8 thoughts on “Indiana lawmakers won’t return for one-day session on COVID-19 legislation

  1. Will wonders never cease? Our wise leaders finally realized that it might be a bad idea to ram through anti-public-health measures at a time when, yet again, COVID is surging back in Indiana. I’m thankful sanity ruled the day today, but this kind of nonsense on the part of Indiana Republicans–getting in the way of masks and vaccines–is exactly why we are hurtling headlong into another surge…political points are nearly always more important for them than good public policy and the health of actual living human beings. You’d think there was a pro-COVID lobby donating to their campaigns, given how pro-COVID their campaigning and legislating has been.

    1. Thanks, iOS, for posting that already.

      Or they were going to fail in the Senate. Via Brian Howey:

      Speaker Huston and President Bray announce delaying Nov. 29 special session to end the pandemic. Sources tell HPI there were not enough Senate votes to pass legislation heard on Tuesday.

    2. Republicans are why we are headed to another surge Steve? Can you walk us through the Science! on that? Make sure Michigan with their Dem Governor and 70% vax rate is included in your Power Point.

    3. “To reduce the risk of serious illness, Health Minister Jens Spahn urged Germans to get vaccinated, including with booster shots if their first round of inoculation occurred more than six months ago.”

      “By the end of this winter pretty much everyone in Germany (…) will have been vaccinated, recovered or died,” Spahn told reporters in Berlin.

      “He acknowledged that some would consider this view to be cynical. “But it’s true. With the highly contagious delta variant this is very, very likely and that’s why we are recommending vaccination so urgently,” said Spahn. “

  2. Political idiots. Go to work, do your job, cast your vote and show your colors. Then explain to the people who elect you why you voted the way you did. That is how this is supposed to work. Instead, these idiots went home to hide.

  3. I’m giving thanks thi week that legislators didn’t rush to judgement on this. WTHR reported that Indiana’s infection rate increased 60% in the last two weeks BEFORE the Thanksgiving holiday. The holidays caused a surge last year, and this year promises more of the same with the much more contagious Delta variant.

    PLEASE Indiana legislators – promote vaccines, COVID testing, masks, and more attention to hygiene. There is no herd immunity for COVID until and unless everyone possible is vaccinated.
