COVID-19 pandemic in Iowa

The COVID-19 pandemic first hit the American Midwest state of Iowa in March 2020. The first known cases were three people who had traveled on a cruise in Egypt. They came home to Johnson County on March 3. Cases were first found at meat packing plants and care facilities. By late October, community spread was a concern in the state.

On March 9, 2020, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a Proclamation of Disaster Emergency.

On April 25, the first testing site was launched in Des Moines under the new initiative _TestIowa.com_.

During a May 6, 2020 meeting with Reynolds, then-President Donald Trump answered to the increased coronavirus testing rate.

## Impact

Iowa's largest industry is manufacturing. Most manufacturing relates to food. That means the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the meat packing industry is highly disruptive in Iowa.

Iowa State University, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa expected losses to go past $76 million, $89 million and $28 million, respectively.

As of June 1, 2021, COVID-19 was responsible for more than 6,000 deaths in Iowa.

They are available commercially, sold in packs.  "Diet" versions are available with less fat and calories.  In 2022 there was a court case about whether some commercial ones  were confectionery. Confectionery in the United Kingdom  is charged 20% value-added tax. Traditional flapjacks are counted as cakes, and so not taxed.

The snack is like the North American granola bar.

In America flapjack is the name for what in the UK is called Pancake.
