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.

Iowans, we can act, and we can get our leaders to do more to stop the spread.
Contact Gov. Reynolds (515-281-5211) and legislators (contact information at legis.iowa.gov) to urge more action to stop the spread.
Let's save lives and have a safer holiday season. (4/4)
