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

[wxman1]

Absolutely impossible to social distance at the CR farmers market.

 

[DSMCy]

How do you social distance at farmers market??? Lol

I see a few people that are a few feet apart. Not sure what you think the problem is.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

So did she extend the rest of the businesses to May or what? Restaurants, salons?

 

[1UNI2ISU]

The CR and DSM farmer's markets are huge outliers from the rest of farmer's markets in Iowa.

no. She’ll open things up starting May 1st.

So asking if you are allergic is now the same as pushing it as a treatment? Perhaps they are looking for people for a controlled study, at best.

no, the contract that was posted on-line has a clause about hydroxychloroquine being used as an example recommended treatment. Conflicts of interest are an issue with no-bid contracts and it's not clear the state did due diligence on this one.

It would not be appropriate for a pharmaceutical company to use information from a state testing site to gather info for controlled studies, IMO

I'll be working from home for the next few months regardless and the wife and kids are off school, let's open this **** up and thin out the herd. See you guys on the other side.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

That’s what she said?

 

[isufbcurt]

Farmers markets? seriously? That's about the last thing I would be worried about opening.

You got an invite to vault 76 also?

She said she will make an announcement Monday, but when pressed about restaurants she said she would give them time to stock up on supplies before they open. Then said the current order will end on May 1, so you can kind of do the math that they will open May 1.

That's a much lower attended Des Moines farmers market than normal

Lots of leadership is just throwing darts I think.

 

[keepngoal]

not extending that order is idiotic. Now... are there business that could open up? Yep. Is that how this is being approached? Maybe. I do know they should be looking at requirements and check lists for every business that wants to open up. It gets reviewed, and then a determination is made.

 

[jsb]

That’s what she said?

She's starting on May 1st. She won't be specific on how/what/etc.

LIBERATE IOWA!

Was there a plan as to how those places will stay stocked to keep up with demand with a trend in things like entire plants having to shut down?

There was so little info said. Monday will be can't miss for sure.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

So casinos and everything are good to go May 1st? That’s almost as bad as Georgia
