  1. Why isn’t Indiana making the antibody treatment readily available for people in the early stages of Covid to decrease hospitalizations? Florida has them everywhere? My mother had this treatment in 2020 and she felt better quickly.

    1. Get with the program? Why don’t you get educated. People are getting COVID with and without the vaccine. No one knows at what rates – because the scientists either don’t know or won’t tell us if the vaccine is not working.

    2. The vaccine is not a golden bullet that promises you will never get COVID… and it never has been.

      What it does is promise a much reduced risk of infection, hospitalization, admission to the ICU, intubation, and death. There are copious examples of this data unless you choose to ignore it.

  2. Playing around with numbers to spread fear. So a hospital sets aside say 15% of its beds in ICU for Covid (to keep it simple lets say 15 out of 100 total ICU beds). Covid is now taking 25% of those beds set aside or 4 beds (rounding up). So the media can now print 1 Quarter of ICU beds taken up by Covid. When in reality….in this example, it would be only 4%.

    And did you read the fine print on the stats….”The cases and testing categories typically contain numerous duplicates”… that’s because they test and test once you have Covid, if the same person test positive multiple times, they count that in the overall total.

    Manipulating numbers for an agenda….

    1. R.R., that’s not how the ICU calculation works. There are 2,185 ICU beds in the state, and 529 of them are taken up by COVID-19 patients.

    2. Not true. Every hospital designates ICU beds to Covid-19 patience only. That is how the hospital is segregated for cross contamination. And your numbers came from where??

    1. Free country….believe whatever you want to believe. However, I’d suggest you talk to real people of influence and get your own facts. GBY!

    2. R R, facts are facts. It’s not something to believe or not believe. It just is what it is. You can choose not to believe in facts, but that means you live in an alternate reality.
