A
A
We
continue
to
see
very
high
case
numbers
both
in
inside
government
we've
had
the
highest
two
weeks
of
our
case
positive
cases
and,
of
course,
around
the
state,
very
serious
numbers,
as
we
continue
to
face
real
challenges.
Our
hospital
system,
iu
health
across
the
state,
has
its
highest
number
of
inpatients
ever
from
this
pandemic
and
in
fact
their
director
brian
shockney,
said
if,
knowing
that
a
year
after
the
vaccine
is
available,
we
have
had
our
highest
number
of
inpatient.
A
Covets
in
the
hospitals
is
really
unreal
that
that's
where
we
are,
but
it
is
where
we
are
and,
of
course
we
have
real
challenges
ahead:
omicron
omicron,
the
new
variant
that
seems
to
be
extremely
contagious
and
spreadable
is
now
in
indiana.
Officially
we
expected
it
would
be
here.
It's
now
been
confirmed
yesterday
that
it's
been
in
since
december
9th
anyway.
A
That
means
that
that
variant
is
very
likely
to
spread
all
over
indiana,
including
in
our
community.
So
that's
of
of
great
concern.
Some
of
you
may
also
see
the
national
news.
Indiana
is
rated
very
poorly
in
terms
of
overall
risk,
sometimes
at
the
very
bottom
of
the
country,
in
terms
of
the
combination
of
the
spread,
the
vaccinations,
the
testing
etc.
So
we're
in
a
we're
in
a
location,
that's
a
real
risk.
Our
county
is
doing
a
little
better
than
the
state
as
a
whole,
but
it's
it's
of
great
concern
as
we
head
into
the
holidays.
A
So
we
also
know
that
this
new
variant
is
really
dependent
on
boosters
in
terms
of
getting
real
help
and
protection
from
serious
disease.
So
please
look
at
the
boosters
good
news.
There's
a
mobile
clinic
today
tomorrow
and
wednesday,
the
20th
through
the
22nd
of
december,
at
switch
yard
park
in
the
pavilion
from
noon
to
eight.
A
You
can
go
online
and
get
reservations.
I
do
believe.
Walk-Ups
are
allowed
as
well,
but
reservations
encourage
you
can
get
vaccinated.
You
can
get
tested.
You
can
get
boosted
kind
of
a
one-stop
shop.
So
please
head
down
to
the
switchyard
pavilion
to
get
your
booster.
If
you
haven't
gotten
that
already
or
to
get
started
with
vaccinations
or
to
get
tested.
If
you
need
to
be
tested,
we're
all
we're
all
tired
of
this
pandemic,
but
we're
going
to
have
it
with
us
for
a
little
while
longer
it
could
get
worse
before
it
gets
better.
A
So
please
do
your
part
protect
each
other
get
vaccinated,
get
boosted.
Thank
you
for
all
of
you
who
have
done
that
and
continue
to
mask
continue
to
be
careful
during
these
indoor
winter
times
holidays
are
coming.
I
wish
you
all
the
best
for
your
holidays,
as
you
observe
them
with
family
and
friends,
but
please
be
careful,
take
care
not
to
spread
the
virus,
and
I
hope
you
have
a
restful
and
safe
holiday
period.
