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

[Trice]

It's gross. It takes a shot at New York, while claiming to roll out a plan for virtual learning in our schools. At the beginning of this didn't Reynolds just recommend schools be closed and not even officially shut them down?

Correct on the schools. And yes, it's extremely gross. "Proactive" strike teams to conduct surveillance testing is just laughable when these strike teams are days or weeks behind outbreaks.

Given that it was written jointly, I suppose all it takes to make any given claim "technically" true is that one state did it, but in looking at that roster of states I'm skeptical any one of them lives up to their claims.

 

[cydsho]

Wow, that is a bold statement to put out.

Wow. That joint statement is like if the 49ers came out in the 2nd half wearing super bowl champ shirts.

 

[bawbie]

But will he wear a mask?

Of course not. The POTUS photo op in Arizona today included handshakes but no masks

It’s just been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV2 from replicating in labs so far. They’re not sure exactly how or why it accomplishes this yet though.

Gotcha. Thank you. I wonder if this is something that could be sort of a base platform to be an early configuration of a possible treatment/vaccine for not only this virus, but others in the same category we may face later?

WHO-TV scrolled that earlier today. Costco yesterday had a 3-package limit. Wonder if they're changing how they package meat now -- less in a package or bundle?

Yep, my reply was to the post with the DMR link about Hy-Vee.

 

[CycloneErik]

That's kinda been in line with my expectations/assumptions of how this is all going based on messaging from my company as well. We actually just sent out another email yesterday laying out the kinds of criteria we are judging for deciding on how and when to return the office... and we were told not to expect that to happen until at least July at this point in time.

The life of a non-expendable employee sounds sweet.

Why in the **** is Pence going to talk about churches?

There are so many ways to get around it. I’m not sure it’s even worthwhile.

They aren’t the first.

He is going to encourage church leaders to start opening churches back up again at the same time his task force is supposedly worried about Des Moines. Wow.

Probably since that is the one thing that got opened up with the least restrictions. Wouldn’t you discuss the one thing with the highest potential spread? Or would you think it’s better to discuss the schools deciding to cancel for the year?

Maybe he will talk about the safety factors. We'll see.

He's coming here to encourage church leaders to reopen. Its monumentally stupid. Churches are one of the last things that should be going back to normal, they should reopen right around when sporting events do, months from now, given they are large gatherings that tend towards the older. Its completely braindead.

Is there a link to this? I see where he is going to talk reopening. I don't doubt he'll try and tell everyone it is cool to open them.

According to a news release, Pence will come to Des Moines to meet with and encourage faith leaders to reopen following social distancing guidelines.
