9 thoughts on “Indiana reports new records in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations

  1. I posted this yesterday, and I will keep posting this as long we have an incompetent government which does not want to keep its citizens safe!!!!!
    New record numbers every day!!!! How many citizens are we going let get sick, and how many are we going let die? It really is as simple as that.
    However, let me try to understand the logic of the State response to the surging pandemic: Stage 5 is okay. Our focus, per Dr. Box, is to increase the amount of healthcare staff and healthcare capacity to take care of the increasing number of sick people. Oh by the way, please wear you mask, pretty please!! (I love it when Health Commissioner, who recently got over COVID-19 episode, has only this to offer to curb the raging pandemic in our State.
    As I have said before our State needs outside expertise (e.g. Dr. Anthony Fauci) to tell us citizens the REAL status of our State’s current plan to mitigate the pandemic of our State. The current “experts” from State outside of government (e.g. IU) have done little more than to create a bunch of numbers that are totally not understood by the common lay person.
    There needs to a ground swell of outrage from the medical community (i.e. hospital, physicians, medical organizations, nursing organization, pharmacists, etc.) to force a change in how our State is handling the pandemic.
    The State has the money to finance, through the Care ACT, to fund a more comprehensively plan to provide all the necessary tools (PPE, testing, contact tracing, etc.) to get the situation under control.
    A responsible government would be able to balance the economy AND public health. Indiana appears not to be able to multi-task. A responsible State government would be able to do both. (As a small business owner, I have lost at least 50% of my income for the year. I know the financial consequences of the pandemic. It took months as the beginning to obtain the necessary amount of PPE to keep my employees and customers safe. I have been able to keep the staff intact as well. However, one does not know what the future will bring)
    Hopefully, with the election over for the State, our local leaders will begin to multi-task. Frankly, I do not expect any progress. With the flu season beginning and with more indoor events, we need to expect that things are just going to get worse.
    Everyone for our State should realize that our current situation was avoidable. Letting things get worse by this State’s administration is UNCONSCIONABLE and INDEFENSIBLE.
    Everyone should re-watch the scene from “NETWORK” where Peter Finch gives a speech that still resonates today. Here is the YOUTUBE link:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwMVMbmQBug

    1. Well written! >19% positivity rate for unique individuals, yet nothing changes. Warning flags are everywhere and blindly ignored at the state level. It’s a nightmare!

    2. Don’t you agree that masks don’t work? We’ve been wearing them for months and cases are going up.
      How about comparing normal hospitalizations for this time of year for covid/flu symptoms?
      Strange how the flu has gone away this year and covid keeps increasing.
      If you feel unsafe, stay at home and wear a mask. Why can’t the rest of us go to work and wear masks if businesses require it?

    3. Bernard, people aren’t wearing masks, or aren’t wearing them properly, because there are no teeth to the ‘mandate’.

    4. Masks don’t work if everyone doesn’t wear them. Not 70% of people most of the time, but 100% of people wearing them anytime they are out in public. That means getting take out instead of dining in, and no going to bars. Sorry, that’s how you fix this. The government should provide these businesses money equal to what they made before the pandemic, along with their employees.

  2. The data on masks is overwhelming. The CDC has come out more strongly to support universal mask wearing. See article: https://www.biospace.com/article/new-guidance-from-cdc-calls-for-universal-mask-mandates-to-protect-wearers-others-from-covid-19/

    Masks, social distancing, and hand sanitation are well recognized tools to mitigate the virus. However, these tools have NOT been supported enough by our governmental agencies. Without this support and well as a strong voice from the heath care community, the public will not abide by these simple but effective tools.
    Also, one needs to do some examination of history of previous pandemics to get a better understanding of how we are failing in Indiana. Remember how long it took to get the public to wear seat belts. See article: https://www.statnews.com/2020/11/10/covid19-masks-mandate-seatbelt-laws/?utm_source=STAT+Newsletters&utm_campaign=8d59c7851b-Daily_Recap&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8cab1d7961-8d59c7851b-149649921. Health and the economy can co-exist. Right now the State has put the economy first. As a result, we will have bigger problems in the long run.
