0 deaths in Marion County. Yet still shutdown. Fascinating.
Hospitalizations are up, cases are up, and deaths will obviously follow. Ignorance is bliss.
Yes, the restrictions saved lives! Glad you can see that. But now we’re trending in the wrong direction again.
Marion County is hardly “shut down”
Tell that to the hospitality industry.
Continue measures to assure safety. Shut down duration and impacts could have been lessened had a rational national policy been implemented. Yet complaints continues along with simple measures such as wearing a mask. Considering massive increases in the Midwest and the overall impact on the national economy, conventions and other events the fuel downtown Indianapolis revenue are unlikely to restart soon, even with a 100% opening.
