There's 2 scenarios this can go (help me if I'm wrong, this is my opinion):Playing devil's advocate. If you shut down all non-essential businesses, you are likely forcing thousands more people into unemployment. It's not an easy call.
1) Shelter in place is in effect. Iowa cases go down and thus all workers in effect can return to work sooner (the time difference TBD). Some of these workers have to get unemployment.
2) Things remain how they are. More cases/people die. The timeline drags on so people have to wait to return to work. The people stay employed but some get sick.
Feel free to add to the scenarios. I'd pick number 1 so everyone can return to life as normal as possible (there will be side effects, but I'd rather not drag this out anymore than it has to be. It's a lose-lose situation).
