Pence has graced Iowa with his presence

Ugh



Iowa's political leaders and Vice President Mike Pence cited the need for faith and God during the pandemic while urging churches and religious institutions to restart in-person services.

Religious leaders had come out and urged churches not to reopen last weekend when Governor Reynolds first removed her order barring religious gatherings as a protection against COVID-19.

Other leaders did note strong concerns with resuming in-person service. A representative of the Jewish faith said they had no plans to reopen anytime soon.
Iowa's Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst expressed the need for faith and God's help to guide so many who are suffering through the Pandemic.

Pence has called Iowa a success story in its efforts to combat COVID-19. That comes as Iowa has seen a surge in cases over the past two weeks. Governor Kim Reynolds, in that time, has moved to ease restrictions and allowed some businesses to reopen with precautions.


Mikey are we looking at the same fucking story here?

Today there were 19 new deaths, over 300 new cases, and over 11,000 people stricken with the disease. Iowa is a low population state. How is that a success? The numbers are surging.

The republicans are nothing more than a cabal of ghouls. I loathe each and every one of them.
