An interview with Lisa Heddens (Democrat), candidate for Story County Board of Supervisors.
Mason Zastrow, a junior at Iowa State university, gained local and national attention to the problem of community spread in Story County when he wrote an open letter in August to the administration of Iowa State University. He was calling for the closing of in-person classes and for ISU to share testing resources to the residents of Ames. Zastrow, who is an off-campus senator in the ISU student government, introduced a bill addressing ISU safety and community responsibility. He was quarantined in September due to student infection in his own household and believes he himself was infected, although he tested negative. Zastrow describes his concerns about false-negative testing and describes the pivotal issues discussed through which the a bill was passed by the student government with recommendations for ISU to address community spread.
