COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) - Dr. David Quimby with CHI Health says the Delta strain is growing exponentially in the Hawkeye State. What we have found is when the states are doing their analysis on the variant testing afterward, is that our Delta proportion is increasing over time, Quimby said.
Dr. Jeffrey Sartin, a physician with Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital, says this epidemic is only over for the people who have been vaccinated. For those who haven t gotten it, there s still significant risk.
OMAHA, Nebraska (Daily Nonpareil) They call themselves the Reruns.
A group of 26 retired CHI Health Mercy Council Bluffs employees, 24 of them former nurses, have teamed up to help the hospital vaccinate staff.
“It’s hard to be retired and sit at home, watching all the people suffering,” said retired nurse Dixie Kavars. “You just want to do something. And you know you’re capable. We call ourselves the Reruns.”
Kavars spearheaded the effort, with the help of former colleague Mary Shaughnessy-Swisher. The group formed in December.
On Tuesday, they assisted as Mercy completed a round of second doses of the Moderna vaccine. The Reruns don’t give the shots, but provided support in all other facets of the day’s clinic checking staff in, monitoring for side effects while also making sure the vaccinated stayed in the room for 15 minutes after receiving a shot and sanitizing surfaces.
