    We Are Still in This Together -
    Maintaining the fight against Covid-19

    A message to the residents of Monroe County from community leaders

    BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Monroe County Health Department, Monroe County Board of
    Commissioners, City of Bloomington, Indiana University Health, and Indiana University are standing
    together to support continuing Covid-19 safety precautions amid rising cases.

    We are united in the belief that the pandemic is not yet over and that it is not yet time to let down our
    guard. We stand beside the Monroe County Health Officer and Health Board in maintaining the mask
    and social distancing mandates put in place to protect our community.

    Monroe County’s weekly case rate per 100,000 people more than doubled this week from a low of 63
    last month to 128 cases, causing the county to return to the Yellow Advisory Level on the Indiana
    Department of Health (IDOH) Coronavirus Metrics map at www.coronavirus.in.gov. The daily rolling
    average doubled to 26 cases within the same period while the positivity rate rose 50% to 0.9%
    This shows our numbers are going in the wrong direction. We must continue the Covid-19 safety
    precautions currently in place: wearing masks, social distancing, diligent hand hygiene and staying
    home while ill. These actions, along with getting vaccinated against Covid-19, will protect our
    families, our neighbors and our community.

    If you haven’t received your vaccination yet, please visit www.ourshot.IN.gov to find area clinic sites
    and make an appointment.

    We will continue to urge all our community members to maintain the measures necessary to protect
    themselves and each other until medical professionals advise otherwise.
    The Monroe County Health Board will meet next on April 6th to review the current health regulations
    and update as needed. We support their efforts to protect the health of the community.

    Let’s stay the course and keep each other well.

    keep the community safe.

    You do need a mask. It's not a diaper unless you are talking s**t. Don't talk s**t and you won't need a diaper. You need a mask to stop you from spitting, coughing, sneezing on others. Learn how the body function so we can get on top of this novel disease. We are almost there, no reason to screw it up now.
    I'm still not spitting, coughing, or sneezing on anyone. Thus, by your logic, I do not, in fact, need to wear a mask.

    And you have yet to prove the harm posed by non-symptomatic people not wearing masks.

    IKR. Kirk's on a warpath today.


    It doesn't help that some INGOers can't realize he doesn't mean literally spitting.


    Is the concept of water vapor expiration(and the bugs that ride it) that hard to understand?
    You, too: prove the viral load of the respiration of non-symptomatic people. Since your position is the one that imposes restriction on the freedom of others, you, not those others, bear the burden to prove the harm, and the benefit of the proposed restriction of freedom to address that harm.

    I get it. Letting this thing run rampant is a good way to fix Social Security and save it for those of us who are not currently elderly. I say the old people have outlived their usefulness.
    If particular demographic groups are at exceptionally high risk from the pandemic, do population-wide policies and mandates (of any kind) that restrict the freedoms of everyone, equally, represent a) the least-restrictive means to mitigate that risk, and b) the most-targeted/focused means to mitigate that risk?

    There is no going back to normal. The sooner everyone realizes that, the sooner we can get back to normal.

    I saw an interesting explanation recently, many Christians lament the removal of God and prayers from schools and often blame that for the schools downfall, the author says that the elimination of God and prayer was the culmination of a plan and goal, not a beginning...

    of course, in order for SCOTUS to rule against the freedom of religion in Engel vs Vitale, there had to be a culture of those ideas among legal scholars and that took root in the universities in the early 20th century.
