5 thoughts on “Vaccines offer hope for end to pandemic, but experts say brutal months lie ahead

  1. THIS IS WHAT WE ALL LOVE ABOUT THE NEWS THESE DAYS: YES WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A VACCINE SOON, BUT PLEASE DON’T GET EXCITED FOR THIS POSITIVE NEWS ON THE HORIZON BECAUSE THINGS NOW COULDN’T BE WORSE.

    1. Exactly. Why has the media and a good chunk of the population love to be such downers on positive news! Ridiculous.

  2. 1. So the plan for Indiana is make sure that health care workers get the vaccine so they can remain well enough to take care of the onslaught of new patients. Oh, I forgot, the State is running out of ICU beds (only about 20% left). I guess that we should just tell the new sick Covid-19 patients. “first come, first serve,” or “if you snooze, you lose.” I doubt if the Convention Center or the Colts want to give up any space for temporary hospital facilities. Of course, why should we plan ahead when the current plan is working so well.

    2. Remember back in the spring when there was a shut down ordered by the governor. He assured us that he would follow the numbers and the science on opening things up with his 5 stage plan. It appears that he has kept one of his promises. he is following the number but not the science. By all of the numbers (daily positive cases, hospital census, hospital admissions, deaths, positivity, etc., etc.) we are substantially worse shape, but no hint of changing course. What does the “State of Emergency” really mean? What does the “mask mandate” really? In very simple terms, NOTHING!! So we are on our own.

    1. I am so disappointed in Governor Holcomb. He is nothing but another empty suit just like his predecessor. .. We have now surpassed 6,000 Covid deaths. I can’t help but wonder what things would be like if his opponent would have won the election………you know, someone who actually had an education/ background in medicine? And in person fans (12,500) are still allowed at Colts games? And allowed at Butler basketball games (1,500). It was going to be increased until of course the games had to be rescheduled due to positive test(s)). To put in perspective, the only other Big East school allowing in person fans is Xavier which has limited fans to 300. No Big Ten schools are allowing any fans . GB Packers–no fans. The list goes on and on and on. Let the haters respond. I really don’t care.

  3. Yeah, Jennifer S. – that was a layup. I’ll be the hater. Enjoy your miserable outlook. I have tons of hope and feelings of positivity for 2021 and as a business person and entrepreneur there are going to be some incredible opportunities moving forward, even with Biden set to take office. So yeah, enjoy living in your bunker, I’m choosing the opposite.

Your go-to for Indy business news.
