(The following Letter to the Editor has been submitted by Bob Puffer of Decorah):

"Toe-to-Toe, our governor seems willing to politicize the Covid-19. She has shut down everything that would be shut down if she ordered a state-wide shutdown but is not declaring a state-wide shutdown. This makes Iowa look really stupid being one of six states not ordering a state-wide shutdown. Politics... meh!"

(The following Letter to the Editor has been submitted by Georgie Klevar of Decorah):

"An article in the Des Moines Register was headlined: "Iowa's Coronavirus Metrics Remain a Mystery." So my question to Governor Reynolds is this, " How many Iowans have to die before the matrix allows you to issue a shelter-in-place order?"
