Near as I can tell things are pretty wide open here in Iowa. We even had the honor of getting an Atlantic scare article of "This is what happens when government does nothing" Turns out what happens when government does nothing is things are perfectly fine.

4000 deaths in Iowa. 127 per 100,000 people in Iowa http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=states&highlight=Iowa&show=highlight-only&y=both&scale=linear&data=deaths&data-source=jhu&xaxis=right#states http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=states&... Compared to 70 per 100,000 people in California. http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=states-normalized&highlight=California&show=midwest&y=both&scale=linear&data=deaths&data-source=jhu&xaxis=right#states-normalized http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=states-...

  So roughly one death for every thousand people in Iowa. That's sad, but the vast majority of people who died this past year died of something else.

    > the vast majority of people who died this past year died of something else. Given that no single cause of death is more than 50% of deaths, this is true for any cause of death.

      The media went out of their way to make people think that Coronavirus was basically the only cause of death this year. Combined with the bogus "positivity rate" that most lay people misinterpreted as the percentage of the population currently infected, this has been coordinated disinformation on a mass scale.

        Coronavirus is the most significant new cause of death in 2020, of course the media is going to talk about it. It's newsworthy. You're just spouting random conspiracy theories.

  Isn't that better than the US average?
