I agree. And that's why I say it's not about the SIP itself - because what we've done has helped, even if we could be doing more - it's what this whole thing says about her leadership. It's political and public communications malpractice to force yourself, day after day for weeks, to make this arcane argument over a matter of terminology. There are plenty of reasons why you might behave this way, and none of them are good.
She's always been welcome to provide alternative data or explanations at any time. Not bland, substance-free talking points but actual information. She has refused to do so at every opportunity, including today. Again...plenty of reasons to behave this way and none inspire confidence.
Do you know the current number those counties are at? Surprisingly, Reynolds and her team didn't think that question was going to be asked today and didn't have the information to answer that.
I took it to mean that when they actually talked our rules are in line with what states should do. When he said he didn’t know why states don’t have a SIP he didn’t know what the actual rules were here.So...Fauci does know what's going on in Iowa?
Yep. That's the weird part about her response. End of the day, as governor she's free to define what 'stay at home order' means- it means something slightly different everywhere. So why resist doing that and just defining it in the way she wants to, while being more effective due to it being a formal order?
In the UK: Boris Johnson was just taken to intensive care..
I realize that has nothing to do with Iowa, but WOW.

People may get different levels of care depending on their station in the world but there are so many examples of the virus not giving a **** who you are.
I read an article this morning that said the Gates (Bill) foundation is planning on building factories and have them set up to start producing the 7-8 vaccines most likely to be successful. The ones that don't get approved will just be shut down. The idea was to either be ready to start mass producing the moment they are approved, or already have some that are ready to be used.
I think are are something like 30 different vaccines that will be going through trials over the next 12-18 months. The hope is that a handful of them can get approved.
