A
So,
let's
start
off
today.
First
of
all,
let's,
let's
go
with
the
health
department
for
a
quick
update
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
mayor.
D
Great,
thank
you
chuck
and
thanks
for
everybody
being
here,
we
have
big
news.
Is
this
partnership
and
we
have
worked
together
all
year,
long
and
specifically
around
covid19
and
to
you
know
this
week.
We
are
pleased
to
be
able
to
announce
our
partnership
to
bring
a
community
covid19
testing
site
that
will
be
up
and
running
later
this
month.
We
hope
by
the
end
of
the
month
and
then
it
will
run
through
june.
D
So
we
did
send
out
a
press
release
about
that
yesterday.
Just
a
joint
release
from
all
of
us.
It
is
a
joint
effort
not
only
between
the
health
department
and
the
county,
but
between
the
city,
indiana
university,
health,
indiana
university,
and
it
would
not
be
happening
if
it
was
not
for
this
partnership.
D
The
state
has
put
came
to
the
local
health
departments
this
summer
late
this
summer
to
offer
some
what
really
was
very
small
seed
money
for
testing
for
a
community
testing
site
and
a
lot
of
counties
did
not
do
it
because
it
wasn't
enough
to
really
cover
the
costs
and
when
we
brought
that
to
the
commissioners
and
to
this
group,
the
commissioners
were
in
right
away
and-
and
this
group
was,
we
need
to
pursue
this,
even
if
it
doesn't
work
out.
D
The
optum
site,
which
people
have
been
used
to
having
we're
we're
thrilled
to
have
that
here.
The
state
contracted
early
on
with
optum
to
have
sites
around
the
state
and
those
are
on
a
month-to-month
basis.
So
currently
it
is
scheduled
to
be
here
through
october.
We
do
not
know
if
it
will
be
renewed
for
november
or
not.
The
state
lets
us
know
when
they
make
those
decisions.
D
They
have
indicated
that
at
some
point
this
year
they
will
not
be
using
all
of
the
sites.
I
think
they
have
like
92.
I
I've
lost
track
now
of
how
many
they
have
not
one
in
every
county,
but
they
have
a
a
large
number
of
those
sites
and
they
will
start
closing
some
of
them
they.
My
understanding
is
that
some
of
those
optum
sites
will
remain
in
the
state,
certainly
places
that
don't
have
other
options.
They'll
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
testing
availability.
D
So
again,
I
I
can't
thank
all
of
our
partners
enough
iu
health
hospital
has
been
very,
very
generous
in
helping
us
with
space
and
accommodations
and
the
city
and
the
university
have
stepped
up
to
contribute
financially
as
well,
and
that's
going
to
make
this
happen.
So
we
don't
have
all
this
specifics
in
terms
of
hours
of
operation
and
those
kinds
of
things
that
will
be
coming
once
we
have
the
site
ready
and
it
will
include
online
registration
much
like
optimus,
and
it
will
operate
about
35
hours
a
week.
D
So
there
are
some
other
things
that
that
I
might
share
just
in
terms
of
our
local
numbers
and
another
reason
that
we
want
to
keep
testing
going.
You
know
that's
part
of
all
of
the
mitigation
and
the
work
to
contain
and
try
to
slow.
The
transmission
of
covid19
is
all
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
together.
So
we
know
that
we
need
to
continue
to
wear
masks
to
physically
distance
to
wash
our
hands
to
stay
home
when
we're
sick
all
of
those
things.
D
So
I
mentioned
wednesday
at
the
commissioners
meeting
there's
a
new
acronym
out
there,
and
but
I'm
going
to
say
we
have
a
new
weapon
too,
and
we
can
smash
covet
19
if
we
work
together,
so
that
acronym
is
s
for
social
distancing,
we're
keeping
that
six
feet
between
us
whenever
possible,
continuing
to
wear
our
masks
or
face
coverings,
when
we
can't
maintain
that
social
distance
when
we're
out
in
public
and
around
other
people
outside
of
our
household,
avoiding
crowds.
D
We
know
that
when
we
are
in
crowds
that
we
have,
the
potential
for
infection
and
transmission
is
greater,
so
avoiding
crowds
again,
especially
with
people
that
you
don't
know.
You
want
to
be
masked.
You
want
to
maintain
that
distance
staying
home
when
you're
ill
and
when
we
talk
about
being
ill
with
covid,
it's
symptomatic
or
not.
D
If
you've
had
a
positive
task,
you
are
ill,
so
stay
home,
stay
away
from
others,
and
if
you
you're
a
close
contact,
then
we
need
you
to
stay
at
home
and
quarantine
and
you
know,
follow
cdc
guidelines
and
the
h
is
hand
washing
continue
hand
washing.
We
are
entering
into
flu
season.
All
of
these
things
can
help
us
keep
down,
keep
the
spread
of
influenza
down
and
other
respiratory
viruses.
D
So
we
need
to
do
everything
we
can
to
get
as
little
transmission
of
of
anything
right
now
again
fall
breaks,
holiday
travel
is
coming
up,
so
we
need
to
remain
diligent
and
just
do
everything
we
can
to
reduce
our
risks
of
transmitting
the
infection.
If
we
get
it
and
prevent
ourselves
from
getting
infected.
If
we
can
back
to
you
chuck.
B
Thanks
very
much
and
nice
to
be
with
you
all
again,
thanks
for
everybody
tuning
in
and
paying
attention
to
this,
for
all
the
good
work
that's
happening
locally.
B
I
think
I
want
to
start
today
just
briefly
noting
that
our
state
is
not
really
doing
well,
and
I
I'm
greatly
concerned
by
some
of
the
signals,
of
course,
that
we
see
at
the
national
level
and
concern
about
our
president
and
hope
he
gets
well,
but
also
the
the
signaling
about
nothing
to
fear,
don't
fear
and
and
and
continued
mixed,
and
I
think,
very
inappropriate
signals
about
this
disease.
B
As
I
look
at
the
state's
website,
just
just
checking
it
today,
the
seven
day,
moving
average
of
positive
cases
is
up.
50
percent
in
indiana
in
the
last
month
saying
that
again,
the
seven
day
moving
average
of
how
many
positive
cases
we're
seeing
each
day
in
the
state
of
indiana
has
gone
up
50
in
the
past
month
at
its
highest
level.
Ever
according
to
the
state
website,
it's
been
rising
since
the
governor
announced
his
planned
changes,
including
eliminating
the
masked
mandate
and
other
loosening
of
restrictions.
B
Deaths
remain
low,
which
is
a
very
good
positive,
ultimate
indicator
very
important.
But
it's
it's
just
in
my
view,
really
the
wrong
signal:
the
wrong
decisions
about
changing
direction
in
the
state.
With
that
kind
of
underlying
data
we
know
there's
some
real
eruptions
in
some
of
our
neighbors
as
well.
We
just
shouldn't
be
loosening
our
rules,
yet
in
my
view,
we
should
retain
the
mask
mandate
and,
of
course
we
will,
I
hope
and
plan
to,
in
the
short
run
at
least
locally,
and
the
governor
does
continue
to
acknowledge
the
importance
of
that.
B
But
I
I
just
want
to
note,
there's
this
disconnect
between
some
of
these
underlying
signals
that
we
see
in
the
data
and
the
steps
being
taken,
and
I
just
think
it's
encouraging
and
reminding
us
locally
how
we
need
to
stay
the
course
because,
again,
very
significant.
B
I
use,
of
course,
the
source
of
the
vast
majority
of
testing,
and
that
continues
for
the
fourth
week
in
a
row
to
show
positive
direction,
which
is
encouraging
us
that,
even
with
the
challenges
that
were
particular
to
our
community
over
the
last
couple
months
that
we're
that
we're
seeing
positive
direction
and
that's
really
important-
really
good.
It
just
encourages
me
to
keep
staying
the
course
that
we're
doing
and
encouraging
all
of
us
to
know
that
these
early
steps
we
took
masking
tighter
restrictions
on
social
gatherings
smashing
covet.
I
love
that.
B
That's
great
many
thank
you
for
that,
including
the
crowds
and
including
that
to
continue
that
effort.
I
I
will
just
also
add
briefly.
Yes,
we're
really
glad
to
be
a
full
partner
in
the
clinic,
that's
a
terrific
asset
for
the
community
and
a
reflection
of
the
great
collaboration
that
we've
had
going
all
this
year.
Among
all
the
parties
here,
the
city
of
bloomington
utilities
did
share
with
the
the
health
swat
team.
B
If
you
will
the
health
task
force
on
wednesday,
the
briefing
on
the
data
of
their
testing,
as
I
mentioned
last
week,
that
will
not
be
public
until
that
scientific
study.
If
you
will
is
completed,
but
they
did
share
that
with
the
health
experts
this
week,
showing
some
indication
that
we
may,
we
may
be
able
to
see
infection
blooms
earlier
in
sewer
data
than
otherwise.
B
But
so
far
the
data
that
we've
been
able
to
see
from
the
sewer
testing,
which
is
going
on
each
week,
has
really
confirmed
the
same
data,
reflective
of
and
accurate
with
all
the
other
data
sources
that
we
have.
So
there's
that
and
we'll
continue
to
monitor
that
weekly
and
report
it
regularly
to
the
health
experts
and
then
ultimately,
to
the
public.
As
soon
as
we
can
this,
the
city
is
also
continuing
the
rapid
response
funding
program.
B
It's
now
approaching
two
million
dollars
that
has
gone
out
the
door
to
support
local
businesses
and
nonprofits
as
they're
dealing
with
this.
We
sure
hope
things
continue
to
turn
around.
The
city
is
also
continuing
our
protocols
in
the
workplace
in
moving
forward
without
any
expected
changes
in
the
short
run.
We
did
have
a
first
report
of
a
police
department,
employee
who
tested
positive.
They
are
doing
well.
B
E
Hi
everyone
thanks
for
being
here
today
as
every
week
and
thank
you
chuck
for
moderating
our
discussions.
Yes,
I
we're
very
excited
board
of
commissioners-
is
very
excited
about
this,
this
collaborative
effort
to
ensure
that
we
have
testing
through
2021,
and
we
appreciate
the
contributions
of
every
single
partner
in
this.
A
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
it
and
we
cannot
thank
folks
enough
health
department,
iu,
bloomington
hospital
iu
in
the
city
thanks
to
everyone
for
making
this
possible.
E
It's
really
amazing
to
see
that
amidst
a
crisis
like
this,
our
community
can
really
build
strong
connections
and
utilize,
those
to
benefit
everyone.
So
just
a
couple
quick
notes,
we
still
encourage
folks
in
the
I
believes
falling
on
me.
We
encourage
folks
who
are
in
the
community
every
county
resident
lives
in
a
township.
If
you
need
assistance
to
pay
for
your
shelter
food
utilities,
please
contact
your
township
trustee.
E
As
for
businesses,
following
up
with
nearly
400
thousand
dollars
in
grants
to
county
businesses
and
social
service
agencies,
we
have,
we
are
continuing
to
provide,
cares
funding
for
any
business
in
the
county
or
any
social
service
organization
that
needs
funding
to
cover
costs
additional
costs
due
to
covid.
E
These
can't
be
payroll
costs,
but
others
are
welcome
to
apply
and
as
of
yesterday,
our
numbers
are
143
670
and
that's
a
grant
to
those
businesses
and
we've
also
granted
over
thirty
six
thousand
dollars
to
local
taxing
units,
mainly
the
monroe
county,
public
library.
Also,
a
quick
note.
E
It
looked
like
folks
who
were
who
began
early
voting,
which
started
on
tuesday
this
week
that
early
voters
were
wearing
their
face
shields,
face
coverings
or
both,
and
it
was
really
great
to
see
that
very
busy
turnout,
but
just
a
reminder
that
you
can
vote
in
person
early
at
401
west
7th
street,
which
is
the
election
central
office.
E
If
you
do
qualify
to
receive
a
ballot
by
mail,
you
must
request
it
by
october
22nd.
Unfortunately,
voter
registration
is
closed
at
this
time.
If
you
need
any
further
information,
you
can
go
to.
E
Monroecountyvoters.Us
and
find
that
additional
information,
but
just
a
good
reminder
to
everyone
to
keep
an
eye
on
one
another,
our
neighbors
and
please
keep
wearing
your
face
coverings
to
protect
our
community
to
ensure
that
we're
in
great
shape
once
this
pandemic
is
over,
and
with
that
I
will
take
any
questions.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
F
Thank
you
chuck.
I
have
a
couple
announcements
to
make.
We
have
two
blood
drives
scheduled
for
october,
a
daytime
and
an
evening.
This
is
a
repeated
announcement,
but
the
more
I
announced
the
more
people
hopefully
will
get
signed
up
for
our
blood
drives.
The
first
one
is
scheduled
for
october
22nd
and
it
is
during
the
daytime
of
10
to
3,
and
the
second
is
scheduled
for
october
28th.
F
There
is
a
direct
link
to
the
cdc
holidays,
and
so
you
can
find
not
only
halloween
but
those
other
holidays
that
are
going
to
be
following,
and
but
specifically
this
announcements
for
halloween.
F
We
do
have
several
safe
places
in
the
community
that
are
willing
to
hand
out
candy
and
we
have
a
list
of
some
of
those
places
and
and
most
of
those
are
fire
stations
that
are
willing
to
hand
out
candy
for
us
that
are
have
been
made
aware
of
the
cdc
guidelines
and
we'll
be
following
those,
and
so
if
you
want
to
participate
in
halloween,
trick-or-treating
and
and
want
to
go
to
places
that
you
are
are
assured
are
going
to
be
following
cbc
guidelines.
F
G
Hi
chuck
it's
great
to
see
you
today
and
everyone
on
the
call
just
a
few
updates
from
iu
health.
First
of
all,
while
the
number
of
coveted
positive
inpatients
that
we
have
seen
within
monroe
county
continues
to
be
low,
which
you
can
see
from
these
charts,
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
covet
positive
in
patients
this
week
in
lawrence
county.
So
this
is
a
concern.
In
addition,
within
the
iu
health
system,
our
hospitals,
in
both
muncie
and
in
lafayette,
have
experienced
high
volumes
of
covid19
in
patients
as
well.
G
We
do
want
to
just
mention
that
we
apologize
for
the
delay
of
the
release
of
our
iu
health
covered
weekly
data
that
is
sent
to
the
media
and
the
public
each
monday.
But
this
week
we
experienced
a
technical
glitch
that
delayed
that,
and
everyone
received
it
on
wednesday,
but
you
can
see
from
this
slide
and
some
of
the
key
indicators
and
where
we're
at
as
a
region.
G
I
want
to
just
talk
about
flu
shots
for
a
second,
the
monroe
county
public
health
clinic,
which
is
a
collaborative
collaboration
between
iu
health,
bloomington
hospital,
and
the
monroe
county
health
department
is
offering
flu
vaccines
to
people
of
all
ages
limited
high
dose
flu
vaccines
are
also
going
to
be
offered.
You
can
call.
G
812-353-3244
to
make
an
appointment
this
week,
as
you
can
see
from
this
slide,
our
flu
shot
clinics
will
be
offered
in
four
different
locations
across
the
region.
The
flu
shot
clinics
are
free
of
charge
to
the
public
and
no
appointments
are
necessary,
so
again
check
out
the
locations
and
times
of
those
as
well,
and
just
as
a
note
on
that
iu,
health,
bloomington
and
our
community
health
team
have
vaccinated
11,
800
people
and
will
be
completing
50
000
vaccinations
over
the
next
few
months.
G
To
date,
the
optimum
serve
site
at
the
armory
has
completed
approximately
21
000
cova
tests
and
iu
health
has
completed
over
24
000
here
in
bloomington
by
us
working
together.
We
will
continue
to
have
a
greater
impact
on
the
communities
that
we
serve
so
we're.
We
are
very
proud
to
support
the
new
cove
testing
site
and
appreciate
all
the
great
work
that
our
community
continues
to
do
and
keeping
all
of
our
residents
safe.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
and
back
to
you
chuck.
C
Yes,
good
afternoon,
everybody,
yes
on
all
of
our
metrics,
as
the
mayor
mentioned
earlier,
all
of
our
metrics
showed
a
continued
downward
trend
for
the
fourth
week
in
a
row,
and
I
think
this
just
lays
evidence
to
what
penny
and
others
have
talked
about.
The
importance
of
why
we
we
keep
this
messaging
up
and
not
get
complacent
about
what
has
gotten
us
to
this
point
and
that
is
being
in
one
of
the
best
spots
any
place
and
on
a
university
campus
just
quickly.
C
I
think
folks
have
seen
the
numbers,
but
in
rps
in
our
residence
halls
we
went
from
1.5
down
to
1.2
percent.
Greek
housing
went
from
2.1
to
1.6
and
off
campus
point
0.9
to
0.5,
and
so
that's
really
good
numbers,
and
I
think
good
evidence
of
this
is
a
study
that
was
done.
This
past
week
was
released
from
our
colleagues
over
at
davidson
college.
C
C
So
that
means
that
indiana
university
is
at
in
six
percent
of
the
universities
across
the
country
with
over
five
thousand
students
that
are
that
are
doing
this.
So
that's
what's
kept
us
to
this
point
and-
and
I
hope
we'll
continue
to
and
we're
doubling
our
efforts.
C
As
I
mentioned
last
week,
we
expect
our
new
labs
in
bloomington
to
be
up
and
running
in
a
couple
of
weeks
and
we'll
be
able
to
double
at
least
our
testing
once
you
get
us
up
to
20
000
tests
a
week
and
again,
this
just
continues
to
help
us
find
where
there
are
infection
and
and
get
it
quarantined
and
isolated.
C
So
we
switched
over
to
flu.
That's
a
new
major
initiative
for
us
much
bigger
than
we've
ever
done
before,
and
flu
testing
today
has
started
I'll
put
the
link
in
there.
If
you
want
to
take
a
look
and
see
some
information,
the
iu
community,
students,
faculty
and
staff
can
log
on
to
the
link
from
this
site
that
I
just
listed.
You'll
need
your
iuid
login
and
you
can.
You
can
find
an
appointment
for
our
flu
clinics
they'll
be
out
at
simon
scott
assembly
hall.
C
They
started
today
the
clinic
did
this
mass
immunization
effort
and
we
expect
to
be
able
to
immunize
1
000
people
a
day.
It
was
right
at
a
thousand
had
made
reservations
already
now.
This
will
continue
tomorrow
and
then
the
next
date,
that's
up
on
the
calendar
is
the
17th,
so
we're
looking
at
friday,
saturdays,
more
or
less
so
I'd
encourage
everybody
in
the
university
community
to
make
that
appointment
or
do
it
in
the
private
sector
either.
C
One
just
get
her
done,
so
we
can
be
immunized
against
flu
and
knock
a
lot
of
this
confusion
down
between
flu
and
covet
and
ahead
cold
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So
that's
where
we
are
looking
good
this
week.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Well,
we
will
go
ahead
and
move
into
questions.
We
have
quite
a
few
already,
first
of
all,
from
the
b-square
beacon
for
mayor
hamilton
about
the
100
000
dollars
that
the
city
is
contributing
to
the
new
testing
center.
Where
is
that
money
coming
from?
Is
it
from
the
mayor's
office,
public
works,
esd
or
somewhere
else,
and
will
that
need
an
additional
appropriation
to
be
approved
by
the
city
council?.
B
Thanks
for
the
question
the
money
is
going
to
come
from,
the
federal
cares
act
appropriation,
which
is
basically
a
reimbursement
process
and,
like
many
of
the
carriers
act
expenditures,
we
certainly
keep
the
council
informed
and
I
actually
don't
know
exactly
whether
the
council
will
vote
on
that.
We
know
they're
a
full
partner
and
we'll
and
we'll
be
collaborating
with
it.
But
it's
it's
essentially
federal
cares
act
funding
that
is
made
available
through
the
state
to
the
local
governments
to
help
support
responses
to
covet.
A
That
was
essentially
emily
earnsberger
from
the
ht's
question
as
well,
but
following
up
on
that
for
kirk,
does
the
university's
100
thousand
dollars
need
approval
from
the
trustees.
C
I
don't
believe
so.
I
think
that
that
money
will
come
from
campus
operating
expenses
that
we
have
allocated
already
as
part
of
the
campus
budget
and,
of
course,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
we're
trying
to
keep
track
and
are
keeping
track
quite
a
ledger
of
expenses
for
coveted
mitigation
and
as
state
or
federal
reimbursement
funding
would
become
become
available,
we'll
be
applying
for
that.
We
don't
know
where
that
might
be.
C
But
at
this
point
this
investment
for
us
in
the
community
is
just
part
of
the
partnership
that
we
value
with
the
city
and
the
county,
and,
as
you
can
see,
I
noticed
in
today's
herald
times,
for
example,
emily
that
good
reporting
about
the
who
the
age
groups
that
are
taking
advantage
of
the
test
site
at
the
optum
site-
and
you
can
see
that
that
20
to
30
age
group
is,
is
taking
good
advantage
of
that.
C
And
so
this
is
another
reason
why
the
university
thinks
it's
a
good
investment
for
for
our
funds.
E
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
that
the
county
is
also
putting
in
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
from
what
will
be
cares
funding,
but
as
an
fyi.
We're
also
going
to
be
submitting
this
for
reimbursement
through
fema,
and
if
that
reimbursement
happens,
we
will
go
ahead
and
reimburse
iu
and
the
city
what
fema
reimburses
us
for
so
we're
still
pursuing
other
options.
But
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
this
that
this
project
could
proceed.
So
we
do
appreciate
everybody's
willingness
to
support
it.
Thank
you.
B
We
appreciate
you
submitting
to
fema
that's
nice.
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
say
too.
It's
a
reminder,
incredibly,
frustrating
that
the
federal
government
seems
stuck
in
sitting
on
his
hands,
particularly
administration,
not
continuing
to
support
more
response
money
for,
for
including
local
governments
and
state
and
institutions
of
higher
learning
to
help
continue
this
response,
which
is
ongoing,
and
it's
going
to
keep
keep
having
demands
on
us
for
quite
some
time.
Thanks.
A
Question
for
penny
from
emily
earnsberger
at
the
ht.
Will
people
be
hired
to
conduct
tests
at
the
site
and
is
that
some
of
iu's
in-kind
support.
A
D
It
right
now
will
not
offer
rapid
testing.
That's
not
part
of
the
grant
agreement.
The
state
will
be
providing
the
tests
and
the
couriers
and
the
labs
fees
for
that
it
is
downtown.
It's
in
a
convenient
location,
walk
drive,
you
know
off
the
b
line,
but
we
you
know
it's
not
a
secret.
We,
but
the
space
is
not
open
yet,
and
so
we
would
just
say:
wait
when
we
can
announce
exactly
where
and
when
and
how
to
register.
A
D
Well,
from
a
local
health
department
standpoint,
I
think
one
of
the
the
things
that
we
have
seen
in
communities,
not
just
ours,
but
the
state
early
on
is
that
the
mask
requirements
has
made
a
big
difference
and
when
people
wear
them
and
they
maintain
that
distance,
they
have
those
things
in
place.
D
You
know
we've
got
smaller
gathering
size
limits
than
the
state
does.
Those
are
all
things
that
I
think
will
help
us
move
forward
in
a
better
way
the
board
of
health
met
last
night.
They
are
not
changing
any
of
any
of
our
local
regulations
at
this
time,
so
we
still
have
the
same
gathering
size
limits.
We
still
have
all
of
those
same
things
in
place
and
and
we'll
keep
them.
So
even
if
indiana
were
to
remove
the
mass
mandate
after
the
17th
of
this
month,
it
would
still
be
in
place
locally.
D
I
would
hope
that
that
will
stay
in
place
for
a
period
of
time
until
we
are
clear
that
we're
you
know
in
a
much
better
place
for
a
continued
period
of
time
and
as
we've
already
heard
on
here
from
several
of
us
we're
coming
into
flu
season,
and
that
makes
it
a
lot
scarier
in
terms
of
how
do
we
we
don't
know
right
last
year,
this
really
started.
D
We
were
kind
of
on
that
back
end
of
flu
season,
and
so
we
know
that
we
had
a
hard
hard
way
to
go
in
the
spring
when
we
were
in
flu
season
and
we're
just
starting
flu
season.
So
that's
why
it's
important
to
vaccinate.
Keep
these
things
going.
I
know
it's
difficult.
I
think
we
we
would
all
love
to
be
able
to
say
that
I
don't
have
to
wear
my
mask
anymore.
I
don't
have
to
worry
about
how
close
I'm
standing
to
you,
but
the
reality
is.
B
Thank
you,
I
would
just
add,
look
with
two
things
right
in
front
of
us.
One
is,
as
penny
cottle
just
said,
the
flu
season
arriving
in
serious
measure
and
two,
the
very
significant
data
of
statewide
cases.
I
just
do
not
believe
it's
responsible
for
the
state
to
loosen
restrictions
in
the
face
of
both
of
those
things.
I
think
we
tried
locally.
We
focused
with
the
health
experts
having
focused
on
that
the
mask
requirement,
which
we
know
helps
and
the
super
spreader
event
restrictions
by
gathering
sizes.
B
Those
two
simple
things
seem
to
be
helping
and
for
the
state
to
move
away
from.
That
is
just
not
responsible.
Look
local
governments,
including
ours,
and
all
across
the
state.
People
are
working
their
tails
off
and
doing
doing
as
best
we
can,
and
we
have
a
amazing
talent
and
capabilities
here
in
monroe
county
with
the
university
and
iu
health
adding
to
the
health
department
and
governments,
but
that's
not
typical
across
the
state.
At
the
national
level,
we
should
have
had
a
national
mass
mandate
long
ago,
and
it
should
be
these.
B
Are
these
mask
mandates
and
and
restricting
super
spreader
events?
Are
the
cost
of
them
is
not
that
high?
The
benefits
of
them
seem
to
be
very
significant
and
the
fact
that
the
state
is
moving
in
the
opposite
direction
in
the
face
of
flu
season
and
rising
significantly
rising
positive
cases.
Just
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
The
governor
has
said:
well,
it's
different
around
the
state,
so
different
locales
can
do
what
they
think
is
right,
which
is
good
that
he
has
said
that.
B
But
we
don't
all
have
this
expertise
and
it
really
should
be
a
statewide
control.
It
really
should
be
a
national,
more
national
controls
and
the
fact
that
the
united
states
has
had
more
deaths
per
capita
than
any
developed
country
in
the
world
shows.
We
haven't
managed
this
well
and
it's
dependent
upon
local
governments
to
step
up
with
with
local
health
officials
and
partners
which
we
have,
but
it
shouldn't
be
laid
in
our
laps,
and
I
I'm
sorry
that
the
state
is
moving
in.
What
I
think
is
the
wrong
direction
at
this
time.
A
So
penny
I
I
am
slow
on
the
uptake
sometimes,
and
so
I
think
I
missed
the
acronym
the
first
time
we
got
a
question
about
it,
so
the
acronym
as
I
understand
it,
is
smash.
Can
you
explain
that
again.
D
And
it
is
smash
its
social
distancing
so
that
we
kind
of
like
the
term
physical
distancing
better.
But
you
know
physical
dis,
social
distancing.
Excuse
me
six
feet
so
maintaining
that
six
feet.
The
m
is
for
masks
continuing
to
wear
your
masks.
The
a
is
for
avoiding
crowds.
As
the
mayor
said,
those
super
spreader
events
right,
but
any
kind
of
crowd
that
might
put
you
at
risk
and
s
is
for
staying
at
home
when
you
are
ill
and
the
h
is
for
hand
washing.
C
Okay,
penny
who's,
the
author
of
that
again.
D
A
So
yeah
since
and
mayor
hamilton
suggests
that
s
for
six
feet
is
an
alternative
construction
or
just
say
a
match.
If
you
want
physical
distancing
at
the
start
of
it,
so
we
I
I'm
happy
to
take
more
questions
if
we
have
some
still
have
a
few
minutes
here.
So
I
will
do
my
my
vamp
here
for
a
moment
as
I
watch
for
questions
to
come
in,
I'm
sure
that
we
will
get
one
or
two
here
kirk.
A
C
Yes,
that's
right.
In
fact,
we
will
have
some
type
of
arrival
testing
again,
as
we
get
back
to
february
february,
7th,
when
we'll
have
the
some
of
the
in-person
class
or
the
the
classes
that
that
have
an
in-person
component
that
will
start
february
7th
and
so
what
we're
going
to
do
some
level
of
arrival
testing,
but
we're
we're
working
out
the
plan
for
that
at
the
at
the
moment
and
again
I'd
remind
everybody
that
we
don't
have
fall
break
and
we
don't
have
spring.
D
C
We
we'll
we'll
end
the
in-person
segment
for
for
fall
semester
right
right
the
week
before
thanksgiving
and
there
will
be
no
in-person
instruction
until
february
7th.
So
again,
there's
that
intercession
the
winter
session
that's
new
this
year
and
we're
encouraging
our
students
to
sign
up
for
classes
to
consider
which
ones
they
could
take
to
continue
their
academic
progress.
The
good
part
about
that
is
that
the
the
fees
for
those
classes
for
the
winter
intersession
are
going
to
be
included
in
your
fall
or
spring
semester
package,
so
there's
no
additional
cost.
C
B
I
was,
I
was
just
gonna
to
add
and
kind
of
circling
back
a
little
bit
about
the
state
question.
You
know
every
county
of
the
92
counties
in
indiana
has
county
commissioners.
I
guess
marion
county
is
a
little
different
with
that,
but
and
most
have
cities
with
leadership
and
all
have
a
county
health
department.
Noting
again
that
our
county
health
departments
are
the
lowest
funded
per
capita
in
the
in
the
country.
So
we
they're
doing
incredible
things,
and
you
know
all
the
government
entities
are
working
hard.
B
I
think
it's
it's
important
to
note
and
worth
noting
that
here
in
our
community
we
have
two
extraordinary
partners
with
indiana

That
is
not
typical
in
most
counties
to
have
that
kind
of
resource
and
the
the
commitment
that
they've
made
the
energy
that
they
have
put
into
helping
respond
over
the
last
seven
months
to
this
is
just
extraordinary
and
unusual.
B
It's
been
a
big
part
of
why
this
community
has
been
able
to
handle
a
lot
of
complicated
challenges
so
far
so
well,
and
I
just
want
officially
and
publicly
to
acknowledge,
of
course,
the
governmental
entities
work
together,
as
we
always
do
well
in
coordinating
responses
to
this
from
emergency
management
to
health.
The
commissioners,
council,
city,
council,
county
council
mayor's
office,
but
these
two
extraordinary
partners
have
been
really
important
and
they've
been
essential
to
help
us
show
the
curve
that
we've
been
able
to
show-
and
I
want
to
thank
them.
A
Well,
we
are
most
definitely
in
this
together
for
sure.
Well,
we
seeing
no
other
questions
we'll
go
ahead
and
wrap
it
up
there.
We
will
return
again
next
week
at
noon
on
friday
to
talk
about
the
latest
in
the
effort
against
the
pandemic.
So
thanks
for
everybody
for
joining
us.
Thank
you
chuck
thanks.
