More media sensationalism. More testing, more positive results.
Positivity rates are more important than the # of new cases. Positivity rates are high, knucklehead.
Gee whiz. The more tests you do the more positive results you see. Again, how accurate are the tests? The CDC, one of the primary government health departments, does not rate them very highly.
Exactly, and covid ICU, thry pay more if called covid so yes the percentage is higher, who knows if it’s truly covid.
Deaths are way down. IBJ is full of fools
We could also declare victory over kids being unable to read if we stopped testing theIr reading skills, right?
Deaths trail infections by several weeks. If you don’t know how COVID works by this point, or you think COVID is a sham, get better news sources.
You neglected to say that those cases are from between July 29 to August 5, not all from just one day (ISDH Website). Granted, they all add to the total # of cases, but were reported over a 7-day period. Would be interesting to know what the delay was in having these cases reported.
Sue, did you see the large bold print at the same bottom of the article?. Apparently not…
ISDH reports the numbers given.to them by each county in Indiana. The article states that the numbers reported today are from the previous 24 hours. I’m starting to wonder if you just read the headline before commenting.
William J., did you notice the notation in Sue B.’s post? (apparently not…) The total being reported is over the last 8 days, as reported on the ISDH Website. I have copied/pasted here for your convenience: “New Positive Cases: 1,051 between 07/29/2020 and 08/05/2020” Here is the address if you would like to check it out: https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/2393.htm. There are lags in reporting, always have been, whether it is a whole county, or some nursing homes, there is no such all inclusive statement that “the numbers reported are from the previous 24 hours”, even though that’s what the IBJ states/has in their boiler plate article. Some days there are no lags, some days there are 8 day lags. If you are going to make snarky comments at people, you might want to at least be somewhat correct.
Indiana intensive care unit usage
Available ICU beds: 30.3%
ICU beds in use by COVID-19 patients: 13.1%
Available ventilators: 73.9%
Ventilators in use for COVID-19: 2.7%
The curve is flat and the narrative has changed!
You don’t understand what “the curve is. From the article:
The Indiana State Department of Health on Thursday reported 1,051 new COVID-19 cases, an all-time daily high.
*An all-time daily high*
These cases are from an 8 day report. This is not “1,051 people contracted COVID 19 in the past 24 hours”.
These statistics have lost all credibility. There is no standard for how new cases are reported and what constitutes a COVID death. Many states will count a death as a COVID death regardless of what the person actually died from, so long as that person had COVID within the past 14 days. NY, CA, NJ and IL are three of these states and represent 42% of all COVID deaths in the country. Further, Seasonal Flu and Pneumonia deaths are being counted as COVID deaths. Why is it that deaths from Seasonal Flu and Pneumonia have mysteriously dropped significantly this year? Obviously there are people that are at high risk and nobody wants to see people die. An average healthy person has less that a .05% chance of dying from this virus, show me any other situation where there is concern about a .05% chance of something happening, it doesn’t exist, only in the upside down, highly politicized World of COVID-19 does that exist. The shutdowns and overreaction to this virus by our Federal, State and Local leaders will cause much more harm to the well being of this country than the Coronavirus ever will. We have been severely let down by the CDC and all of those that created this mass hysteria over a virus that has virtually a 0% chance of killing an average healthy person. We need to stop the hysteria, protect those that are most vulnerable and go about out normal lives. Enough is enough!
May 12th: “Hong Kong’s hospital authority has been monitoring a group of Covid-19 patients for up to two months since they were released. They found about half of the 20 survivors had lung function below the normal range, said Owen Tsang, the medical director of the infectious disease center at Princess Margaret Hospital.
The diffusing capacity of their lungs — how well oxygen and carbon dioxide transfers between the lungs and blood — remained below healthy levels, Tsang observed.
A study of blood samples from 25 recovered patients in Wuhan, the city where the virus first emerged, found that they had not fully recovered normal functioning regardless of the severity of their coronavirus symptoms, according to a paper published April 7.
In another study, CT scans taken over a month of 90 Wuhan coronavirus patients found that of the 70 discharged from the hospital, 66 had mild to substantial residual lung abnormalities on their last CT scans, which showed ground-glass opacity, said a March paper published online in Radiology.”
July 30th: “New evidence suggests the coronavirus has lasting impacts on the heart, raising alarm for cardiologists who have been concerned about potential long-term heart injury from COVID-19.
Two German studies, published Tuesday in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA Cardiology, found heart abnormalities in COVID-19 patients months after they had already recovered from the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2.
The first study included 100 patients from the University of Hospital Frankfurt COVID-19 Registry who were relatively healthy adults in their 40s and 50s. About one-third of the patients required hospitalization, while the rest recovered from home.
Researchers looked at cardiac magnetic resonance imaging taken nearly two and a half months after they were diagnosed and compared them with images from people who never had COVID-19. The study found heart abnormalities in 78 patients, with 60 of those patients showing signs of inflammation in the heart muscle from the virus.”
We reported 4,400 more tests today than yesterday. Our percent positive actually dropped to 8.67% for today’s numbers.
Here is a spreadsheet collecting the ISDH data over time.

Once Biden wins the election, somehow these COVID numbers will magically go down.
Sure… remember when Trump said “Vote for me, what do you have to lose?”
He’s given us quite the answer, hasn’t he?
