Ten more Iowans have died from COVID-19, pushing Iowa's total to 1,377 since first death on March 24.

That's up 19 over two days in October.

Deaths were reported in Delaware, Dickinson, Dubuque, Johnson, Plymouth, Polk (4) and Pottawattamie Counties.

#IowaMourns
In addition to the 10 deaths, Iowa reports hospitalizations for COVID-19 are back up to 402, including 100 in intensive care and 38 on ventilators.

There were 58 new admissions to Iowa hospitals in the last 24-hour reporting period.

Wrong direction!
Between 10 am Oct. 2 and 10 am Oct. 3, there were 1,107 new confirmed cases of COVID-19, pushing Iowa's total to 91,861.

That's the 4th day in a row over 1,000 new confirmed cases.

Wrong direction!
The 1,107 new cases were confirmed on 6,159 reported tests (up from 810,551 to 816,710). Dividing new cases by reported tests is 18.0%.

Subtracting deaths (1,377) and "recoveries" (71,301), there are 18,967 active cases of coronavirus in Iowa - one out of every 165 Iowans!
Because of other commitments, I am not able to provide the county-by-county data until later today.

Please mourn the dead, support loved ones and caregivers, and help stop the spread of this deadly infectious disease.

This is a public health emergency. Please act like it.

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)
