I wonder if this will get Marion county to finally alllow bars, restaurants to finally open properly…
Good to hear, but the mask mandate is total crap.
Dilly! Dilly!
Duh! From Channel 8 story: “The seven-day positivity rate in Indiana has dropped from 6.4% when the state’s mask mandate began July 27 to 3.9% on Sept. 16, Box said.”
Can’t eat or drink with a mask, js
Now, now. Don’t be a Karen, Kevin.
Just had a restaurant owner next to me while watching the update say, “ great, but how do I open to 100% capacity inside and out but maintain 6 feet apart? No restaurant and bar can physically do that!”
Great work politicians we pay with our tax money!
Can we call this Stage 4.7 instead?
No, he won’t be able to jam people on top of another, as in pre-COVID days. Though, as I referenced in another story earlier, my observations on Mass Avenue a few weeks ago suggest people haven’t let that stop them. I try to remember I’m a Christian, and should not wish ill on others. On the other hand, perhaps an epidemic of cases arising from Mass Avenue and Indy area bars, similar to what has happened on the campuses, would lead to sufficient levels of cleansing of the gene pool that we wouldn’t have to worry about this so much going forward, when the virus comes back next year having mutated and avoided the vaccines…
I know, maybe he can charge more for his drinks and food, to offset only being at 75% capacity. A COVID premium his customers will no doubt willingly pay for the opportunity to come into his bar and risk death or long term serious physical impairment. Health bills which I, as a purchaser of health insurance, will undoubtedly see reflected in my premiums as those exposed and ill will no doubt be part of the population which refuses to purchase health insurance because, hey, someone else can pay my bill, I’ll just get treated and skip out on the bills.
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maximus culpa. On my knees, starting on my Hail Marys and Our Fathers…
Tim Tim Tim – a – roo!
You sound like a great “Christian”… wishing death upon people you deem to be not in compliance of your arbitrary parameters. I’d suggest you run for office as a liberal career politicians…
In the meantime, those hellfire college kids will be just like those before (including me) but remember 99.9% of them will survive the election infection.
Pssst. I work in healthcare – and the data peddled here and to the public is biased and bogus. Sorry to get you up to speed!
Tim S then you should remember that you are not in control, God is!
The masks have done nothing. New cases went up, but hospitalizations and deaths stayed the same. Bag the masks and lift all restrictions. Let Indiana work again.
Hey Scott C., Duh! From Channel 8 story: “The seven-day positivity rate in Indiana has dropped from 6.4% when the state’s mask mandate began July 27 to 3.9% on Sept. 16, Box said.”
You obviously have had no one affected by Covid or you wouldn’t be stupid enough to say this.
Anthony S wants to sound smart but doesn’t know the difference between correlation and cause 🙂 LOL. If you want to explore something of statistical significance instead of looking uneducated as you try to insult people, dig into infection rates in areas with aggressive mask mandates, moderate mask rates and zero mask mandates (Sweden, etc.) You’ll quickly find the rates are nearly identical – except for Sweden which is now much lower in infection rate than it’s European peers. Hummm?
Maybe someone can explain why the positivity rate is meaningful. Seems to me, the more tests you conduct and we are conducting 50% more tests than just two months ago, the lower the positivity rate will be since most positive cases are people who suspect they already have Covid. Again, focus on the metrics which matter the most, hospitalizations and deaths.
It is sad anyone died from Covid or anything else. It is also sad to see so many lives affected by businesses going bankrupt.
Joe will follow the Democrat lead shut down, but still talk up coming downtown ? Such a looser.
Dear Doug. Maybe before you call others a “LOSER”, you should learn to spell first…
Holcomb is putting the state at risk.
Yes, he is. On public health, listen to the physicians and scientists and not the Trump sycophants.
Put a fork in downtown with wfh + still boarded up across from the Statehouse?!?
Does this make us the only state (with perhaps the exception of Vermont) at stage 5? Lord, help us.
You know, I don’t know how all this will turn out but I say be smart, wash your hands and live life! Don’t be afraid, be smart. Live is worth living!
Vermont is averaging less than 25 new cases per day in entire state and has a positivity rate of 0.33%. It seems like they would be justified to be reopened. But, they also still require masks if physical distancing less than 6′ isn’t possible. Good to see that state and its people following basic pandemic science.
I can understand Vermont moving to stage 5 but not Indiana. Horrible and ill-formed decision but he IS up for re-election in November. .
Jennifer if you are afraid of dyeing you are already dead. If you afraid of getting a virus then get a bubble.
Open all up and protect those most vulnerable..Give us real data on deaths from Covid and not withCovid..World is not sterile now and never will be

As long as they don’t put you on a ventilator and put you into a medically induced coma, you will be just fine.
Due to legacy death laundering, state Heath officials can call you a Covid fatality if you die of other causes within 60 days of a positive C-19 test….this will never end.

Wear your mask. It’s the only thing that’s going to save lives for the foreseeable future. Read a book, for crying out loud.
Eric Holcomb lost the 2020 race for Governor with his mask mandate extension. Go to the site “Republicans Against Holcomb” 10,000 hits yesterday all against Eric the Idiot. He is going to lose the Governors race over forcing people to wear masks.
