place in order to help reduce the size of these events, but they are an essential business as well so she encourages they practice social distancing.

They are operating under the impression that Iowa is not and has not been implementing social distancing, because of a lack of official directives. Every day that passes is a day pushing forward a 7 day window in which they believe nothing has changed.

No clue.. At this point I can't see the fair happening but obviously things can change.

I don't know why not. Used car dealership by at online auctions all the time.

The fair is still 4.5 months away

I think their model assumes everybody is practicing social distancing. They seem to put great value in a Stay at Home order being issued, and also assume strict adherence to the same.

That was my initial thought too but who knows.
