According to a poster who I am not supposed to tag in threads now, presumably because it hurts his feelings.
This, though, seems a *bit* problematic:
Johnson County loses as many to COVID-19 in 3 weeks as it lost in the pandemic's first two months in Iowa
At 10 a.m. Thursday, Iowa was reporting an additional 649 cases of COVID-19 and 13 additional COVID-19-related deaths — including one from Johnson County, the county's eighth in three weeks — since the state's tally at 10 a.m. Wednesday, according to Coronavirus.Iowa.gov.
State officials report a total of 906 people with COVID-19 have died from the disease across the state, including 16 in Johnson County. Between June and the first part of July, the county had gone more than seven weeks without reporting a death related to the disease. The county saw its first death, Regina High School P.E. teacher and football coach John DeMarco, on April 4.
Hospitalizations related to the virus in southeast Iowa returned to levels not seen since April 26 on Wednesday. As of 10 a.m. Thursday, 61 people were hospitalized with the virus in the state's fifth Regional Medical Coordination Center, which includes Clinton, Des Moines, Henry, Iowa, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Keokuk, Lee, Muscatine, Scott, Van Buren, Wapello and Washington counties, down from 70 Wednesday. The region hit a peak of 88 hospitalized patients on April 22.
