When will Dear Leader Joe allow Indy to go to 3’ spacing in High Schools so my kids can go back to school? If you are “following the science”…3’ is a no brainer…
Share the links. What’s I’ve seen says 6 feet isn’t enough.
Great call — I watched the press conference. Marion Co. has fewer cases than all of the surrounding counties who have gone to 3ft. Dr. Cain says she wants to “look closely” before making a decision. She’s apparently been very focused on getting the bars more open….(eye-roll).
Joe, share the links? Every study re school transmission of Covid shows it is almost zero. It’s why schools all over the world have remained open during the pandemic. Even the CDC guidance (which was pretty much written by the teacher unions) says 6 ft “where feasible”. Schools are only so big. Almost zero transmission is occurring, and, even if it does kids have nearly zero reaction to the virus.
That’s funny, my kid who had the virus would disagree with you there. She said it sucked.
It appears three feet might work if everyone is masked and stays that way. So then the game becomes how you feed all those people and keep them spread out when they’re unmasked for meals, which is a solvable issue. I’d support trying three feet distances knowing that the distance might have to go back to six if school spread becomes an issue.
As far as six feet not being enough, I was speaking to the below… which is why I’m not doing any indoor dining until a couple weeks after my second shot.

I actually did not believe this no-source fact from Joe, but it is the WHO recommendation at this time https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/coronavirus-disease-covid-19-schools

Thanks to Ted and David for tipping me off on the three foot with masks research. I have heard of a private school in Johnson County that’s been doing the three foot rule but not requiring masks in the classroom … I believe they’ve had multiple cases in classrooms. So that was where my mind went when the three foot rule came up, but I was wrong.
Technically….. Wouldn’t the limits be -decreasing- since more people are being allowed to go to restaurants?
To clarify – capacity would be increasing, meaning limits are decreasing. Comment refers to headline of article.
Geez. It can be said either way. Put in your resume and go be an editor, instead of playing one here.
No way Joe wants to look bad with the whole country watching, and sure Joe it had nothing to do with march madness coming.
We’ll see if the media show all the closed/boarded up businesses downtown, which resulted from Mayor Joe’s ineptitude, incompetence and cowardice.
#truth
Many NBA players are angry that the All Star game is going on as scheduled in Atlanta even though we are still in the midst of a pandemic. But NCAA Tournament and Big Ten Tournament goes on without the bat of an eyelash even though it is a longer time frame and we know that college students are much more likely to be careless party participants. Stupidity and greed at its best. We know the NCAA said that they could not survive another year without the tournament and Indpls was dumb enough to grab the bait to host all 66 games. They’d host the NBA All Star game too if they could have scheduled it in.
The whole country is not watching, Doug T. Not everyone is obsessed with college basketball.
Bars can now operate at a whole 50% of capacity and stay open an extra 2 hours on weekends? Wow, that will be a real gamechanger (not). Thank you Pothole Joe for your benevolence!
Actually, you would be surprised what that two-hour difference makes for bars. It will not automatically turn things around but it will help.
It’s going to be difficult for the downtown restaurant industry to staff up for march madness. Our elected officials have destroyed the industry and now expect them to deliver pre-pandemic hospitality. The restaurant owner and their teams will work themselves to death to deliver the highest level of service for March Madness, even with limited resources.
They’ve known for a month now that’s it’s coming. And the virus destroyed the economy, not the restrictions.
Did Pothole and Craine stress to the business owners how “lucky” they are? And, yes, this has nothing to do with basketball LOL. Right….
Mayor Joe and Dr. Caine.
Really?
This is the best we can do?
And they are still giving us orders.
Sad, who is following these two?
Joe B – here you go
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/02/24/metro/dozens-physicians-urge-mass-school-leaders-3-feet-distance-between-students-is-enough/
https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/oped-reduce-distancing-requirement-to-keep-kids-in-school/
Are these good enough for you?
Yaaaay! More young drunks on the road!!
Sure… let’s raise the capacity now that all the places have gone out of business… stupid.
“all the places have gone out of business”
that didn’t happen.
Hmm almost a year to the day. Anybody smell anything?
Most conspiracy theories stink, so it could be that.
Joe – Mindlessly following is what really stinks in life.
Yes, the mindless zombies of the right wing media cult … they stink to high heaven. How many people has Hannity killed with his nonsense on the virus, anyway?
