> There are states that have had good responses to the pandemic, Iowa is not one of them.

I work in Ames and live in the next town over.

As I said before, and as I will repeat any time it comes up, for a place that is supposedly doing "everything wrong", there is very little impact on daily life.

As in, literally zero.

You wear a mask to the store. Other than that, life continues mostly as before.

People are in my opinion making a serious mistake holding Iowa up as the picture of failure because Coronavirus is literally a non-event in most people's lives here.

I've been told for months now that we're on the cusp of everything going wrong.

It's been one big nothing after another.
