Agreed but perhaps they will rethink it now. I know all the other area pools were going to wait and see.
Almost impossible to get your staff trained and everything ready to open. Pointless to open for a month and a half.
Jesus told Kimmie it was safe. If there are outbreaks it’s the Lord’s will.
She got the meat packing plants all cleaned up, and new safety protocols implemented, right?

unless they have already been working on some of that. I know many pools have still been doing lap swim and lessons.
Hell, kids can find someplace else to pee.
Like the protests right?
Most indoor pools can operate with a staff of 20 people. An outdoor pool needs up to 150 lifeguards if it is decent size. All of those employees require training each year. There will be a few pools that open but the vast majority will not. Finding staff will be a challenge.
Our small town pool was open for lessons and lap swim with the hopes of more opening later. They guessed correctly.
Stand alone. Almost every small Iowa town with a population around 1000 or more has a city pool. Many in the past decade have actually built nice mini aquatic parks.
I wasn't clear on the pool part whether they just had to comply with the normal IDPH regulations for pools or more strict CDC guidelines for COVID. Enforcing social distancing between anyone not living in the same home would be a huge challenge if the latter.
Linn county has 129 COVID cases out of 226,000 people. Utterly stupid to continue not letting people be responsible for themselves
Vision Iowa in the Vilsack era built a lot of those pools.
I miss lap swimming a lot. All the open swim events this summer are already cancelled.
HyVee curbside pickup, takeout and eating at home. These are options for you, did you realize that?
Lol. Notice he didn't mention much about the spread of the virus by the protestors over the last two weeks. If it isn't part of the leftist narrative you won't hear a word from Mr. Ciggy.
I triple checked and they aren't making anyone go to a restaurant or go to a pool. So the people angered by this can stay in the safety of their basement. Hopefully forever.
It's the bars. Some have been pushing it and the complaints were coming in. Rather than deal with it through legal means, it's easier to just drop the restriction.
It's time to keep slowing coming back.
Especially with college classes now starting in mid-August. The IC city park pool hasn’t been filled yet. There is no way they start now and then shut down in early August.
Have heard it's been SRO on weekend nights at the General Store in Stone City since it reopened a few weeks ago. People want to eat and drink together.
Ate out at the Lakes twice this past weekend and again last night. All three places were packed and I'm sure well over 50%. Gonna get crazy up there.
Guessing if your establishment were a hot spot pre covid it still would be and if not the cat's meow, people wouldn't be a anxious to return.
When I was up there for openers it was spooky. Noone in sight. Lights were out. Even the convenience stores were closed by 7 or 8. Wally world was dark by then too. (Obviously some of the seasonal places aren't open yet then but some are).
The place at the trestle was still closed and was using their parking lot as an outdoor boat showroom.
Glad it has bounced back....hopefully everyone will stay well.
I know Coralville is opening there's but they have ulterior motives for that move.
IOWA HAS 3,100,000 PEOPLE.... we'll be ok. protect the elderly and diseased. get the healthy back to work.
I've seen a few smaller towns announce the re-opening on their local pools, still hoping we see something closer to QCA
Our country club has a pool, but it only offers one diving board
