Why can't Wuhan or Milan or New York have been the control group? We've already run the experiment. We know how this works. Iowa doesn't look any different.

Why can't Wuhan or Milan or New York have been the control group? We've already run the experiment. We know how this works. Iowa doesn't look any different. It just doesn't. Iowa simply got started late.
You... genuinely don't think this is going to happen, do you? Even with the numbers above, you just figure something's going to change and you won't need to do anything?
- war1025 7y ago> you won't need to do anything? You seem to be going out of your way to misunderstand what I am saying. Iowa is highly locked down. We simply have not been ordered to "shelter in place". Most of these restrictions remain in effect. The twenty counties that are experiencing outbreak growth remain completely locked down. The plan is to re-evalute and dynamically change restrictions as time goes on. The official Coronavirus info page for Iowa is at [1]. Every county that has had restrictions lifted has experienced multiple weeks of declining case growth. Supposing they see an uptick in cases, measures will be re-instated. It makes no sense to lock down rural counties that have seen zero or next to zero cases. Doing so will not ease the case load in the metros a hundred miles away.
