Some thoughts on where we are with COVID in Iowa.
#beds
Hospitals are full. Don't look at "beds" available on websites. Hospitals are already running at >100% capacity. Healthcare workers are burning out. If all we needed were beds, we could just put people into hotels. 1/x

#community
People are not wearing masks and are doing things they shouldn't. Don't go to bars to watch the Hawkeyes. Don't take grandpa to eat indoors at restaurants. Eating/drinking indoors increases risk 3-4 times! If you go to bars/resturants you are collapsing hospitals 2/x

#schools
The virus is spreading in schools. This is because community rates are too high and there are too many kids/teachers getting infected in the community. We will need to close schools in Iowa and reduce transmission before we can safely reopen them 3/x

We can't have bars AND schools open at this time. We need to close bars and schools and then we can open schools in 3-4 weeks. Once we get rates lower, we can then open bars/restaurants. We need a mask mandate now that the election is over, full stop. 4/x

#PlanForIowa
1) Close bars, resturants for indoor dining; use surplus (CARES?) funds to support those businesses for 3 months
2) Mask mandate with enforcement - people are dying, hospitals are collapsing
3) Ban indoor gatherings >5 people
We can survive with good leadership 5/5
