INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) Mayor Joe Hogsett and Dr. Virginia Caine of the Marion County Public Health Department will announce today their intention to maintain local stay-at-home restrictions in Marion County to remain in effect through May 15.
A 10 a.m. news conference is scheduled to address the decision.
Current state and local orders are set to expire on May 1, with Gov. Eric Holcomb and state officials planning to provide guidance on future statewide restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Indianapolis order would comply "to the greatest extent allowable" with any new statewide orders.
Its clear from talking to state leaders and community stakeholders that the challenges we face here in Indianapolis are unique a city filled with large venues, densely populated neighborhoods, and active business centers," Hogsett said in a Thursday morning news release. "To ensure that we see continued progress in our fight against this virus, we must recommit to our social distancing efforts even as we plan for the future. I appreciate Governor Holcombs partnership as he and his team continue to address the diverse needs of Hoosier communities.

Wasnt the initial goal of lockdowns to avoid overwhelming the healthcare systems? Where does that stand?
I give it two more weeks before the natives become restless enough that politicians' heads start appearing on pikes. (Figuratively speaking, of course.)
“Wasnt the initial goal of lockdowns to avoid overwhelming the healthcare systems? Where does that stand?”
It doesn’t stand, it’s always changing to keep up with the moving goalposts.
Same here. I gave it to 1 May to see that the polidiots start making excuses to extend and the people start questioning that, and May 15th when the money starts running out as first of the month bills came due.
Another poster on this thread already answered that question.
More models, huh?
No thanks.
Not exactly. Artificial intelligence predicted the outbreaks that did,in fact, happen based on social media posts.
What?
Is there something in particular that you’d like me to notice in this data?
If youre going to order these lockdowns you need your UI systems in top notch above 100% shape prior to. Not the case in Indiana.
Nope, it is just the data for your State..and apparently there is a high percentage death rate
And yes, Indiana is hit harder than many other states..perhaps due to Biogen Strain...and yes, Marion County hit harder than many other areas of the country for some reason.
Although, Biogen Strain first showed up in a county that surrounds Marion. I think Hendricks
btw, that hospital probably serves more poor than some of the other hospitals which might account for higher death rate...or perhaps...it’s a function of the hospital itself...or both
Here is INdiana with Cass County likely being due to the meat plant

Indiana plans to expand COVID-19 testing to everyone with symptoms
Our hospitals arent overwhelmed. Our ICUs statewide still have more than 42% capacity left. Currently only about 18% of ICU capacity is going for CoVid + patients. Our curve has also nose-dived. People are recovering and being released. Its hard to find exact numbers on recoveries, but I have seen it on a website or two. Sorry, I dont remember which ones. Most updates have been through yesterday, but some that I looked at are only through the 27th.
I hope Holcomb doesnt back off. People need to get back to work.
