5. U of Iowa students a TON of that

They cameback early, crowded into bars without masks and Johnson county is lighting up like a Christmas tree.

Iowa City Schools actually got Governor Kimmy to OK all online schools since the positivity rate in the county was over 20%.

And it will get worse...actually saw on Facebook that one parent was upset because "Elementary kids don't interact with the college students."

Seriously, this parent does not have enough scientific or medical literacy to understand community spread. People tried to explain to this woman that -- grocery workers do, restaurant workers do, doctors and nurses do,etc. and they might interact with you or your child putting you at risk.

Seriously...it is going to get a lot worse. Every state that had someone in leadership who was willing to be associated with the RNC convention and hate fest is going to see exploding cases between now and January when the grown ups can take over and try to fix this mess.
