How busy are they with this, and how are things looking for being stocked up with equipment for a surge if it happens?
It wasn't in today's state numbers, but per their county-level press conference, Black Hawk County has passed Linn and is up to 622 total cases (increase of 111 from yesterday and 200+ more than the state website shows)

I saw this and a similar release yesterday that they had 511 cases - I understand that the state website is 24 hours behind is that right ? But it seems like these numbers are 48 hours or more ahead .
Agree - the 511 cases press release was yesterday at this time. It does appear the state numbers are at least 48 hours behind.
I have been unemployed since the last week of March and have received ZERO $600 payments.
My state is supposed to be getting the first round of payments out this week if you filed after Wednesday. I filed Sunday and got my normal payment without the $600 today.
Fortunately, I am fine, but I would imagine that a large group of people aren't.
Correct. They're doing full surveillance testing so they're catching all the asymptomatics that otherwise wouldn't be tested.
There has always been a risk associated with property rental, which is basically property investment. These are certainly exceptional times, but even you just admitted that 95% is normal. That right there tells you that there is risk.
Nothing is guaranteed in the real estate market and this situation should be an eye-opener to that fact.
I also agree with you that it isn't fair, but life isn't fair and perhaps if you had made a different investment you wouldn't be in your current situation.
Per testing: is the increase of testing availability going up a lot in every state?
I follow the world o meter site which isn't going to be totally accurate anyway for many reasons, but nationally daily cases have either stabilized a bit but some days the numbers are about the same as a month ago.
Some states are having huge jumps due to packing plants etc., but I'm wondering if the numbers are influenced by a general increase in testing, leading to finding more positive results in turn.

You are right and of course, I get fully understand that. Plus we have enough properties, tenants, and a vacancy fund to cover short term things like this. But its also not reasonable to blanket say people don't have to pay their rent because that impacts people several links down the chain. We have told all of our tenants that we aren't going to evict anyone for late payments but we need them to pay SOMETHING. And we'll work with them to get a plan in place to get caught up later. That seems reasonable to me and I would hope tenants would be reasonable too (most but not all will).
There should also be a risk when you're a renter. You don't pay rent you get evicted, you don't pay your mortgage you get evicted, you don't pay your car loan you lose the car, etc. That's how things are supposed to work.
I was wondering when this would happen. What was Tree Town Music Festival, now Country Thunder Iowa, got moved from mid-June to Labor Day weekend.
Really good news about the sun killing the virus with warm weather and humidity.
Link?
The information came out about last week about the sun and surfaces, heat and humidity are still unknown although I thought there was a study that it was less transmittable as temps and humidity went up.
It will still be around in the summer but probably less transmittable due to people being generally spread out.
They talked about it In the White House press briefing One of the scientists said that 75 degrees and humid temps kills the virus in like a minute. Don’t quote me on that but I’m sure there will be articles coming out that will break it down based on the temperature and humidity. you can also pull up a clip on YouTube and watch it for yourself, was very interesting. It was only like 5 or 10 minutes long.
Yeah the article last week didn't specify temps vs. time it goes away so that would be good information.
The sun's rays even in cold temps can do some incredible things.
Of course, the upper midwest refuses to 1. Be sunny and 2. get above 65.
I fully expect a second round of Covid 19 in the fall and winter and there'd better be a plan to take it on.
