    What's going on in Iowa? Is it the meat-packing industry that's driving this?https://twitter.com/melissadderosa/status/1318209328898318338 …

        We have nearly zero measures statewide to tackle the virus.

        I don't know if it is only that but the meat packing plants are massive vectors of infection

        Yes. Meat packing and a state government with no desire to help

        I mean, a big part of this is that New York is able to test a shitload of people, while smaller states have to scrounge for testing capacity. Especially once FL and GA and TX started gobbling up tests this summer.

        Iowa is only doing 2K-4K tests per day for 3 million people, NY is doing 140K for 19 million . That’s almost 6 times more per capita

        If you mean he (and later Clinton) started the deregulation that has made American meat-packing a global scandal -- yes, that's a good point.
