He commented on Twitter,Srinivas, the infectious disease doctor in Fort Dodge, told me she was “very concerned” about Reynolds’ reopening plan.We do not have sufficient data nor is adequate testing being done to generate the data needed to safely re-open at this time. Heartland virus was first discovered in Missouri in 2009 and since then, cases have spread across the Midwest, according to IDPH. Make no mistake, IDPH and Governor have made a tragic error. And it’s again an example of a place where I think public health in general remains flexible as we get more information, and more of these tools and resources, and we’re going to continue to adjust, just like we would with the flu season or any other illness that public health professionals work to protect Iowans against.The stakes are a lot higher here than when the IDPH adjusts during a regular flu season.In the context of learning to live with the coronavirus, Reynolds “strongly” encouraged “all vulnerable Iowans,” including those with pre-existing conditions or over age 65, “to continue to limit their activities outside of their homes.” She asked all Iowans to “stay home if you’re sick.”Erin Murphy of Lee Newspapers wanted to know, isn’t there a risk that asymptomatic people could spread COVID-19 from counties with many cases to those where more businesses are open? Officials with the Iowa Department of Public Health have announced the first case of the season of West Nile virus and the first-ever reported case of the Heartland virus… For example, DEET should not be used on infants less than 2 months old and oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under 3 years old.- Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.- Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, shoes, and socks whenever possible outdoors.- Eliminate standing water around the home because that's where mosquitoes lay eggs. And that curve appears to be looking fairly flat at this particular point in time. This puts everyone at higher risk for COVID infection. “We’re learning more all the time,” and “as we’re able to do additional testing and the case investigation and contact tracing,” IDPH will be able to respond rapidly to a cluster of COVID-19 infections and “hopefully get in front of it, and not see a huge spike in the numbers.” That’s a good goal, but we weren’t able to stop big outbreaks in Woodbury, Black Hawk, and Polk counties. Re-opening prior to peaking only drives our curve higher and endangers more lives.

They’re most common in early spring through late fall, People with the Heartland virus may feel fatigued, nauseous, feverish or experience diarrhea, according to IDPH. Stating that western Iowa is safe from the virus in the midst of this recent spate of cases is very concerning.WHO-TV’s Dave Price wondered, what if people leave the closed areas to go out to eat or shop in a different county, and accidentally spread the virus. So thank you, I appreciate that.Two weeks from April 17 happens to be May 1. […]Here is the epi curve with data through April 17, the day the governor urged Iowans to “just hang with us for two more weeks.”Indeed, now that we’ve filled in ten more days of data, you can see that Iowa cases, as measured by symptoms onset, increased sharply after April 10. Speaking of congregate settings, every Iowa county has at least one nursing home. She often puts COVID-19 in the context of other respiratory illnesses, which may be a way to burn time, or may be a tactic to convey that she is on top of this situation.Which again, as we understand more about this virus–and we still have more to learn–but what we do know, again, is that this is spread from one person to the next when they’re in close contact with each other, which is similar to what we’ve seen from other types of respiratory pathogens.

This is a screen shot; you can find the interactive version Look how many of those blue dots are in the gray counties, where Reynolds is lifting some of the COVID-19 mitigation measures.In per capita terms, Tama and Louisa counties are experiencing huge coronavirus outbreaks that started in meatpacking facilities. It shows the date they reported they started feeling sick. The IDPH team led by Dr. Pedati developed a State officials signed a contract with the University of Iowa’s College of Public Health on April 7, Ryan Foley The contract calls for a model that will predict the number, severity and timing of future infections, hospitalizations and deaths. Most recently, she has covered retail business and followed both national and local trends to provide insight about the issues that matter the most to Iowans. Regular church-goers are more likely to be in age cohorts at elevated risk of dying from COVID-19.The timing of Reynolds’ latest proclamation is a head-scratcher. How would they ever get to the point of being tested for COVID-19, let alone case investigation or contact tracing? We integrate that with what we know about who’s at highest risk. The Iowa Department of Public Health announced today that it has received the first reported case of neuroinvasive West Nile Virus this season.
