Iowa COVID-19 Tracker -- County vaccination rates

[progressoid]

Lots of info here from Sara Anne Willette. She has been tracking this from the beginning (and pissing off Kovid Kim in the process).


Anywho, I found this page interesting. It lists the vaccination rates for all 99 counties as well as data for age groups, race, etc.

Vaccination rates:

Davis County - 29.02%
Lyon County - 29.39%

Linn County - 52.82%
Johnson County - 58.41%

1. Kim Reynolds along with Kristi Noem over in South Dakota

are the absolute dumbest and irresponsible governors. Their decision making during the pandemic has been criminal.

2. I wold also note that Iowa quit reporting Covid numbers daily

and now only reports on Wednesday for the previous day.

Reynolds has done so many things to obfuscate numbers, to flat out lie and most certainly to make businesses escape with no liability no matter what they did.

I agree that what she has done and is doing is criminal. Somebody needs to charge her.

3. Yep.

I know that the deaths are under reported for many senior living centers.

And yet, I know people refuse to acknowledge anything happened.

It's beyond frustrating.

5. Are they reporting the numbers for the whole week or

just Tuesday once a week? What is wrong with that...never mind, Republican.

6. from what I can see they just report Tuesday's numbers on Wednesday

I have never seen any story on this or heard any reason why the sudden change although I can sure understand what she is doing.

4. Benton 45.78%

Actually, given the people I've talked to in recent weeks, I'm surprised it is that high.

FFS, seems like no one is vaccinated here. I'm betting it is at less than 25% for my town.

Glad my family is all vaccinated, because I suspect the school year is going to be awful.

7. I suspect my parents small town is very low too.

Their area is rural and red. I was there over the 4th of July holiday and I heard a lot of insane excuses for not getting the shot.
My Dad (retired science teacher) is so frustrated with the apathy and ignorance with this.

8. There is a woman I've known since the 7th grade

we have been friends for a long time (graduated in 84).

Now, I'm ducking her calls, because I just can't with her anymore. She voted for that orange thing and recently, she called and was really "concerned" that my family is vaccinated. She isn't, none of her kids are, they won't be. Ever.

Yet, they got all the usual vaccines over the years, but this one...

I'm at the point of saying, "fine then die already" to the anti-vaxxers.
