Azar says rising Covid cases in Iowa part of ‘concerning trends’ in Midwest

News

October 15th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar is encouraging Iowans who’ve recovered from Covid to donate their plasma. About 22-hundred Covid patients in Iowa have been treated with convalescent plasma. Azar says the product is available at 43 Iowa hospitals. “American enjoy access to convalescent plasma than patients in any other country,” Azar says.

Azar, who toured a blood center in Des Moines where plasma is being collected, says Iowa is among the states where Covid cases are rising and, as the weather gets colder, he urged residents to avoid the risks of socializing in groups. “That means family gatherings, it means neighborhood get-togethers,” Azar says. “…We are seeing increasing numbers of community spread throughout the Midwest, upper Midwest, northern plains from these types of casual household gatherings.”

A record number of 482 patients are being treated in Iowa hospitals for Covid. Azar says there’s been a 75 percent drop in the mortality rate among patients over the age of 70 since April due to new treatment options. “That’s real progress, but we also have concerning trends as cases rise in a number of places, including here in Iowa,” Azar says. “We should all be taking steps to protect ourselves — to keep ourselves, our families and our communities safe.”

More than 14-hundred new cases of Covid have been confirmed in Iowa through test results in the past day. At least one of five people tested in eight counties in the past two weeks have had the virus. In 10 other counties, between 15 and 20 percent of residents who were tested had Covid. Azar also visited Ames this (Thursday) morning. He met with a man who’s participating in a clinical trial for antibody products that may help prevent or treat Covid-19.

Azar says it’s the trial is for the same antibody cocktail President Trump took. “We want to just express our deep, deep appreciation to any individual who enrolls in a clinical trial because this enables us to establish the data, the evidence, the science that allow us to bring forward the next generation of therapies that can save people,” Azar says. Azar encourages Iowans to donate blood as well, since most traditional blood drives have been suspended during the pandemic.

Chiefs down several offensive pieces with Buffalo on deck

October 15th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs will be without offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele and wide receiver Sammy Watkins when they visit the Buffalo Bills on Monday night for a game that was pushed back because of COVID-19 protocols. Osmele tore tendons in both of his knees and Watkins hurt his hamstring during Sunday’s loss to the Raiders, which also ended the Chiefs’ franchise-record 13-game win streak.

Mike Remmers finished the game at guard and will get the start in Buffalo, coach Andy Reid said Thursday, and Mecole Hardman will take most of the snaps in Watkins’s place.

 

Women’s wrestling, rugby backers join Iowa gender complaint

Sports

October 15th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — University of Iowa students who want to establish intercollegiate women’s wrestling and rugby programs have been added as plaintiffs to a lawsuit seeking more sports opportunities for female Hawkeyes. A lawsuit filed this month by members of the women’s swimming and diving team seeks to stop the university from eliminating their program after this season. They argue that Iowa doesn’t comply with a federal law that requires colleges to offer equal athletics opportunities to male and female students, and seek more roster spots for women.

Plaintiff and freshman, Abbie Lyman, participated in wrestling at high school and had hoped to continue the sport in college.

 

Possible abuse investigated at the Glenwood Resource Center

News

October 15th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials are investigating possible abuse at a troubled state-run institution for people with intellectual disabilities.  Kelly Garcia, director of the Iowa Department of Human Services, said in an interview Thursday that there is a “visible marking” on a resident at the Glenwood Resource Center, which has been rocked by scandals twice in the past four years, the Des Moines Register reports.

She said the injury couldn’t have been inflicted by another resident, because everyone who lives in the person’s house is immobile. Garcia said she asked the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation to help determine what happened.  “We’re still very much sorting through the facts,” she said.

The institution is home to about 190 adults with severe intellectual disabilities, such as autism or seizure disorders. The residents live in ranch-style homes spread around the campus.  Although no staff members had been suspended and no criminal charges had been filed, supervision has been increased, Garcia said.

She said her agency also reported the situation to a state entity that regulates health care facilities and the U.S. Department of Justice, which already is investigating the Glenwood Resource Center over allegations of poor medical care and unethical research into sexual arousal.

CAM and Griswold set for Playoff rematch on KJAN

Sports

October 15th, 2020 by admin

The CAM Cougars (5-0) will host the Griswold Tigers (0-5) for a First Round Playoff game on Friday night, a rematch of their meeting in Week 1 of the regular season. The Cougars won that first meeting back on August 28th handily 60-8 and now a trip to the second round of the postseason is on the line. Both teams have first year head coaches so the first meeting of the season contained a lot of unknowns. CAM Head Coach Barry Bower said it will be a little different this second time around.

The Cougars have played sound defense throughout the season and have a big-play capable offense led by running back Lane Spieker. Spieker had a big night in that first meeting with 2 passing, 2 rushing, and 2 return touchdowns against the Tigers. Griswold Head Coach Chase Wallace said his team will need to play fundamentally sound against the Cougars.

The Tigers have had most of their success on the ground but have been trying to work in more passing to the new system. Coach Bower has been impressed with the backfield and how the Tigers have improved up front.

Despite the lack of success in the win column, Coach Wallace has been impressed by the positive attitude and fight from his team.

You can hear full interviews with both coaches during our pregame for the contest Friday night on KJAN. We’ll start the night with our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m., followed by pregame at 6:30 p.m. and kickoff at 7:00 p.m. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call from Anita on AM 1220, FM 101.1, and online at kjan.com

Weather service winter outlook has equal chance of warm or cold for Iowa

News, Weather

October 15th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The National Weather Service released its annual winter outlook this (Thursday) morning with defined outlooks for either warm and dry or cold and wet conditions going into the winter season. But Climate Prediction Center Deputy Director Mike Halpert says it gets a little bit more complicated when you look at the jetstream and its impact on Iowa.

“The Iowa, Wisconsin area oftentimes falls in between or becomes very uncertain as to whether they become drier as a drier signal as the jetstream shifts further north or becomes wetter as it doesn’t shift quite as far,” he says. “So the forecasts for Iowa are actually in the equal chance category so there’s an equal chance for wet or dry, warm or cold.”

Dave Miscus is a drought expert at the C-P-C. He says our temperatures over the next several months will likely dictate what we expect come spring as far as ongoing drought conditions go even if we do end up in a wetter than normal pattern. He says once the soil freezes in the wintertime the soil doesn’t get into the soil and then we have to wait until spring to get any soil moisture recharge.

Miscus says if the soil freezes soon before any more precipitation, we enter the winter waiting. “Not looking too good for removing that drought in especially western Iowa — which has been lingering for the last six to nine months here. We’ll have to wait and see what the spring brings,” Miscus says.

The outlook released Thursday has higher probabilities or colder and wetter conditions to our north along with drier and warmer conditions to the south, but nothing is definitive at this point, especially not knowing exactly how strong the developing La Nina pattern is going to be.
