An Iowa State University professor has health concerns in his family that leave him wanting to be able to ask students to wear masks during office hours, but the Iowa Board of Regents has held that faculty do not have that ability.
Last week, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a law banning mask mandates by schools and other local government entities, and Regents President Mike Richards lifted the state of emergency for the COVID-19 pandemic that had been in effect for the state s three public universities.
In doing so, Richards added that, Effective immediately, faculty, staff, students, and visitors to campus will not be required to wear a mask or other face covering.
Over the past year, people throughout the state of Iowa have graciously worn their masks, engaged in social distancing, and weathered the storm that is COVID-19. Now, that patience and dedication may finally be paying off: The pandemic might soon be coming to an end. According to the most recent data, new COVID-19 cases across the state have declined to just over 400 per day, down from the November 2020 high of well over 5,000.
Iowa, it would seem, has the coronavirus on the ropes. And that’s a reality we couldn’t have hoped to achieve without America’s biopharmaceutical companies. After all, they provided the crucial difference-maker in the fight against the virus: vaccines.
