Looks like Kansas City is a new Covid-19 hot spot and Iowa has the highest per capita cases in the region per the Guardian.
Earlier this week, the White House coronavirus task force named Kansas City as a primary area of concern.
And what about Iowa Gov Covid Kim Reynolds progress... well you guessed it... she must not be very good at math...
The University of Washingtons Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation has warned that the refusal of Iowas governor, Kim Reynolds, to require masks in public spaces will cost 700 additional lives over the next three months. It predicted the number of coronavirus deaths at about 13 a day in Iowa by the end of October with the present policy compared to fewer than two if 95% of people used face coverings.
Iowa has the highest per capita number of Covid-19 infections in the region.
Reynolds has declined to make masks mandatory because she said they are not a silver bullet and she trusts people to do the right thing. But research shows that only about one-third of Iowans are using masks in accordance with federal advice.

than CoVid-19...Never mind the article (sort of); just see the pic at the site. I realize it's an old story from 2011 and many bans in other countries while so much continuing American litigation hasn't changed a thing! See additional "images" on bio-suited up farm workers applying it to crops. Now go eat your Frankinfoods!
