You understand there is a lot of uncertainty in that model which is indicated by those shaded areas. The numbers are going to jump around some. Its not going to follow a nice orderly curve. You can't take the 2 most recent observation points and declare the model is wrong.
And yet, our corporate office just sent us documentation to have with us as though we are in a shelter in place because that's what 'the Iowa Department of Public Health has informed us is necessary in the event of law enforcement involvement'
Our state unfortunately is a making a mockery of this whole ******* thing. It’s embarrassing in all honesty.
I know for a fact that steps were taken to control people flow to reduce interactions and workers were being checked for temperature before starting the day.
Short of testing everybody everywhere around the place every day including truck and delivery drivers, what steps should have been taken that are consistent with maintaining operations?
Yes...I'd like to see what their updated projections are though. Those tend to come up every 3 days or so.
Most other countries I've looked at on the Worldometer site show that they had a big spike and then other spikes before recently dwindling down a bit.
Well first of all incentives for showing up every day in April shouldn't have been a thing. Second, they should not be shipping workers from Columbus Junction up to Waterloo without being tested.
Was there an opportunity in January or February or so to start a plan for this process that would have us closer to this point now?
Of course the elderly matter. They're lives are just as precious as mine. What I'm saying is that those people in those facilities are the most susceptible as they basically mark every box the CDC says are most likely to suffer the worst consequences. The reality of this situation is that they were always going to be worst off.
Was everyone required to wear a mask? Were common areas sanitized between uses? Were shift changes, breaks and meal times staggered? Were shift sizes and operations reduced?
So region 6 is now a 10, and absolutely nothing is changing.
I’m sorry, but poor Kim is in WAY over her head. She’s making Iowa look terrible.

Call me fu***** crazy but I would have considered spacing people out and operating slower vs running the throttle wide open and operating at capacity. We are talking about numerous plants that are going to sit idle instead of just reducing their output. Being labeled "essential" doesn't mean you get to ignore all of the other precautions that need to be taken.
