Fauci said that they are going to work on manufacturing vaccines before they are approved, hoping to have one ready to administer right away upon approval. Apparently manufacturing these can take months. Of course, this can backfire if the vaccines don’t work because they’ll be left with a lot of useless vaccines. But desperate times are calling for desperate measures. I'm not involved in pharma much, but I can tell you that almost all medical devices build up inventory well before final FDA market launch approval. a day wasted is lost revenue!

Just saw an article Miami hasn't had a murder in 7 weeks. First time since 1957 they have went that long. I've posted a few things showing crime is up in Chicago. 4000 people, including 64 murderers were released from IL jails- https://wrex.com/2020/04/28/almost-4000-inmates-released-from-il-prisons-64-charged-with-murder/ I'm pretty sure this does not include the county jails.

Could see a surge from those states coming in and potentially backfiring. Time will tell. I'll say this. I thought Gov Holcomb's plan is well thought out in stages over coming months and if science warrants a change....they'll cancel openings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a data scientist, so I can't judge one way or another. But just anecdotally as a resident of Monroe County, I have to question their conclusions. Because there are basically no students in Bloomington right now, all other things being equal, Monroe County is just kind of your average Indiana county across the state in terms of population. The positive test rate has remained relatively low compared to other counties, hovering ~11-12% over the past few weeks. Compare that to Bartholomew County, two counties over, and their positive rate hovering near *40%*!!!. It's already a hot spot, and has performed far few tests than Monroe. It kinda freaks me out looking at the numbers (sorry, I'd provide the numbers, but can't get the ISDH site to work display right now). I'm just not seeing a reason for Monroe to spike in the near future. From what I've observed during the few times I've been out the past month, Bloomington folks are doing a pretty good job at social distancing, masking up, and all that. Mind you, I only ever do grocery runs every 7-10 days, but for the most part, people are respecting each other and taking precautions. Again, I could be wrong, but I don't see a serious spike in positive cases here unless people start behaving like total idiots - which is always a possibility.

I was a little young to appreciate Secretariat, and then you had Affirmed and Seattle Slew shortly thereafter, so it did not seem like a big deal back then.. Pharoah's Breeder's Cup Classic win may be my favorite horse race of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Indiana definitely has coronavirus issues. 11th worst deaths per 1 million population among the 50 states. And, while you can see some flattening, and even some downward trending in other states, it just isn't happening in Indiana. New cases are going up and deaths are not going down.

So many fake and politically driven BS sources, domestic and foreign. It’s pretty easy to check the veracity of a service / source.
