the battle against Covert. 19 continues.
17 States Seen Uptick in Corona virus
Cases One of those states, Iowa The
mayor of Iowa City blames a surge on
college students returning for class.
We just had a lot of students come back
to town, so we had about 30 students,
30,000 students within the last 33
weeks of a White House Corona Virus
Task Force report shows. Iowa has the
largest case positivity rate in the
country, up 77% from last week. We have
a 30% positivity rate just within a 24
hour period, and so we have some major
concerns that we must address. And
while the virus continues to wreak
havoc, Dr Anthony Fauci, a stress, is
concerned for another potential surge
after the Labor Day holiday and calls
for a full court press on Cove in 19
ahead of flu season. When you have a
holiday like Labor Day, we have seen
after the Fourth of July, we saw after
Memorial Day a surge in cases, but I
would really like to see is kind of a
full court press to get us way down as
a baseline so that when you get these
cases in the full, they won't surge up
this as trials for a vaccine continue.
I believe that by the time we get to
the end of this county year that we
will feel comfortable that we do have a
safe and effective vaccine. I'm Darryl
