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.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar

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

Sports

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.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins, center, celebrates with teammates Demarcus Robinson, left, and Tyreek Hill, right, after catching an 8-yard touchdown pass during the first half of an NFL football game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Sunday, Oct. 11, 2020, in Kansas City.

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.
