Six more Iowans have died from COVID-19, pushing Iowa's total to 1,299 since first death six months ago today.

Deaths were reported in Guthrie, Ida, Linn, Polk (2), and Winneshiek Counties.

The death in Ida is first COVID-19 death reported there.

#IowaMourns
With the death in Ida County, Iowans in 87 of our 99 counties have now died from COVID-19.

Hopefully, we have no more deaths, but it is already the 7th leading cause of death in Iowa for a year, on pace to be number 3 behind heart disease and cancer.

#IowaMourns
On a day when six more Iowans have died from coronavirus, hospitalizations for the disease were also up to 305, including 79 in intensive care units and 37 on ventilators.

There were 56 new admissions to Iowa hospitals for COVID-19 in the last 24-hour reporting period.
Between 10 a.m. Sept. 23 and 10 a.m. Sept. 24, there were 1,341 new cases reported, pushing Iowa's total to 83,347.

Subtracting deaths (1,299) and "recoveries" (61,466), there are 20,582 active cases in Iowa - one out of every 154 Iowans!
The 1,341 new cases were confirmed on 7,558 new reported tests (up from 750,943 to 758,501) - that's a rate of tests reported showing COVID-19 of 17.7%.

. . .
The state is scheduled to report how many Iowa kids under age 18 have now tested positive at 11 am at the "accessibility status page" at its website - as of yesterday, that number was 6,595.

That's already up 2,057 since September 1 (when it was 4,538).

. . .
Due to other commitments, I can't provide county-level data now, but I hope to provide it early this evening.

Two quick notes:

For 8 out of last 9 days, Sioux County (pop. 35,000) had more new cases (58) than Story (34) and Johnson (42).

Dubuque had 142 new cases reported.
More later.

Please mourn the dead, support loved ones and caregivers, and help stop the spread of this deadly infectious disease.
Still don't have time for county data, but Iowa has reported another 172 kids under age 18 have tested positive, pushing total to 6,767.

That's up 2,229 just since Sept. 1, when total stood at 4,538.

If this keeps up through April, over 20,000 more kids will test positive! Image
Here's a thread with today's county-by-county data. Later tonight, I'm planning a report on week (Sept. 17-24) with cases, cases per capita, and rate of tests reported showing COVID-19.

Clearly, Gov. Reynolds and Iowans need to do more to stop spread.

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)

For the week, Iowa reported:

100 more coronavirus 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. 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.

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)
