Ever since Governor Reynolds has been giving these press conferences, she's said "We're doing everything necessary to make sure we protect all Iowans and especially Iowans that are most at vulnerable."
If she continues to ramp up restrictions, you're obviously not doing whatever it takes, within obvious reason, to protect all Iowans.
So do you just not like the fact that she made the claim that "we are doing everything necessary?" That seems rather nit-picky since no one in the world is doing everything they could. That was my point. There are always more extreme measures that could be taken. So, by that logic no one is doing everything necessary. We still aren't.
Ideally she would say something more honest like "we are doing everything we can to slow the spread of the virus while trying to avoid further business shut downs that could have sever negative effects themselves." But, she's a politician and politicians try to make things sound as good as possible, which includes telling half-truths or sometimes flat out lying.
I guess I don't really care what she says in the daily briefings. I care more about what we are doing and as of last night, the model everyone has been using predicted that our healthcare system would
not be overrun. So to me, it seemed like we were already on the right track. However, it is just a model, and could still be wrong, because it's been widely wrong in the past.
