DES MOINES, Iowa — Gov. Kim Reynolds has eliminated most of her COVID-19 restrictions in the latest health proclamation.
According to the Governor's Office, the proclamation removes indoor mask requirements in public spaces, gathering limits and restrictions on businesses starting 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7.

Polls must be bad.
Republican, of course
...not good news...GREAT news... It is deplorable that governors in other states do not have the cojones to do what this governor has done...!! there is soooooo much controversy over these useless face diapers... but I wonder who will come out on top given the CDC’s latest pronouncemento regarding....the wearing of these useless items...!!!
Iowa is now FREEER than Texas!
MeeMaw just extended Alabama's health order through March 5 last week.
....Grrrrrr....! Don’t mess with Texas.....but be sure
to wear your approved mask....or maybe two.....
in a word, this whole situation just SUCKS....!!
Watch the Quad Cities area do fantastic business as Western Illinoians cross the river for entertainment.
She is in a fight.
This might help, but I expect the GOP to pivot to full lock down soon.
This was a political decision.
Chart their economic activity from here forward.
The states that are opening up again are going to have to challenge Biden’s national “mask mandate” for public transportation. He’s interfering with everything from interstate commerce to the right of the states to regulate the use of their own lands and public assets (paid for out of state taxes), as well as the freedom of movement of its citizens.
I was crossing the ol’ Muddy into Davenport 44 yrs ago, to the discos. It wasn’t because of the discos,.... it was because of high concentration of pretty girls in one building. They loved to boogie. You would know that you were getting good at it when the girls started asking you to dance.
But low and behold I met my wife at a bar on the IL side, fall 77. After we got married we hardly ever to a dance hall or bar; and completely stopped going to those places by our second anniversary.
For the last 20 yrs or so, the growth in the QCs has been mostly on the IA side.
the reynolds wrap has been released...
Blue team already planning to file wrongful death suits against Gov. Reynolds for every death.
And to be honest, I am not really happy about it. Not because I LIKE masks, but because it is going to bring a lot of blue state refuges into Iowa, and flip the state even faster.
