Nobody says do nothing. Iowa still has tons of safety procedures and the world is forever changed by COVID. I'm just a realist. I
acknowledge my privilege being able to keep my white collar job and stay safe in my suburban home. The longer we cancel and stay closed, the poorest communities will hurt. I care about service employees who need to have a job to keep their family fed and a roof over their heads. We can't hand out unemployment benefits forever. Life has to go on. This was never about stay in your house until a vaccine is found.
THERE IS NO BINARY ACTION THAT WILL STOP COVID. Yes, having 30K people at a football game is a risk. But more than 30K people will go into the Waukee Hy-Vee between now and football season with minimal cleaning. Hy-Vee got rid of at-risk population hours. Where is the outrage about letting those at risk shop at the same time as healthier populations.
