I feel sorry for you guys there for how your state is , I am not far from your boarder, I fish the Miss,once in awhile and go into your state.I see what you mean by what you said about all you said .

I agree with you!!!!! More cases everyday. Thursday 176. Friday 521. New record Saturday 648. Even the POTUS said we should not open up our states until we have had 14 consecutive days of lower numbers. The Des Moines Farmers Market has in the past had 650,000 people attend during their 26 week season or 25,000 per Saturday. This all in a 3-4 block area. There will be no social distancing with that many people in such a small area.

I thought she and the Nebraska governor had something good going with their Test Iowa and Test Nebraska Program following Utah’s Test program then she has this press briefing and says she is going to open up the state.

Maybe as some of you say we need to allow this virus to run its course but if we don’t try and slow it down our hospitals and morgues will be overrun just as they did in New York.

Of course there's going to be a rise in numbers there are more tests being done. This comes down to a choice that people should have. If they choose to go out and patronize a business that decides to open up they should have that choice.

It's getting to be very obvious picking out the ones who want to live off the backs of others. It's as if they want the country to fail. End the stimulus checks and the bonus to unemployment and see how fast their tune changes.

If they quit doing tests or do fewer the numbers will go down for 14 days so then open it up. Problem solved.(Sarcasm).
It also would help if they quit lumping in people that have a laundry list of health problems in with the deaths. I read that in northern WI. there was a person with stage 4 lung cancer, 90 years old and they died. They tested them for corona (positive) and it was marked as the cause of death. They're also putting presumptive numbers in as factual to pad the counts. so if you say I had a cough and a fever awhile back right now and I think it was corona it's marked it down as corona.

I see you brought up New York and yes their deaths went up. Look at the population of the NYC it's a perfect spot for this. They also had a navy ship brought in to be a floating hospital and didn't need it. there's been temporary hospitals set up all over in metro areas and from what I've read very few have been utilized and none have been at capacity.

I don't take covid as a joke at all but there has to be a common sense approach to this. If you live in fear on this you'll be living in fear all your life. It may be here to stay. Use your own judgement.

I feel saaaaaffffeee,
