In addition to the 27 deaths, Iowa is reporting hospitalizations are up to 1,135 - the highest yet - including 196 in intensive care (up 12) and 89 on ventilators (up 7).

There were 166 new admissions to Iowa hospitals for COVID-19 in the last 24-hour reporting period.

"Outbreaks" under the narrow definition of the Reynolds Administration at long-term care facilities are up to 102 - the highest yet.

900 residents of long-term care facilities have already died from coronavirus.

Between 10 am Nov. 9 and 10 am Nov. 10, Iowa reported 4,441 new confirmed cases of coronavirus, pushing total to 161,257.

That's 25,210 new coronavirus cases in just the last 6 days.

Iowans, this is a full-fledged public health emergency!

Subtracting deaths (1,872) and "recoveries" (102,914) from total cases (161,257), there are now 56,471 active cases of coronavirus in Iowa.

That's the highest yet - one out of every 56 Iowans!

As recently as October 7, there were under 20,000 active cases in Iowa (19,691).

The 4,441 new cases were confirmed on 8,893 new reported tests (1,040,914 up to 1,049,807). Dividing new cases by reported tests equals 49.9%.

The state's "positive case analysis" shows 2,782 new cases on 9,535 tests for rate of 29.2%.

Even without missing cases, way too high!

There are 77 counties where Gov. Reynolds loosened Iowa's limited coronavirus restrictions May 1, without an alternative safety plan.

Today, they had 1,894 new cases (total 67,396) and 15 more deaths (total 739).

On April 30, they had 559 total cases and 11 total deaths.
