Six months of coronavirus deaths in Iowa:

Thru March 23: 0 deaths
Mar. 23-Apr. 23: 96 deaths
Apr. 23-May 23: 348 deaths
May 23-June 23: 244 deaths
June 23-July 23: 127 deaths
July 23-Aug. 23: 219 deaths
Aug. 23-Sept. 23: 259 deaths

This is going in the wrong direction!
In addition to the eight additional COVID-19 deaths reported today in Iowa, the state says hospitalizations were up by 16 to 301, including 77 in intensive care and 37 on ventilators.

There were 59 new admissions to Iowa hospitals for COVID-19 in last 24-hour reporting period.
Between 10 a.m. Sept. 22 and 10 a.m. Sept. 23, there were 856 new cases reported, pushing Iowa's total to 82,006.

Subtracting deaths (1,293) and "recoveries" (60,296), there are 20,417 active cases in Iowa - one out of every 155 Iowans!
The 856 new cases were confirmed on 6,080 new reported tests (up from 744,863 to 750,943) - that's a rate of tests reported showing COVID-19 of 14.1%.

Of the new cases, 90 were kids under age 18 who tested positive for coronavirus, pushing total for Iowa kids' cases to 6,595.
The number of Iowa kids under age 18 who have tested positive for coronavirus is up 2,057 since Sept. 1 (when it was 4,538).

It's up 815 in the last week (from 5,780 to 6,595).

We must do more to protect kids, families, staff, and the public from the spread of coronavirus.
The 77 counties where Gov. Reynolds first loosened Iowa's limited restrictions May 1, without an alternative safety plan, were up 394 new cases for total of 31,366.

They had 5 more deaths reported for total of 428.

On April 30, they had 559 total cases and 11 total deaths.
After a couple days in second, Sioux County again had the most new cases in the 77 counties.

That's now 7 out of 8 days with more new cases than Story and Johnson Counties.

New cases reported today:
Sioux (pop. 35,000): 55
Story (pop. 97,000): 26
Johnson (pop. 147,000): 17
Here are the county-by-county new cases, total cases, new tests reported, comparing the state’s spreadsheet on Sept. 22 at 10 a.m. with the spreadsheet on Sept. 23 at 10 a.m., with a percentage that shows new cases divided by new tests reported:

Not very good. DOC reports 2 more inmates and 4 more staff test positive, only one more "recovery."
With 8 more deaths, hospitalizations up to 301, and 856 confirmed new cases including 90 new cases for Iowa kids under age 18, it remains clear we must do more to slow down and stop the spread.

Gov. Reynolds says it's a public health emergency. Why won't she do more?

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)
