Since December, Scott County has had 72 confirmed HIV cases and seven preliminary ones. Officials fear potentially up to 100 cases could be identified.
In past years, Scott County reported less than five new HIV cases each year and had just 21 residents with HIV in 2014, according to state statistics.
Geez would those little girls known as the Senate Pubbies please confirm that AG replacement already... MSNBC isn't going to keep that great time slot for "Eric Holder's America" open forever...
Geary is 85% uh.....URBAN.
Exactly. If this is a true “State of Emergency”, then the wise and prudent thing to do would be to quarantine all homos.
Mostly from IV drug use, if previous accounts I've read are correct. So? Diagnose them, and throw them in a locked facility to rot. Who cares?!?!?! In other news, Indianans have identified at least 72 worthless wastes of DNA, and pending 7 more. Will there be 100 more? Only if Indiana doesn't take the right corrective action (hint: declaring a SoE is not it).
No to worry. They’ll all be placed on Medicaid so WE can pay for their HIV meds to the tune of about a quarter mil per year EACH.
In this case, it's druggies. They ought to pass a law against opioids.
Drug users. Our county is next door and also involved Very rural red neck area
Druggies, homos, whatever.
Point is - they all present a health risk due to their dangerous and deviant lifestyles and they should be put away for the common good.
Really? I have never heard of this being a major problem anywhere in this country.
Yeah. that would take care of the problem...
Heroin.
Meth was big in area until they came down heavy on the labs.
Austin , a small town, once house a very large canning factory that hired many many people from south of the border (often seasonal). Many stayed Rough area that has spilled into larger communities.
They recently moved the state police post out of Seymour (a larger town just north on interstate.) They used to be multiple St Police cars in and out. We don’t see many now
So It’s now blossomed without their constant presence in the area!
So much for cutting the budget
Wow! Here (FR) I thought the Constitution was the Law of the land. We (and I mean GOVT) have removed RESPONSIBILITY from (most) actions. There are no longer CONSEQUENCES to bad/harmful lifestyles/etc.
Brand them as the Typhoid Mary they are (listed online/in the papers/what-where ever), remove the taxpayer subsidies (aka Medicaid, etc.) and let the chips fall where they may. If they actively attempt to harm OTHERS, then yes, lock ‘em up. But, hey, if they can afford their new affliction, they are more than welcome to spend every penny they have on their habits and/or trying to stay alive because of them.
Others want to donate THEIR time/$$, again, I have NO complaints.
If ‘health risk’ were the bar for jail, you may as well just round up: the fatties, the extreme sporties, the drinkers, etc.
Sorry, no. So much for the PRIORITIES.
I’d bet $$ to doughnuts there’s been an increase of ‘traffic violators’ and other ‘safe’ crack-down targets instead.
I could 2x the bet in saying even if the budget was grown, the $$ would only go into the benefits and ‘toys’ of the dept. instead.
Those unions, like govt, when the $$ starts to dry up attack those high-profile high-visibility areas (that effect the other 95% of the populace), like closing down the Mall during the last ‘govt shutdown’.
Scott County is a rural county in Southern Indiana (Pop. 24,181) It's nowhere close to Gary.
