B
Penny
with
that
rain
coming
in
first
and
then
that
snow
later,
we'll
we're
going
to
do
some
pre-treating
and
we'll
probably
have
guys
out
all
night.
I
haven't
touched
base
with
toby
yet,
but
will
this
afternoon,
but
we'll
hopefully
have
all
those
roads
cleared
for
you.
I
have
no
doubt
you
get
up
early,
but
I
maybe
will
be
going
to
bed
about
the
time
you
get.
D
D
A
No
problem:
I
need
to
fix
a
mic
issue
here
for
just
a
moment.
I'll
be
right
with
with
everybody
we'll
get.
A
A
Okay,
I
think
the
gang's
all
here
we'll
get
one
so
we'll
need
to
julie.
I
think
you
may
need
to
mute
there,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
mute.
You
so
welcome
everybody
to
our
weekly
briefing
about
the
covet
1919
pandemic
with
indiana
university,
indiana,
university,
health
city
of
bloomington
and
monroe
county,
I'm
chuck
carney,
director
of
media
relations
for
indiana
university,
and
we
will
take
media
questions
after
opening
comments.
As
usual,
we'll
start
off
again
as
usual,
with
bloomington
mayor
john
hamilton,.
H
H
I
will
note
we
seem
to
see
stabilization
in
those
numbers
which
had
increased
quite
a
bit
in
early
december
mid-december,
but
they
seem
to
be
stabilizing.
I
hope
that's
the
case
certainly
emphasizes
the
need
for
continued
vigilance,
as
we
all
protect
with
masking
and
distancing
vaccinations
are
definitely
underway
in
our
workforce,
particularly
with
police
and
fire
fighters.
H
Indeed,
54
percent
of
our
firefighters
have
now
gotten
their
vaccinations,
including
some
have
actually
completed
their
second
dose.
I
don't
have
that
data
yet
for
police
on
the
percentage,
but
I
hope
to
have
that
next
week
for
you
to
keep
track
of
our
employees,
vaccinations
and
additional
programs
like
the
rapid
response
fund.
The
loan
fund
is
continuing
in
operations.
Nearly
two
million
dollars
made
available
and
continued
support
for
our
social
safety
net
through
recover
forward
and
other
approaches.
H
You
know,
I
believe
so
strongly
and
in
transparency
this
I
so
appreciate
this
weekly
event
to
do
that.
It's
important
to
hit
some
of
the
numbers
that
we
see
in
indiana,
80
percent
of
the
counties,
are
rated
three
or
above
on
the
indiana
map.
I
know
you
all
have
access
to
that.
There
are
only
three
counties
in
the
state
currently
ranked
two
or
below,
and
that
is
includes
monroe
county,
we're
the
only
urban
county
so
rated.
So
thanks
again
to
people
for
all
the
good
work.
H
There
are
some
areas
of
local
concern.
There
are
now
five
positive
cases
in
the
isolation,
shelter,
and
there
are
some
indications
we've
seen,
and
I
don't
know
if
penny
cottle
gets
this
too
about
group
home
numbers
from
some
of
the
providers
in
group
homes
that
emphasize
the
importance
to
keep
watching.
H
On
the
other
hand,
as
I
often
talk
about
state
data
and
again,
this
is
available
to
everybody,
but
just
to
emphasize
really
since
early
or
mid-december,
as
we've
seen
now,
some
trends
actually
at
the
state
level
cases,
deaths
and
hospitalizations
are
all
mitigating.
To
some
degree
we
don't
know
if
that's
steady,
but
it's
better
than
the
opposite,
which
we
saw
really
through
the
fall.
I
hope
that
stays
it.
Certainly
it
will
only
stay
with
our
continued
work
on
the
two
big
things
we
need
to
keep
doing
and
thanks
to
all
who
do
it?
H
One
is
the
protective
actions
of
masking
distancing,
good
hygiene
staying
home
when
sick,
not
sharing
air
when
we
don't
need
to,
and
second
of
course,
vaccinations
and
I'm
sure
we'll
go
through
those
numbers.
The
state
database
list
5700
5800
vaccinations
locally.
I
know
our
our
sources
are
a
little
more
up
to
date,
that
than
that
and
we'll
hear
that
which
is
outstanding
to
keep
that
flowing
from
iu
health
from
the
county,
health
department
and
others,
and
also,
I
know
we're
going
to
hear.
H
A
Okay
and
in
fact
I
think
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
go
to
kirk
white,
because
any
moment
now
there
will
be
a
news
release
coming
out
that
has
to
do
with
those
plans
so
kirk.
Why
don't
you
address
that.
G
Great
chuck,
that's
thank
you
mayor.
That's
pretty
good
transition!
Well,
I,
I
guess
I'll
just
lead
with
that
one
over
the
past
several
weeks
and
really
months
as
we've
discussed,
how
best
to
make
the
vaccine
available
and
how
important
it
is
for
us
to
to
get
vaccinated
and
and
get
our
economy
and
our
our
population
safe
again.
G
The
university
has
been
looking
closely
at
how
best
to
do
that
and
we
realized,
as
the
plan
started,
to
unfold
from
the
federal
state
and
local
levels,
that
this
was
going
to
be
an
all
hands
on
deck
project,
and
so
we've
been
looking
over
the
past
several
weeks
to
figure
out
how
best
for
us
to
to
vaccinate
our
own
population,
but
at
the
same
time
we've
we've
been
asked
by
the
university
administration
and
provost
rebel
at
the
executive.
G
Vice
president
provost
for
bloomington
asked
us
particularly
to
take
a
look
and
see
how
could
we
make
this
available
to
the
community
as
well,
and
we
figured
out
that
we
can
do
that.
We've
looked
at
the
great
success
that
we've
had
in
mitigation
testing
and
and
flu
shot
administration,
so
we're
just
announcing
today.
G
G
We're
going
to
make
the
university
campus
vaccine
administration
sites
available
to
the
general
public
as
well.
So,
in
addition
to
vaccinating
our
own
population,
we'll
be
able
to
to
add
one
more
site
to
that
that
those
that
list
of
locations
that
you
find
when
you
go
to
our
shop.in.gov
and
look
for
the
places
in
monroe
county
iu
is
going
to
be
on
that
site
just
as
soon
as
we
can
get
vaccine
supply
and
depending
those
final
requirements
and
approvals
from
the
states.
G
So
we're
very
excited
about
that
and
I
think
our
track
record
working
this
past
semester
is
going
to
show
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
meet
the
challenge
of
helping
the
community
in
the
region,
as
well
as
being
a
a
large
vaccination
site.
So
we're
very
excited
about
that
and
now
let
me
let
me
move
over
to
how
we're
doing
with
mitigation
testing
that
continues.
G
Last
week
we
we
tested
7
700
of
our
students,
faculty
and
staff
and
we're
consistently
below
one
percent
on
the
infection
rates.
So
that's
a
really
good
sign
so
far.
It
sets
us
up
good
for
to
be
in
a
good
position
to
restart
the
semester
and
remind
everybody
that
next
tuesday,
the
spring.
G
Officially
begins
and
that
will
begin
with
all
distance
learning
for
the
first
three
weeks
and
then
on
february,
8th,
we'll
go
back
to
having
in-person
classes
for
those
that
were
able
to
have
on
the
campus
as
well,
so
we're
we
feel
like
we're
in
pretty
good
shape,
for
that
and
the
move-in
week
will
be
the
30th
of
january,
so
the
campus
will
start
to
come
alive
with
congregant
living
in
the
in
the
residence
halls
and
greek
houses.
At
that
time,
our
restart
plans
are
are
on
track.
G
We
feel
confident
about
those
and
we're.
We
will
continue
to
stay
vigilant
and
and
monitor
and
adjust
things
as
we
need
to.
So.
Thank
you
for
for
the
opportunity
today
and
I'll
be
pleased
to
answer
questions.
A
Okay,
thanks
kirk
and
the
link
to
that
news.
Release
about
the
the
vaccine
sites
is
in
the
chat
for
those
of
you
on
the
zoom
call.
Let's
next
tech
check
what
is
going
on
in
monroe
county
with
penny
caudle.
D
Good
afternoon
thanks,
and
certainly
thank
you
kirk
and
the
university-
we're
very
excited
to
be
able
to
add
additional
opportunities
for
all
of
our
residents
to
be
vaccinated
when
they
are
eligible,
and
the
first
thing
that
I
will
say
to
everybody
again
is
be
patient.
It's
coming,
it
will
come
to
you
and
you
do
need
an
appointment.
So
you
can
visit
ourside.in.gov
to
schedule
your
appointment.
If
you
are
unable
to
do
that
and
you
need
help
2-1-1,
you
can
call
2-1-1
and
someone
will
assist
you
in
making
that
appointment.
D
But
we
do
need
people
to
schedule
those
appointments
things
around
that
may
change,
as
as
more
vaccine
is
available
and
things
roll
out.
But
that's
that's
the
system
that
we
need
everyone
to
operate
with
at
the
moment,
and
so
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
add
additional
sites
for
individuals
and
that
that's
been
in
our
plans
all
along
to
have
a
variety
of
closed
opportunities
using
businesses
that
have
employee
health
clinics.
D
So
we
are
excited
about
that
and
we're
excited
that
we
were
able
to
open
our
clinic
at
the
convention
center.
This
week
monday,
we
opened,
we
served
70
people
had
kind
of
a.
What
I'm
going
to
say
is
maybe
a
little
soft
opening.
It
went
very,
very
smooth
people.
Even
on
wednesday.
We
had
a
longer
wait,
but
things
still
went
very
well.
They
went
smoothly.
People
were
very
grateful,
commented
that
it
was
well
organized
and
and
going
smoothly.
D
So
we
every
day
after
we
have
those
clinics
we
think
about
what
we
can
do
better
and
and
look
to
do
better.
So
we
did
70
on
monday.
We
did
289
on
wednesday
and
we
have
over
140
scheduled
for
tomorrow,
which
is
a
half
day.
So
we
continue
and
to
adjust
the
schedule.
We
have
to
kind
of
try
to
figure
out
what
that
I'm
going
to
say,
sweet
spot
is
for
us
to
be
able
to
handle
now
and
then
handle
the
additional
second
doses,
along
with
first
doses
that
come
in
another
month,
the
state.
D
So
as
as
you
go
on,
and
you
may
see
that
there
are
no,
no
appointments,
keep
checking
back,
because
those
appointments
will
open
up
as
vaccine
flows
and
that's
just
an
important
thing
to
keep
in
mind.
We're
not
scheduling
appointments
when
we
don't
have
vaccine.
So
keep
that
in
mind.
It
will
come
check
back
and
the
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
say
about
that
make
sure
we've
had
some
people
go
to
the
testing
site,
thinking
that
they
were
getting
their
vaccination
there
and
in
some
cases,
people.
Actually
they
scheduled
a
test.
D
They
went
on
the
website
to
schedule
a
vaccination
and
they
ended
up
with
on
the
testing
side
of
things
and
made
an
appointment
for
a
test
and
didn't
realize
that
so
just
say
check
very
closely
as
you're.
You
know
reviewing
everything
before
you
exit
out
and
some
people
have
caught
it
afterwards
and
they've.
Let
us
know:
we've
been
able
to
cancel
and
and
get
them
rescheduled
for
the
appropriate
thing,
but
just
wanted
to
share
that
information
so
that
people
are
aware
to
that.
D
Something
to
watch
for
I've
mentioned
before
the
state
is
using
an
age-based
approach
in
terms
of
eligibility,
because
the
goal
is
to
reduce
hospitalizations
and
deaths
first,
that
that's
kind
of
that
front
line.
So
obviously
we
know
we
started
with
eligibility
for
frontline
healthcare
workers
or
first
responders,
most
of
our
hospitalizations,
and
our
deaths
are
in
people
who
are
80
and
over
70
and
over,
and
so
that's
how
they
are
rolling
out
these
groups.
D
That's
what
we're
expecting
and
after
that,
the
state
is
looking
for
where
they
go
from
there.
What
kind
of
do
we
look
at
underlying
conditions
which
underlying
conditions
and
those
kinds
of
things,
but
looking
at
the
data
to
try
to
drive
those
decisions
on
who's
eligible
when
so
again,
we're
still
working
on
the
the
scheduling
bear
with
us
but
stay
tuned,
and
we
will
continue
to
operate,
that
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
add
additional
sites
so
that
people
have
options.
D
We
continue
to
adapt
and
look
at
our
plans
for
doing
outreach
and
meeting
people
that
may
not
be
able
to
come
to
us.
The
state
is
also
engaging
with
federally
qualified
health,
centers
and
pharmacies
to
come
on
board
in
the
future
as
well,
and
all
of
it
depends
obviously
on
the
amount
of
vaccine
that
is
available
to
us.
D
I
also
want
to
remind
you
to
remember
to
keep
wearing
your
masks
and
distancing.
We
still
need
those
prevention
mess
measures
for
the
short
term,
at
least
so,
just
because
people
are
being
vaccinated.
It
does
not
mean
that
any
of
us
vaccinated
or
not
should
stop
wearing
our
masks
or
distancing
staying
home
when
we're
sick.
We
still
need
to
do
all
of
those
things.
D
The
other
thing
that
I
will
say
in
terms
of
testing
site
we've
had
some
reports.
Certainly
the
numbers
of
people
being
tested
at
the
optum
site
and
the
community
testing
site
vary
from
day
to
day,
but
over
the
past
few
days
or
week,
we've
seen
some
decreases.
So
I'd
encourage
people
to
still
remember
those
testing
sites
are
there
for
you.
If
you
are
close
contact,
if
you're
symptomatic,
please
get
tested,
if
you
think
you
may
have
been
exposed
or
you're
just
concerned,
certainly
take
advantage
of
that
opportunity
to
get
get
tested.
D
Our
community
site
on
morton
does
have
rapid
testing
available,
so
results
in
30
minutes
or
less
for
people
who
are
symptomatic
in
the
last
seven
days
with
coved
like
symptoms.
So
please,
when
you
are
eligible,
consider
getting
vaccinated,
be
patient
with
us
and
all
of
the
sites.
Right
now
I
would
say
if
you
have
mobility
issues,
the
convention
center
is
a
better
option
for
you.
D
Unless
maybe
you
have
someone
who
is
helping
you
get
get
in
and
out,
but
we
we
are
all
here
to
serve
you
and
and
happy
to
be
getting
that
vaccine
out.
Thank
you.
F
Thompson,
thank
you
so
much
chuck
and
again
thanks
everyone
for
being
here.
I
just
have
a
few
updates
for
you
today.
First
of
all,
just
so
everyone's
aware,
we
are
still
providing
grant
money
to
businesses
and
social
service
agencies
in
the
community
to
cover
covert
related
expenses
that
are
non-payroll.
F
These
are
grants,
not
loans,
and
so
far
this
year
we
have
10
467
dedicated
for
businesses
and
taxing
units
are
also
getting
some
additional
help
to
the
tune
of
eleven
thousand
three
hundred
and
seventy
seven
dollars.
I
will
note
that
the
entire
program
to
date
we
have
granted
four
hundred
eighty
one
thousand
seven
hundred
fifty
nine
dollars
and
four
cents.
So
we're
really
proud
of
that,
and
thank
you
to
our
council
colleagues
for
helping
us
make
this
happen.
F
If
you
are
a
business
or
social
service
agency
in
the
community,
and
you
need
assistance,
please
go
to
co,
co.monroe.in.us
and
fill
out
the
paperwork,
the
form
and
you
will
be
asked
for
specific
documentation.
So
please
do
that.
F
Also,
we
are
still
helping
our
township
trustees,
provide
assistance
for
residents
in
the
community
to
ensure
that
they
have
shelter
utilities
and
the
basic
necessities
of
life
if
every
county
resident
is
a
township
resident.
So
please
contact
your
township
trustee.
If
you
need
assistance,
they
have
additional
funding
from
the
county
to
provide
that
assistance.
F
I
will
also
note
that
part
of
the
national
day
of
remembrance
for
those
lost
to
covid
that
day
is
tuesday,
the
19th
of
january.
F
We
are
having
a
local
ceremony
recognition
for
to
remember
those
we've
lost
decoded
in
our
county,
that's
more
than
a
hundred
souls
which
is
just
startling
and
at
five,
so
at
5
30
pm
the
courthouse
will
be
lit
in
purple
and
we
will
ring
the
bell
for
each
life
lost.
We
just
ask
our
residents
to
take
a
moment
and
pause
at
5
30
to
think
about
all
those
families
and
friends
and
our
community
and
what
we've
lost
this
year.
F
We
also
are
inviting
houses
of
worship
to
join
us
with
bells
lights
or
anything
else
they
deem
appropriate
as
well
at
5
30
on
tuesday.
We
will
be
streaming.
This
live
on
facebook,
so
go
to
the
commissioner's
facebook
page
and
take
a
look,
so
we
appreciate
community
joining
us
for
that.
We'll
know
we'll
all
be
together
in
spirit
we're
not
going
to
be
meeting
on
the
courthouse
grounds,
though.
F
F
So
we
appreciate
that
and
a
big
thank
you
again
to
the
convention
center.
We
approved
that
contract,
although
they
have
been
very
gracious
and
that
in
providing
the
vaccine
site.
So
we
really
do
appreciate
the
convention
center
and
all
their
hard
work
to
make
this
happen,
and
they've
really
done
a
great
job.
Setting
this
up
and
supporting
the
effort
to
vaccine
to
vaccinate
our
county
residents
also
just
a
quick
reminder
to
go
to
co.monroe.ian.us
and
send
up
sign
up
for
the
resident
alert
system.
We
are
sending
health
orders
or
health
information.
F
Vaccine
information
has
gone
out
on
that,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
sign
up
for
text
call
or
email
or
all
of
the
above,
you
are
invited
to
do
so.
It's
also
a
good
time
to
to
do
so,
because
we
we
post
travel,
advisories
related
to
the
weather
and
the
status
of
our
roadways
in
the
county.
F
So
that
should
also
be
a
big
help
to
you,
especially
this
weekend,
as
we
are
expecting
some
some
snow,
so
a
reminder
that
the
martin
luther
king
jr
holiday
is
on
monday,
please
if
you
can
volunteer
with
your
time
day
on
not
a
day
off,
but
do
so
safely.
We
thank
all
the
residents
who
continue
to
physically
distance
and
wear
their
face
coverings
and
support
the
great
work
of
all
of
the
entities
represented
on
this
call
thanks.
Everyone
we'll
take
questions.
B
Thanks
chuck,
I'm
just
using
audio
today,
we
are
fortunate
that
we
were
able
to
receive
additional
supplies
through
some
of
our
state
resources
and
traveled
to
indianapolis
and
were
able
to
pick
up
those
supplies.
Many
of
those
supplies
are
going
to
our
local
law
enforcement
and
local
fire
departments
to
keep
them
safe,
as
they
continue
to
serve
the
public
in
this
pandemic,
and
other
supplies
will
be
readily
available
through
the
monroe
county
emergency
management
office.
B
We
also
are
readily
available
for
this
possible
weather.
That's
coming
it's
already
kind
of
snarting
to
snow
flurries,
since
I'm
out
and
about
and
on
the
northern
part
of
the
county.
B
As
we
come
back,
all
of
our
trucks
are
out
and
about
and
they're
doing
lots
of
pre-treating
in
the
highway
throughout
the
county,
and
I
know
that
our
city
street
department
and
ellisville
as
well
will
be
readily
available
to
try
to
get
our
roads
in
great
condition,
but
we
encourage
you
to
stay
home
and
keeping
this
call
covid
related
I'd
like
to
just
say.
B
If,
for
some
reason
you
do
have
to
be
out,
we
encourage
you,
you
know
at
all
times
to
have
on
that
face
covering,
but
this
might
be
a
great
time
just
to
stay
home,
stay
off
our
roads
and
let
those
trucks
do
the
work
to
keep
those
roads
clean
over
the
next
couple
days
as
weather
does
come
in
our
area.
We
have
two
blood
drives
scheduled
for
january,
the
21st
and
the
28th,
and
then
we
also
have
a
blood
drive
that
the
city
hosts
every
wednesday
at
city
hall.
B
You
can
schedule
for
any
blood
drive
in
monroe
county
at
the
redcross.org
website
for
a
slot
and
make
a
donation.
If
you
can
make
that
contribution,
it
definitely
helps
our
county
as
blood
is
continuing
to
be
low
due
to
covet
efforts
of
our
hospital,
and
that's
all
I
have
chuck.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
Okay-
and
I
am
against
the
incoming
weather
that
we
are
facing-
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
in
saying
that
let's
go
to
brian
shakney
and
check
on
iu
health,
so.
E
I'll
be
the
opposite,
I'm
excited
for
this
snow.
I
can
feel
the
excitement
building
in
me
to
be
able
to
build
a
snowman
or
do
something
we
don't
get
it
that
often
and
when
we
do
it's,
it's
exciting
in
the
shaking
household,
I'm
also
excited
for
the
vaccine
and
all
the
things
that
are
going
on
to
get
us
out
of
this
pandemic.
E
We
continue
to
see
a
steady
decline
in
our
volume
over
the
past
week
in
our
inpatients,
which
is
a
great
news
and
there
in
monroe
county
as
well
we're
seeing
a
decline
this
week.
So
we're
again
some
excitement
we
have
guarded,
but
we
are
excited
to
see
those
numbers
come
down.
As
of
yesterday,
our
iu
health
icu
statewide
we're
at
81
percent
occupied
regionally
and
our
icu's
also
reach
statewide
81,
and
that
was
the
same
for
our
icu
here
at
iu
health
bloomington.
E
So,
while
our
inpatient
says
this
remains
steady,
the
worst
of
covid
isn't
over
and
as
I've
stated
in
this
press
conference
several
times
over
the
past
year,
cove
devastating
results
can
end
in
the
death
of
a
loved
ones,
family,
neighbors
and
friends.
E
E
It's
our
the
the
virus
is
here,
but
the
vaccine
is
our
hope
for
the
future,
but,
most
importantly
that
we
need
to
continue
to
wear
our
masks.
We
need
to
physically
and
socially
distance
practice
terrific
hygiene
and
decrease
all
opportunities
to
come
in
contact
with
someone
outside
of
your
immediate
circle
of
influence.
E
As
alison
said,
this
might
be
a
good
time
to
stay
home
and
play
in
the
snow.
My
personal
and
professional
plea
to
each
of
you
is
to
get
this
fat
vaccine
when
your
opportunity
comes
in
the
meantime
again,
you
know
what
to
do
so.
We
are
excited
to
see
the
public's
interest
in
receiving
the
coven
19
vaccine.
This
is
the
important
step
in
fighting
the
pandemic.
E
As
of
last
night,
our
coven
19
vaccine
clinic
at
iuf
bloomington,
has
utilized
over
thousand
five
hundred
and
sixty
five
of
the
eleven
thousand
two
hundred
and
twenty
five
total
vaccines
we've
received.
That's
seventy
six
point:
three
percent
of
the
available
supply
at
the
end
of
our
saturday
clinic,
we
will
have
given
over
ten
thousand
vaccines
we
have
been
given,
for
which
means
that's
81,
over
81
percent
of
our
distribution
of
all
vaccine.
E
In
addition,
starting
next
week,
the
iu
health
site
will
add
additional
vaccine
vaccine
slots.
Just
as
we
have
each
week
remember
our
first
day
we
started
with
15
vaccines.
Next
week
we
will
begin
to
offer
over
700
vaccines
per
day.
Those
are
among
the
most
who
are
excited
to
drive
toward
the
end
of
this
pandemic.
E
The
indiana
state
department
of
health
will
continually
ship
additional
vaccines
at
the
beginning
of
each
week,
based
on
the
demand
and
those
that
are
scheduled
so
keep
scheduling
when
there
are
open
spots
keep
coming,
because
the
vaccine
will
continue
to
arrive
here
in
monroe
county.
For
all
of
us
to
be
able
to
vaccinate
you.
We
continue
to
see
minimal
side
effects
from
the
vaccine.
E
Most
people
just
get
a
sore
arm
or
have
some
discomfort
for
a
little
while
in
their
arm,
and
this
goes
away
within
12
hours
or
so,
and
I
do
want
to
update
you
on
a
couple
of
items
related
to
our
vaccine
site
located
at
the
iu
health,
medical
arts
building.
It
is
on
619,
west
first
street
we
have
produced
a
video
that
will
help
all
of
those
coming
to
our
site
to
more
easily
find
us
and
know
the
process
of
how
to
turn
in
and
park
and
how
to
pull
out
this.
E
This
picture
on
your
screen
shows
the
site
on
the
map,
but
we,
this
video,
will
be
posted
on
our
website
so
that
you
will
be
able
to
go
on
the
website
and
see
how
you
drive
up
how
you
park
actually
go
in
the
process
you
go
through
to
help.
You
understand
how
to
navigate
and
we've
had
some
confusion
around
that
and
want
to
be
sure
that
when
you
come,
you
can
get
easily
here
and
get
your
vaccine
and
easily
get
back
to
your
home.
E
E
One
couple
we
saw
this
week
had
not
left
their
house
since
march,
and
now
they
feel
they
can
make
plans
again.
They
can
see
kids
again
spend
quality
time
with
their
grandkids,
because
the
holidays
were
not
the
same
again.
While
they
are
continuing
to
shelter
in
place.
They
know
that
there's
going
to
be
a
time
soon.
When
that
all
will
happen.
E
E
I
put
a
challenge
out:
let's
be
the
first
county
to
achieve
herd
immunity.
Thank
you
to
indiana
university.
Thank
you
to
everyone
who
is
working
to
get
people
to
the
vaccine
clinics,
those
who
are
scheduling,
those
who
are
continuing
to
expand
the
vaccine
for
our
community
and
for
our
people
that
need
it
most.
Thank
you
for
the
time
today
and
I
will
take
questions.
A
And
we
will
turn
to
questions
the
first
one
comes
from
dave,
askins,
the
b
square
beacon
this
one
addressed
to
penny
and
kirk.
Most
recent
three
weeks
of
data
really
seemed
to
show
that
the
volume
of
iu's
mitigation
testing
is
damping
down
the
positivity
rate
for
the
county.
This
isn't
new,
but
the
pattern
seems
even
more
clear
than
ever.
Has
there
been
any
update
from
the
state
department
of
health
on
the
idea
of
separating
out
iu's
mitigation
tests
for
iu?
D
Yeah
dave,
it's
a
good
question.
I
will
say
that
with
our
testing
sites,
I
know
with
our
morton
street
site.
The
positivity
rate
is
still
in
that
5
or
less
range.
So
that's
kind
of
good
information
for
us
to
have.
We
know
that,
with
the
large
volumes
that
the
university
does,
it
certainly
can
drive
down
our
positivity
rate.
D
I
have
not
heard
anything
more
from
the
state
and,
to
be
honest,
I
think,
with
how
quickly
the
you
know,
the
vaccine
is
here
and
trying
to
get
that
out,
that
that
is
probably
just
lower
on
their
priority
list.
But
I
I
will
say
this,
and
this
is
the
other
piece
of
the
equation.
We've
always
talked
about
not
looking
at
just
one
piece
of
information,
and
I
think
this
goes
to
your
point.
D
In
the
last
week
we
have
seen
our
cases
per
100
000
go
up
by
a
hundred,
so
you
know
we
are
one
of
three
counties
that
are
still
at
that
level:
two
which
is
orange,
which
is
better
than
most
of
the
state.
But
you
know
we
still
have
a
lot
of
community
spread.
We
know
that
indiana
has
seen
at
least
one
case
of
this
new
strain.
G
Well,
I
think
I
think
penny's
point
is-
is
good
that
we're
still
able
to
look
at
that
locally,
but
in
in
the
big
picture
we
we
need
to
look
at
the
university
as
the
university
community
really
is
part
of
the
larger
monroe
county
community,
because
just
because
we're
able
to
do
a
lot
more
testing,
I
think
you
know
our
numbers
probably
skew
a
little
lower
than
you'd
find
at
the
at
the
community
sites,
perhaps
because
we
are
sending
directives
to
our
students,
faculty
and
staff
to
show
up
or
you're
not
compliant
with
your
student
or
employment
agreement
so
where
in
the
community,
I
think
many
folks
have
a
tendency
to
perhaps
kind
of
even
skate
a
little
bit
on,
maybe
they're
a
little
symptomatic
and
show
up
at
one
of
the
community
testing
sites
which
we
do
not
want.
G
We
they
need
to
go
to
a
medical
site.
If
that's
the
case,
if
they're
symptomatic,
our
folks
are,
are
being
directed
to
come
on
on
a
more
or
less
random
basis,
and
if
they
don't
they,
they
have
sanctions.
So
it's
a
little
different
way.
We're
asking
our
people
to
show
up,
but
they're
still
a
huge
part
of
the
county
population.
G
A
H
If
I
might
just
add,
I
I
think
it's
a
good
question
about
how
that
state
data
is
done.
I
think
it
is
just
a
reminder
to
all
of
us
how
valuable
it
is
to
have
this
robust
background
mitigation
testing
going
on
of
thousands
of
people
in
our
community.
It's
what
we
would
have
liked
to
see
kind
of
nationwide,
frankly
from
the
beginning
to
have
these
monitors
of
regular
testing
and
if
it
goes
from
below
one
percent
to
three
percent.
H
All
of
a
sudden
I
mean
that's,
that's
a
huge,
an
important
indicator
and
it's
incredibly
beneficial
for
us
in
this
community
to
have
that
kind
of
major
background
testing
going
on.
We
appreciate
it.
A
Question
again
from
dave
askins
for
penny
and
brian
or
anyone
else,
he
says,
given
that
such
a
large
percentage
of
covid
deaths
are
among
older
people
when
large
numbers
of
older
people
are
vaccinated,
the
number
of
deaths
is
likely
to
plummet
they're
already
going
down.
Anyway,
that's
bound
to
have
an
impact
on
vigilance
for
basics,
like
distancing,
mask
wearing
hand
washing
have
you
thought
through
as
any
new
messaging
that
will
be
rolled
out
in
the
next
few
weeks.
D
I'll
go
first
it
certainly.
We
are
hoping
that
those
hospitalizations
and
death
rates
will
go
down
that
that
is
absolutely
what
we
want
and
you're
right
oftentimes.
We
see
that
when
we
see
positive
changes,
that
people
start
to
kind
of
relax
a
little
bit,
and
so
we
are
looking
at
messaging
how
we
can
do
that.
D
I
know
the
state
is
working
on
a
campaign
as
well,
so
there
are
some
other
things
coming
and
we
would
welcome
any
partners,
people
that
have
ideas
and
can
offer
help
with
those
kinds
of
things
to
be
a
good
partner
in
the
community
and
help
share
that
message
that
we
need
to
maintain
those
things
even
with
vaccine.
E
That
is
our
goal:
how
wonderful
that
we
could
cut
back
on
the
deaths
and
hospitalizations
for
our
most
elderly
population,
those
who
the
wisest
among
us
we
always
say,
but,
more
importantly,
actually,
since
we're
seeing
this
decline
in
in
patients
in
our
hospitals,
we're
actually
have
a
grid,
as
the
state
does
is
color
grid,
and
actually,
if
we
continue
to
see
this
decline
next
week,
we
will
actually
be
changing
our
visitation
policy
and
allowing
some
additional
visitors
into
the
facility
for
patients
and
with
patients.
So
you
know
there's
some.
E
There
are
young
people
who
also
this
affects
in
a
very
negative
way,
so
we
still
have
to
do
those
things,
but
it
does
allow
us
to
start
getting
back
to
things
such
as
allowing
family
members
at
the
bedside
who
are
so
crucial
to
that
care
of
that
patient
and
some
of
those
other
things
in
healthcare,
as
well
as
in
society
that
that
we
can
begin
to
do
again
that
we've
not
done
for
some
time
or
at
a
greater
number
than
we've
been
able
to
do
at
some
time.
A
Question
from
ethan
burks,
wfiu
wtiu
for
penny,
several
people
over
the
age
of
70
have
said
they
can't
schedule
a
vaccination
due
to
no
availability.
Some
are
even
having
trouble
getting
an
appointment
in
nearby
counties.
Can
you
speak
to
any
logistical
issues?
Your
department
is
seeing
and
is
there
anything
you'd
like
to
see
more
from
the
state
to
expedite
the
process.
D
Well,
it
is
a
complicated
logistical
process
that
is
is
for
sure,
and,
as
I
said,
they're
not
you
know
we,
we
don't
want
to
make
appointments
that
we
may
not
have
vaccine
for
so
they
do
kind
of
limit.
How
far
out
they
go.
We
talk
with
the
state
what
seems
like
daily
about
what
what
can
we
do,
and
so
we
had
a
conversation
today
about
scheduling
and
what's
what?
D
What
do?
Our
appointments
need
to
look
like
and
can
we
handle
more
again,
the
question
for
everyone,
but
certainly
for
us,
we
have
smaller
capacity,
is
whatever
we
do
now
in
a
in
a
month.
It's
going
to
be
double
that,
so
we
have
to
factor
that
in
so
it
may
seem
like
we
have
fewer
appointments
now,
because
we're
going
to
have
twice
that
in
another
month
and-
and
we
just
have
to
to
calculate
that,
so
we
are
continuing
every
day
after
we
have
clinic,
we
are
looking
at.
What
can
we
do
differently?
D
Can
we
add
staff,
and
so
we
are
working
to
to
do
that?
We
have
had
our
volunteers
have
been
fabulous.
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
them:
not
only
is
the
staff
with
iu
health
staff,
you
know
we
have
a
partnership
with
them,
so
our
nurses
are
are
their
nurses
and
they're,
terrific,
the
health
department,
staff's
terrific,
but
our
volunteers
have
just
been
fabulous
and
they
they're
very
excited
right
now
to
be
volunteering
as
well,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
would
say,
commissioner
thomas
mentioned
the
convention
center
again.
D
We
are
very
grateful
and
they
said
the
other
other
day
when,
when
I
was
there
that
delaware
county
heard
about
our
partnership
and
how
we
were
doing
our
clinic
at
the
convention
center
and
called
called
them
to
see
what
they
were
doing
and
how
they
were
doing
it
so
again,
we're
kind
of
a
model
for
that.
I
I
apologize
to
anybody
who's
having
a
difficulty.
D
A
Okay
waiting
for
some
more
questions
here,
we
have
a
few
more
minutes.
If
someone
wants
to
work
one
more
in,
we
did
have
a
question
from
facebook
about
the
percentage
of
deaths
in
nursing
homes,
and
we've
noted
in
the
chat
that
the
indiana
department
of
health
covet
19
long-term
care
dashboard
is
available
at
coronavirus.in.gov,
so
you
can
check
that
out
there
and
check
those
percentages
by
county,
and
that
includes
positive
cases.
A
Positivity
rates
and
deaths
again,
we'll
await
one
more
question
here
and
we
need
like
music
or
something
to
count
this
down
when
this
happens
but
be
happy
to
take
more
again.
If
you
missed
the
the
announcement
at
the
start
about
the
indiana
university
vaccine
site.
That
news
release
is
on
our
web
page
on
our
news
webpage
at
news.iu.edu
and
if
you're
on
the
zoom
call
it
is
in
the
chat
here
as
well
on
a
direct
link.
A
Well,
I
am
seeing
no
more
so
I'm
inclined
to
go
ahead
and
wrap
it
up
there.
We
will
be
back
again,
of
course,
next
friday
at
1
15,
with
more
information
about
the
covid19
pandemic.
Until
then,
everybody
have
a
good
weekend.
