Oh, NOW we're getting it.
This isn't even at him...there's lots of people that just didn't pay attention to this that are absolutely at fault.
That's good to hear. Unfortunately that's not the case for a lot of places. People are dumb.My rural community is taking it pretty seriously. Things are shut down, have been for weeks, and I haven’t seen any significant gatherings of people in close spaces.
It’s been confirmed in nearby counties the whole time though, so I think that’s a big part of it.

Makes you wonder what this will do to health care costs going forward.
Health insurance premium increases, what else. Some projections are average of +40% but don't say this system is broken.
Can someone give me a medical answer here? If the average incubation time is 5.3 days, with a 98% chance after 11.5 days, where are all of the new cases coming from? Not tests that were taken a week ago and published now, but the actual cases? Most things have been shut down for two weeks, and with the exception of the grocery store or fast food, how is this being spread that the peak is still "two weeks out"?
Are grocery stores and hyvee spreading it, is the incubation time longer than what doctors have thought, or something else? Is the peak is in two weeks that means the majority haven't even caught it yet.
Total cases up to 424 per the govt website. No link yet
I’m hearing a few stories out of rural areas where people are symptomatic and going to their doctors/medical facilities looking for a test and have been told “go to Des Moines and get in line”.
Linn up to the top count in the state at 71. It was 40 yesterday I think.
One of my co-workers had symptoms last week but because she is in her upper 20s with no pre-existing conditions, she was told she couldn't get tested but to assume she has it. I wonder how many of those there are in Iowa. I sense a lot more than the 300 reported known cases we have in the state.

If you look at the spread of the virus data from other counters, we should be hitting the peak of the virus this week, but I wonder if the slow response and down playing of the severity of the virus by the WH, has not spread that timeline out longer.
By downplaying the severity of the virus here in the US, and waiting to ramp up stopping it, we might have just made it worse.
We have quite a few more cases than a lot of states that have already ordered a shelter in place. Not sure the hold up.
Exactly about the only thing we don’t have is telling people to not go outside.Frankly, shelter in place isn't any more than what we've already done. I don't know why people are so hung up on the exact phrasing of what we call it.

There are employers that are still hesitant let employees work from home. A more explicit order might change that.
