Gret video on the Pedati resignation - Podcast by George

[rurallib]

For those who don't know, Dr. Caitlin Pedati who is serving as Iowa's epidemiologist suddenly resigned last Wednesday offering no reason.
George interviews Iowa's most prominent blogger, Laura Belin of bleedingheartland.com for her views on the Pedati time in office.
It is long, but well worth the time:

Podcast by George is getting to be one of my favorites. Here is his website:

1. That was very interesting and depressing.

Reynolds and Pedati, two incompetent people unable to provide the leadership Iowans need.

George is right, Pedati was out of her depth from day one.

I will definitely be listening to George’s podcasts.

Bleedingheartland is a consistently good resource.

2. Yep!

3. Iowa COVID-19 Tracker link!!!!! EUREKA!!!! So glad I watched the video

https://iowacovid19tracker.org/

So glad to find this information people need to know to stay safe.

Iowa covid-19 dashboard is shot full of holes and missing information that I think is the work of governor's office.

4. The writer of that blog is immuno compromised so information on the virus

is critical to her.

5. Shame on state government a private citizen has to ferret out the information.

Thank You Ruralib. Iowa's stick your head in the sand and hope for the best is the worst plan for the new wave.

6. what is really sad is that Covid Kim gets away with it

and few in Iowa's press corps even raise a peep. If they do they will lose access, so they keep their mouths shut and write articles that won't harm her highness.

Glad to see that Laura Belin will be in the press conferences at least for a while ---
I doubt she will get called on to ask a question though. I am sure Reynolds knows exactly what Belin looks like.
