  1. Reporting “new cases” is really not very important. There are more cases out there than you know about because the infection is asymptomatic or mild in the VAST majority of cases. And cases will rise with the availability of test kits. Breathless reporting of case increases just foments stupid panic. We expect tens of thousands of new cases; the number will get astronomical. Stop acting like it’s a big deal.

    AND — what matters is the death rate and more important the ICU usage.
    Why is it that no one in the media can get the number of ICU units avail in central indiana and Indiana at large?
    AND, how many of those are currently being used — and of that amount how many are being used by COVID-19 victims.
    AND, most importantly, what is the age of those patients and what underlying conditions did they have.
    Political leaders want everyone to believe that this is Ebola. It isn’t. Nothing reported in the last 2 weeks contradicts the view that there is a linear relationship between symptoms and age. AND that the people at genuine risk of dying are all in a high risk category.
    The IBJ could do a service by getting answers to these questions and helping to debunk the hysteria being fomented.

  2. Good questions:
    number of ICU units avail in central indiana and Indiana at large?
    AND, how many of those are currently being used — and of that amount how many are being used by COVID-19 victims.

  3. You know what? It is a big deal when people who do not consider themselves high risk are cavalier about the serious consequences and pass on the attitude that that it’s only high risk people who should be concerned. Because that will lead to people at “low risk” not cooperating with measures that reduce incidence and therefore are protective of people at risk. If you think people are less valuable because they have “underlying conditions”, think again. You don’t know the health status (nor should you) of all the people you interact or of the health care workers who are out there caring for patients. Society gets through a tough time when they pull together not when they pull part.
