Picture
Can someone please update Governor Reynold's picture? She should have an official photo in her position as governor. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Linphil (talk • contribs) 04:19, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
COVID-19 response section
The final section of the Tenure section that deals with COVID-19 is clearly written from an uneven and biased perspective. An example of this occurs in the phrasing, “Unfortunately for most Iowans....” While the information the editor meant to provide perhaps is true, the method by which they conveyed it is very problematic and distinctly not NPOV. What is with that bizarre reference to Ashton Kutcher? And, honestly, all three of the COVID-19 paragraphs are just poorly and confusingly written. Babykitsune (talk) 02:23, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- I edit a lot of medical stories on Wikipedia, and I think this section (as now written) on Reynold's response to covid-19 meets Wikipedia guidelines and policies on WP:NPOV. If there is a biased perspective, it merely reflects the perspective of the WP:RS that it quotes from, including the New York Times [1] and the New Yorker [2]. The fact she rejected the advice of her own state medical staff, and instead took advice from Ashton Kutcher, certainly raises an eyebrow, especially when he advised her to hire a company, Nomi Health, whose only experience in testing has been unfavorable in Utah and Tennessee [3]. I think Nomi Health would have been worth a Wikipedia article itself. --Nbauman (talk) 19:43, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

- In Iowa, the health director in Black Hawk County, Dr. Nafissa Cisse Egbuonye, was stunned in April when she found employees working elbow to elbow at a Tyson meatpacking plant — only some of them in masks.
- For weeks, she said, her calls to the governor’s office about closing down the plant went nowhere, as infections rose so steeply that the local hospital was overrun. “We didn’t know where the resistance was occurring, whether it was Tyson or at the state government level,” Dr. Egbuonye said. “It was falling on deaf ears.”
- Gov. Kim Reynolds said at the time that it was essential to keep the nation’s food supply chain up and running. The plant shut down only after the virus had disabled much of its work force — more than a thousand employees were infected, many of them immigrants, and at least five workers died.

POV section tag
An IP just walked by and deleted parts of the COVID section, without explanation. I restored it, but the section on the whole does not appear very neutral to me, and the criticism of the measures she took or did not take isn't really well ascribed--and thus seems to be spoken in Wikipedia's voice. I removed at least one such claim that wasn't verified in the reference. I'm sure someone can tweak this properly. Drmies (talk) 15:09, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
