Twelve more Iowans have died from COVID-19, pushing Iowa's total to 1,233 since first death on March 24.

On a day when 12 more Iowans have died from COVID-19, hospitalizations were up by 12 to 284, including 74 in intensive care units.

There were 36 new admissions to Iowa hospitals in the last 24-hour reporting period.

This is going in the wrong direction!
Between Sept. 14 at 10 am and Sept. 15 at 10 am, there were 508 new cases of COVID-19 reported, pushing Iowa's total to 75,275.

Subtracting deaths (1,233) and "recoveries" (54,257), there are now 19,785 active cases - the third highest number yet - one out of every 160 Iowans!
The 508 new cases were confirmed on 3,504 new tests reported (from 703,682 to 707,186), for a rate showing COVID-19 of 14.5%.

The state is scheduled to update the number of Iowa kids under age 18 who have tested positive for coronavirus at 11 am. That number stands at 5,607.
The 77 counties where Gov. Reynolds first loosened Iowa's limited restrictions May 1, without an alternative safety plan, were up 235 new cases for total of 28,178.

They had 5 more deaths reported for total of 404.

Some less bad than others. Now for DOC update . . .
Iowa Dep't of Corrections reports that (Sept. 11 to Sept. 14) 5 more inmates and 1 more staff person tested positive for coronavirus.

That brings totals to 834 (inmates) and 128 (staff).

DOC also reports "active" cases down to 31 for inmates and 18 for staff.

Still too many!
Let me know if you would like data about a specific county or region, or if you would like to see any of the underlying spreadsheets I download everyday at 10 a.m. from the state's website.

Hold the presses! The state did update website, and is showing that 57 more Iowa kids under age 18 have tested positive for coronavirus, pushing total to 5,664.

That's up 1,126 since Sept. 1.

Averaging over 80 per day.

BREAKING: Over 4,900 kids in Iowa have now contracted coronavirus since January 29, the date when Gov. Reynolds signed Senate File 160 to force schools to offer 100% in-person without providing safety precautions.

(1/4)
Today, on limited testing, Iowa reported 44 new child cases, for a total of 4,916 since Jan. 29.

The 44 new child cases were out of 317 total new cases.

There were only 1,790 new people tested and only 5,818 total tests reported today.

(2/4)
Child cases are a danger to the kids themselves, now and in the future, as well as families, staff, and the public.

Data source:
"Accessibility status page" at coronavirus.iowa.gov.

Jan. 29: 34,574 "child cases"
Mar. 21: 39,490 "child cases" (shown below)

Here are the weekly coronavirus case and death data for Iowa, both statewide and by county, for the week of February 14-21, 2021.

For the week, Iowa reported:

100 more coronavirus deaths
286 new hospital admissions
3,475 new confirmed cases

Less bad, but still too high!
The 100 deaths reported this week (Feb. 14-21) in Iowa were lowest number of deaths reported for a Sunday-to-Sunday week since Oct. 25-Nov. 1 (82 deaths).

At 14.3 deaths per day, it's still 3rd leading cause of death behind heart disease (19.7 per day) & cancer (17.7 per day).
New hospital admissions for coronavirus in Iowa totaled 286 for second week in a row:

Feb. 15: 35
Feb. 16: 40
Feb. 17: 44
Feb. 18: 52
Feb. 19: 43
Feb. 20: 34
Feb. 21: 38

Still too many being hospitalized by coronavirus, but down from the 370 admissions from Jan. 31-Feb. 7.

Dec. 6, 2020 (2nd Sunday Advent)

Iowa reports 17 more coronavirus deaths and 1,869 new coronavirus cases.

The 17 deaths are the second highest reported on a Sunday, and the 307 deaths reported since last Sunday (Nov. 29-Dec. 6) are highest for a 7-day period yet.

#IowaMourns
The 17 coronavirus deaths reported in Iowa today were in Black Hawk (3), Bremer, Butler, Floyd, Johnson, Keokuk, Linn, Marion, Polk, Pottawattamie (5), and Webster Counties.

All across Iowa.

Please speak up with Gov. Reynolds and legislators to do more to slow the spread of coronavirus and save lives.

Since the Republican majority adjourned the Iowa Legislature on June 14, over 2,000 Iowans have now died from this infectious disease (2,682 total now vs. 651 then).

Iowa Senate Republican Leader Jack Whitver writes: "it is impossible to legislate away the pandemic."

What a defeatist! With that attitude, no wonder over 2,000 Iowans have now died from coronavirus since the Republican majority adjourned June 14. (1/4)

thegazette.com/subject/opinio…
Good public policy and leadership can stop or reduce the spread and save lives.

New Zealand has 5 coronavirus deaths per million people. Norway (like Iowa, not an island) has 65 deaths per million. In Iowa, it's 850 per million, more than 1 out of every 1,200 Iowans! (2/4)
Our neighbor to the north, Minnesota, which has higher population density, has fewer deaths than Iowa per million people. Minnesota has 706 deaths per million.

If Iowa had Minnesota's fatality rate, we would have 446 more Iowans alive today. (3/4)
