Early reports seemed to show little incidence rates of COVID-19 among children, leading health officials to speculate that children were less likely to contract and spread the illness.
However, recent surges in cases around the country have revealed a clearer picture about how COVID-19 impacts children. The most current data shows that now, unlike the early months of the pandemic, there is adequate testing for all individuals, not just those who are older adults or those who are hospitalized.
In a report released by the American Academy of Pediatrics released on July 17, 2020, children represent 8% of all confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Is there a black swallowtail butterfly in your back yard? Could be. These beauties are in season at the moment in Ada. Here's one that wasn't afraid to show off its coat. The Icon photographer went a bit overboard on additional photos in this series as you will soon see.
Ada has a long history of Main Street restaurants. Here's one of those, and we invite Icon viewers to offer additional information.
Here is the inside of the City Restaurant on North Main Street, Ada. The photo is from the collection of the Ada Public Library. We lack a year, owner and address of this one-time Ada eating establishment.
Looks like a small scale on the front counter. Could that be for weighing candy that's in the showcases? The electric light fixtures can probably be dated to the 1920s.
