If we weren’t wearing dirty diapers on our faces, it would have been 2000 and not only 20. It’s time to flatten the insanity around this.
It is 2000 deaths – probably way more! IBJ is covering up the real Covid crisis! Just ask Dr. Box of Rocks.
This is an interesting headline as I know several college students and a couple middle age adults who’ve had COVID recently and they all had little to no symptoms….. Yet I am bombarded with daily death tolls. What gives? Not buying this anymore folks!
Gee, because the several people you know who have “had” COVID recently were asymptomatic, there must be no increase in deaths! Where did you take Logic 101? Trump University?
There is no increase in the number of deaths. There was only 1 death reported on 9/13 and 9/14. The reporting of the deaths is simply catching up. Sigh. I really wish we were not using clickbait headlines. The headline just as easily could have read: Indiana reports its lowest number of positive cases in a week. (There were only 689 new positives.)
