If they really cared they would move forward with these scientific findings.Feels good to headline the news

Part of this is limits on available tests. Yesterday morning I was tipped off to a live stream of the Orange County Board of Supervisors who were discussing the [now released] health order basically shutting everything except essential services down.

One of the things that they were talking about is that they'd only tested 300 people in Orange County--and furthermore, they only had a little over 1,000 test kits available for testing more people. This is in a county of >3M people.

I think the testing restrictions aren't because they don't want to test these people, it's because they're trying to ration very few test kits to the most necessary cases.
I understand the reasons for rationing tests, but had we gotten out front on testing, we would be better targeted in our responses to the pandemic, which I think we can have almost universal agreement.

I want to know if this is spreading in rural Iowa. If it is, I can tell you that with all the people flocking to Fareway and Hy-Vee,  those places would be a cesspool for spread of COVID-19. There are no limits on the number of people congregating in grocery stores.  I suspect by the end of the week there will be security at the entrance to grocery stores limiting the # who can be inside at any one time.

If it is not spreading in rural Iowa, it would help calm things down a bit. And we could open things up a bit more; we should not be closing factories if it is not spreading here. We should restrict travel outside each county to essential travel.

Agreed. The ball was clearly dropped on testing.

Yesterday, the governor of our state allowed elections to happen. I have no idea why, since he closed schools, bars, restaurants, gyms, etc. But, they happened. Decent turnout, all things considered, but it was a shit show. No hand sanitizer or wipes at many polling places. Machines right on top of each other. Just a complete cluster, and he owns it.

So, we'll probably see spread here.

It was the first time I haven't voted in an election in 35 years, before I was allowed to.

I'm a permanent vote-by-mail participant. 

I did that after literally two Presidential elections in a row (2008/2012) I happened to be traveling for work on election day and couldn't vote. 

And vote-by-mail doesn't spread any germs lol :72:

Better yet make online voting widely adopted.

Testing is way too restrictive. These are the testing restrictions in Iowa.

Please DO NOT send samples to the State Hygienic Laboratory if they do not meet these criteria:
  • Hospitalized patient with fever and respiratory failure and no alternate diagnosis
  • Hospitalized older adult (> 60 years of age) with fever or respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, difficulty breathing) and chronic medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, immunosuppressive medications, chronic lung disease, or chronic kidney disease)
  • Any person (including healthcare providers) with household contact with a laboratory confirmed case of COVID-19 in the 14 days prior to becoming ill with fever or respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, difficulty breathing)
  • Any person with a history of international travel to a country with a Level 3 CDC travel health warning (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/index.html) or has taken an international cruise in the 14 days prior to becoming ill with fever and respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, difficulty breathing) and no alternate diagnosis
Iowa State Hygienic Lab Testing Resrictions for COVID-19


The restrictive testing is damaging the economy, and risks health and safety.


I assume this is because there are not enough tests for anyone that simply wants a test.  Hopefully this will resolve itself soon.

Woodbury County Heath Dept addressed this restricted testing this morning.
They would not say how many tests had been administered or how many tests were available, but with these restrictions ALL tests had come back negative.

Perhaps only 3 folks have been tested, but it's still good news

In an A-political way, that was deeply foolish and shame on him. Terrible.

supposedly this one is vulnerable to temperatures above 110* which is why some are recommending a lot of outside time in the sunshine and getting those lungs working... or inhaling warm air deeply several times a day... bringing the nasal and sinus cavities temperature up in effort to kill it. 

I'm not a doctor, but it would seem to me that if the virus made it into my lungs, it would be too late
perhaps you could lessen the symptoms?

The restaurant may still close, but the truck stop itself has to stay open; I think there might be plans to have the restaurant staff be available for some type of pick up orders for the truckers; who knows it's all wait and see at this point. Whatever we gotta do to keep the supply lines open because God knows we all need what the truckers deliver. 
My husband's boss called this afternoon; they are going to strictly take-out orders and while they may have to cut some hours, the plan right now is to take advantage of closing the dine-in areas and doing a deep clean from ceilings to floors which will also have the benefit of giving workers the opportunity to maintain close to their regular hours and avoid being laid off.  They may have to apply for partial unemployment but at least they will still have a job.  I'll be curious to hear how it all went today when my hubby gets home.

If the air in your lungs was that hot, you'd be hospitalized.  
Even when you exhale as much as you can, your lungs still have plenty of air to cool very warm air you're breathing back in.  It's a fantasy.
