It was a year ago today that Governor Kim Reynolds announced the first cases of Covid in Iowa, in Johnson County.

Dr. Nicholas Mohr was working in the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics’ intensive care unit the night the first Covid patient was admitted to the hospital. By last night, 860-thousand Iowans have had at least one dose of a Covid vaccine. The speedy development of those vaccines as well as treatment options for new disease is a triumph of science and medicine, according to Mohr.
