(Radio Iowa) — Black Hawk County officials say more than a thousand employees at the Tyson plant in Waterloo have tested positive for the coronavirus. That’s more than double the number released by state officials earlier this week. Joshua Pikora with the county public health department says the state-related total of 444 employees only included testing that was done onsite at the plant.
“The 1031 reported cases includes those positive results from the onsite testing, positive test results from local healthcare providers here in Black Hawk County, as well as the positive serology tests that give us the complete picture of scope of illness in our county,” he says. Pikora says those cases do not include family members or roommates who may also have tested positive.
As of Thursday, the county had 1703 confirmed cases. Tyson’s pork plant in Waterloo resumed limited operations at the plant yesterday (Thursday). More than 28-hundred usually work in the facility.
(Radio Iowa) — There’s confusion about whether the state’s medical director will be a member of the federal coronavirus task force. On Wednesday, Dr. Caitlin Pedati went to D.C. with the governor for meetings in the White House. Trump complimented Pedati, saying he’d love for her to be on the task force. On Thursday, Governor Reynolds mentioned it.
“I think Iowans should be proud,” Reynolds says. “I certainly am.” Bloomberg News is reporting, however, that Pedati will be appointed to a subcommittee of sorts, but not the actual task force. President Trump mused about disbanding the task force, but has decided to keep it.
Vice President Mike Pence, who has been leading the group, is scheduled to visit Iowa today (Friday). Pence will host a roundtable discussion about the security of the U.S. food supply early this (Friday) afternoon. The meeting will be held at Hy-Vee headquarters.
(Radio Iowa) — An iconic western Iowa restaurant is closing for good. Cronk’s Cafe in Denison opened in 1929. Eric and Terri Skoog have owned the restaurant since 1984. Presidential candidates from both political parties have campaigned in the cafe. “I think we’ve done just about everything you possibly could,” Eric Skoog says. “We’ve had weddings and funerals and birthday parties for young and old.” Skoog says he and his wife wrestled with the decision to close.
“It’s been in the back of our minds,” Skoog says. “We were trying to figure out what the exit strategy was going to be and that was even a year or two ago.” The restaurant has had a string of owners over the past eight decades. Skoog, who bought the restaurant from his father, says it’ll be a rough patch for restaurant owners in the near term, until the pandemic subsides. He is still hoping to find a new buyer.
“I really hope the Cronk’s name stays,” Skoog says. “I mean, I wasn’t a Cronk. We inherited that.” The cafe sits along Highway 30, what used to be called The Lincoln Highway. Skoog says back in the day when Cronk’s was open at all hours the Sons of the Pioneers and other bands would stop to eat in the middle of the night as they traveled from show to show.
