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.
