Iowa Gov Kim Reynolds held a press conference last Thursday ( a week ago) urging people to do the right thing to stop the spiking cases of the virus.

A good solid message.....


Today's news ..........

Woodbury County confirmed its 101st death Wednesday and its 102nd death Thursday. Both deaths were men between the ages of 61 and 80.

The Northwest Iowa county also added 110 new cases of COVID-19 Thursday, according to Siouxland District Health Department. As of 4 p.m., Woodbury County had 8,076 total cases of the virus, according to state statistics. It's 14-day COVID-19 positivity rate stood at 20.7 percent.


Sioux County had the fifth highest positivity rate in the state Thursday at 27.1 percent, followed by O'Brien County in sixth, 26.4 percent; Plymouth County in seventh, 26.3; and Ida County in ninth, 24.7 percent.

On Thursday, a total of 74 people with COVID-19 were hospitalized at either MercyOne Siouxland Medical Center or UnityPoint Health -- St. Luke's, according to district health, an increase of nine from Sunday. Of those patients, 55 were hospitalized because they had COVID-19. Another 19 people in the hospital have the virus, but are hospitalized for other reasons. Of the total, 41 are Woodbury County residents.

It's a pandemic. By nature we're choosing the "least bad" options from a shitty menu.

Was thinking about something... It's been silly of me to try to look at southern and northern US states to try to tease out whether there is a significant weather component to this thing...

...when I could just look at the big countries in South America, who are coming out of winter and into summer.



Pretty universally, these countries have seen peaks during winter and it's been decreasing since. 

There could be other explanations, of course... Maybe they put in strong mitigation efforts because of the severity of their peaks and THAT, rather than weather, has a much bigger effect. 

But it's one more piece of evidence that there might be a significant weather component here.

I'm also told I shouldn't get political, which to properly address what we should (and should in the past) do requires discussion that includes political crap.  This is taboo in the echo chamber here.

Anyway, what's the best way to get out of a quagmire?  Not to get in one, of course.  But we're here, you might say, it does no good to look at the past.  Great. 

I don't believe I've suggested the answer is endless lockdowns.  I know my situation and what's prudent for me.  Answers?  Anytime I approach an answer, everyone bitches about how ______ I am and fails to address the actual idea.  They just disparage me (not that I care). 

As I attempt to address points on what I would do, it just winds up sounding like I'm shitting on Trump over and over, even while not even dwelling on him, specifically.  You and 847 call for my input, but it's just to dismiss it.  I'll post something substantive when I get home.

Here's one idea - instead of trickle-down economics, how about trickle up pandemic?  The most wealthy end up holding the bill on the societal pause. 
I'm actually legitimately interested in your response.

Please note, and I offer this as constructive criticism rather than an attack, but you sometimes have a tendency to speak in half sentences and resort to hyperbole and leave a lot to the reader to interpret what you "meant". 

So I'm actually looking for something substantive. If you were the national COVID Czar, what policy proposals would you be pushing?

You're like a prodigy at twisting words.  I say the masses in the US wouldn't be accurately described as adults, and you pull the phrase "almost none of us" out of your ass.

In retrospect it feels like the best strategy would have been to be much looser in the summer while signaling restrictions in flu season. A tough thing to recommend, especially as the virus was peaking in many states over the summer.

All of the above is obviously assuming that Americans either can't or won't behave responsibly when their actions may potentially harm others.  If wearing a mask kept the wearer safe, I promise the spread of the virus would be MUCH lower.  We're the best country in the world because of our selfishness?  Ignorance?  Freedom!  Yes, freedom.  The freedom to stupid, no matter the cost.


^See, I think I did a good job of leaving this type of stuff out of my lengthy post.  :72:
