Hello,
it's
mayor,
john
hamilton,
happy
new
year,
it's
january
4th
2022.
we're
looking
forward
to
a
bright
new
year.
It's
sunny
today
and
lots
of
plans.
I
know
underway
for
the
coming
year.
So
thanks
for
joining
again,
I
just
want
to
give
a
quick
pandemic
update,
we'll
keep
doing
this
for
at
least
the
time
being.
A
As
you
no
doubt
know,
omicron
is
coming
ablazes
into
indiana
and
our
community,
our
country,
the
world.
This
new
variant
has
exploded
numbers.
Our
county
numbers
are
up
in
the
mid
200s
now
cases
per
hundred
thousand
for
the
week
that
used
to
be
as
low
as
50
or
60
a
number
of
weeks
ago
has
been
climbing,
but
that
was
a
big
jump
in
the
last
week.
Omicron.
A
A
Those
of
us
who
are
vaccinated
and
boosted
are
in
a
better
shape,
and
I
encourage
all
of
you
to
get
vaccinated
and
boosted
that
does
offer
serious
help
against
the
omicron
infection,
as
well
as
those
that
are
still
around
delta
and
others.
But
it
takes
action,
continuing
to
mask
and
distance
is
key
and
not
sharing
air
with
those
who
may
be
transmitting.
This
disease
is
very
important
again
to
protect
our
health
care
workers
and
the
health
care
system
from
getting
overwhelmed.
A
It's
shocking
that
we're
here,
a
year
later
after
the
vaccines
became
available,
but
here
we
are
so.
I
surely
hope
that
more
of
you
will
recognize
the
value
of
the
vaccines
they've
been
taken
by
hundreds
of
millions
of
people
around
the
world,
they're
very
safe,
they're,
very
effective.
They
are
how
we
get
out
of
this,
so
we're
starting
2022
with
a
big
boost
in
the
wrong
direction
from
omicron,
both
in
in
case
numbers.
Hospitalizations.
A
We're
worried
about
the
impact
on
the
young.
Our
school
systems
are
working
heroically
to
keep
open
in
the
midst
of
all
this
in
our
economy.
We're
continuing
to
work
very
strongly
to
keep
it
open,
but
it
all
depends
upon
us
doing
the
right
things.
We
still
have
our
mask
order
in
place,
the
only
county
in
indiana
that
does
that
we're
proud
of
that.
A
We
think
it
has
helped
us
weather
this
storm
better
and
we'll
continue
to
urge
you
to
wear
your
masks
whenever
you're
close
to
folks
indoors,
as
well
as
to
get
that
booster
and
and
the
vaccines
please
do
get
tested.
If
you
have
symptoms
so
we're
going
to
be
watching
this
week
to
week,
this
may
be
a
very
fast.
It
is
fast
arriving.
A
We
hope
it
may
be
a
steep
up
in
a
steep
down
in
terms
of
the
numbers,
but
we
don't
know
that
yet
and
we're
going
to
be
very
vigilant
so
stay
safe,
protect
against
big
meetings
or
sharing
here
with
others.
So
thank
you
for
your
attention
to
that
and
again
we
give
thanks
to
all
those
who
help
keep
our
economy
going
and
keep
our
health
care
system
working,
including
all
my
fellow
city
employees,
thanks
for
all
that,
you
do
and
we'll
keep
in
touch.
