This week’s White House Coronavirus Task Force report on Iowa concludes nearly all of Iowa’s counties have moderate to high transmission of Covid.

Last night, the state set another record for hospitalizations, with 605 Covid patients reported in Iowa hospitals. Eli Perencevich  is a professor of internal medicine and epidemiology at the University of Iowa. He says one major side effect of the numbers is that health care workers are burning out.

This morning there are outbreaks at 74 Iowa nursing homes according to the state’s website.. At 10 p.m., the website indicated 21-hundred-69 nursing home residents had the virus, 91 more confirmed cases than had been listed at noon yesterday.
