No, trump cannot mandate all bars and restaurants opened, but his opinion does hold a lot of weight to some of these governors, especially those that are republicans. If Gov. Reynolds were a democrat, I would say with almost 100% confidence we'd already be in a state shutdown.
Oh I would absolutely agree. But I do think she is being a bit reactive instead of proactive like some states have been.Reynolds has taken this much more seriously than Trump.

It doesn't seem like the stores have been that busy in the last week or so, in Ames anyways.
States like New York, Washington, and Illinois have had to be more proactive than us.Oh I would absolutely agree. But I do think she is being a bit reactive instead of proactive like some states have been.
I think that jumping the gun too early could've been a little over the top and maybe what we currently have is working to the extent of not spreading this virus in large crowds, but from a lot of the cases brought to light yesterday, it seems as if this is now spreading in workplaces. Quaker Oats in CR just had a confirmed case. 5 people within care facilities tested positive (which was part of her criteria).Perhaps, but so far it's been in line with Iowa's needs. I realize why some want to get more aggressive now, but the next level isn't much more than where we're currently at, and our case growth has been steady vs. exponential. Obviously we aren't testing as many people as we should, but you can extrapolate things from the testing we're doing.
I love the dumbasses that could work from home but don't and think it's ok because they just go to work and the store. It's like the virus will take it easy on them because going to the store is essential.
No doubt.. Those types of states absolutely need to be more proactive than us. There are also some states with far less people than Iowa who have been more proactive (Idaho and West Virginia). There are areas within Iowa where these cases are predominantly spreading, and I think those areas should probably take action on their own in trying to stop this. Mayors of our larger cities have come out and spoken about doing so, but would rather have Reynolds take initiative. Another large spike in those places and they might not have a choice but to make a decision.States like New York, Washington, and Illinois have had to be more proactive than us.
It is what it is, but if we shut everything down for 2 weeks, there will just be a spike in cases once that hard shutdown is over. I think we have handled it just fine, and the important thing is that places that are able to keep working from home do so and retired seniors or higher risk people still continue staying home and distancing themselves if they do go to the grocery store.No doubt..

What is the best time to hit the grocery store now? When are they least busy?
Again I really think you are taking your scenario and extrapolating it much more broadly than it should be. Your examples of Quaker Oats and care facilities still aren’t shutting down regardless. They are absolutely essential businesses.I think that jumping the gun too early could've been a little over the top and maybe what we currently have is working to the extent of not spreading this virus in large crowds, but from a lot of the cases brought to light yesterday, it seems as if this is now spreading in workplaces.

So maybe the decisions she's been making have been good up to this point, but if these cases are still popping up in businesses that are running like nothing is wrong, which is a lot of them, then she needs to take the next step. I've seen numerous stories of people who cannot receive testing because they don't fit into the criteria needed, but they still have to return to work because they won't be sent home unless they test positive. That is not good and will only increase the spread of this.
There is going to be a spike in cases regardless of whether or not we shut down, but the spread will continue without anything else being done. Yes, the spread is being cut down right now with people working from home and certain businesses not being open, but it's still spreading because there are businesses currently operating as if absolutely nothing is wrong. I'm seeing it with my own eyes in my workplace and I'm hearing it from other people as well.It is what it is, but if we shut everything down for 2 weeks, there will just be a spike in cases once that hard shutdown is over.

Isn't that ok though? I mean, the whole idea of "flatten the curve" isn't to eliminate the virus, it's to keep the rate of infection consistent, so the number of people requiring hospitalization is consistent and hopefully below the threshold for what hospitals can handle.There is going to be a spike in cases regardless of whether or not we shut down, but the spread will continue without anything else being done.

Yes Quaker Oats is essential and must operate but they're an example of how it's continuing to spread in work environments. And how do you suppose cracking down on singular companies? How would that work? Lol the only way for that to happen would be for some sort of mandate.Again I really think you are taking your scenario and extrapolating it much more broadly than it should be.

I be said it before and I will say it again. What we really need is a targeted crackdown on people like your company who are not letting people WFH when they can. All my friends and family have transitioned to WFH who can.
I still think locking people in their houses which is about the only thing left is more harmful than helpful.
