Covidiot Chronicles: Story County, home to Iowa State University, is a coronavirus hot spot




In Story County, Iowa, home to Iowa State and one of the country's hottest outbreaks, a rise in cases among people 45 years and older shows the hotspot is spreading from campus, said Dr. John Paschen, the chair of the county’s health board.
“What I'm really afraid of is we're going to have another episode where it gets into a nursing home and a lot of people die," Paschen said.

College administrators fail the test of transparency with weekly updates of on-campus testing.  Iowa State gets an 'F'.

Apparently, Iowa counties are restricted from providing any statistical information about COVID-19.
