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

[NorthCyd]

Please respond to the following statement with "yes" or "no":

It shouldn't be controversial to expect someone with no medical knowledge whatsoever to listen to their own boards of medical professionals.

Do you honestly think she is not getting advice from anyone in the department of public health or other epidemiological experts? Furthermore, do you have any idea what the board of medicine actually does and if anyone who sits on the board is an expert in epidemiology?

There’s more people who support a SIP than ones who don’t by far.

And you know this how ?

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

And you know this how ?

Common sense

I thought the thread title read no politics, not more politics.

Nebraska Gov is taking his information from the Nebraska Medical Center Infectious Disease Center...the folks that do the Ebola testing and treatments, among other diseases. But, numbers are slowly going up in Nebraska too...way too many people at stores with whole families...like it is a vacation. The Dollar Tree is absolutely packed.

Just got back from Walmart. I about had an anxiety attack in there. This **** is getting crazy.

So to be elected should require a degree in Science or Math?

Math is liberal arts. So they would not be allowed.

But is that a repair shop or a dealership? I have been many to dealerships getting work warranty work done on my vehicles, and most of the waiting rooms are right by the new vehicle area.

This idea that they need to be selling new vehicles just shows how silly the current way that we are doing thinks is crazy. Reynolds is trying to have the best of both side, hoping to not piss off business by closing them down.

GM Dealership.

So our state is nearly the only state whose high-level medical personnel are advising against this? Wow, we must really know something they (and Fauci) don't!

Surely it's no coincidence that the other 8 or so states out of the norm are all of the same political party as the President, and keep referencing lack of hard federal orders as their reasoning for lesser actions... but I suppose that's "too political" to discuss here as a reality, so I'll leave it at that.

Here's a question then. Dr Fauci says we should wear a mask when we are out of our house. I have never seen him wear one in a press conference. Why is he telling us to do things he is not doing?

Because of metrics

Probably the guy in charge of him telling him not to. Just like how he keeps gathering them up in groups of greater than 10 and within 6 feet for pressers, too, which other nations are not doing.

But it's okay, it won't hurt us and it'll never come here. We can trust the non-professional opinions 2 months ago, and can still do so now.

So Fauci does everything Trump tells him to?

 

[baller21]

So Fauci does everything Trump tells him to?

Probably during the press briefings. Didn’t he get cut last minute from the briefing the other day?

Ya for going on Fox and friends and telling them to stop gaslighting

Don't go to a Walmart

 

[madguy30]

So........if he's listening at all to Trump, that means we really don't know amount we should listen to or not? Even if he is only puppeting 10%, that means we need to figure out what 10% we should ignore. This is getting tough. I just figured he was just giving us the low down at all times.

Anything I've seen is Fauci trying to inform and be realistic, and then someone steps in and pushes for drugs that aren't proven to cure it, which also takes away from people with autoimmune disorders that truly need it.

There was a chart a few nights ago about flattening the curve, which should have been done a month ago, and it looked like something out of a bad business meeting.

Indeed. Haven't set foot in one since this all started. Fareway and HyVee aren't awesome, but they're certainly better.

Went to north Fareway in Ames around this time a couple of weeks ago and it was good. Last week went earlier in the afternoon and still fine. The carryout person said it varies - sometimes there are quite a few people there, other times it was empty. I didn't go today.

JUst drove by the Izaac Walton League in Newton and the parking lot was half full

Self-employed, I'd sign up.

I signed my step-daughter up since all her modeling gigs are on hold. I figure she at least qualifies for the $600 per week as a independent contractor model.

I completely understand.

I had to take a break from my independent husky contract modeling career.
