[erinmd32]

Although many cases in Cedar Rapids are due to the long term care center Quaker Oats also had an several. A Mercy Hospital doctor this week said the majority of people on a vent were under 65.

Was the Iowa thread in a time out?

77 new cases (although note that this is not a 24 hour total because they are switching reporting methods, so I wouldn't assume the cases are really down.

7 new deaths.

The Linn County care facility outbreak is a staggering percentage of Iowa's deaths. Pretty sad situation.

Yeah and it will only get worse it seems.

Was there any advance notice the state was going to change its reporting methods? Anyone know the reasoning? Just seems odd that the state chose Easter Sunday, with no press conference, to implement a change.

Edited to remove potential political content.

Don’t know why but it’s the beginning of the week. Seems like a reasonable time to make the change.

Do you think it is reasonable to ask the the past fourteen days data conform to the new system if that data is important for the decision-making matrix?

 

[Al_4_State]

Yeah and it will only get worse it seems.

I’m just really grateful I don’t currently have any family members in a care facility. My wife’s grandpa is 93 and still lives at home, and my grandparents are in their mid 80’s and still living at home

It all evens out after a couple days. Pretty irrelevant. So far deaths and cases are way down nationally also.

I don't know if I'd call it way down.

Plateauing at high numbers which is more potentially positive than continued spiking.

Right now the numbers are 70% of yesterday or the day before.

I'd imagine that gap decreases as the night closes out.

There was a drop nationally 4/10-4/11 so that's good.

Are deaths MN residents. Mayo may be influencing the stats.

I doubt that. I don't think Carona is the type of thing that would cause people to travel to Mayo from out of state.

 

[Al_4_State]

I believe cases and deaths are ascribed to the county/state of residence. I'm pretty sure the case in my county tested at Mayo.

Changing how they report the data to the public doesn't mean they are changing how they are analyzing the data for decision making purposes.

FYI you were closeish on the national scale. Not 70% but down about 300 deaths and 2500 cases from yesterday.

I had it up a few minutes ago and then I think it 'closed' at 8 PM CST...must be the daily time frame they use.
