Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) is expected to reimpose coronavirus restrictions in most counties in the state on Wednesday amid rising hospitalizations and deaths.

The restrictions, set to go into effect next weekend, will apply to 87 of the state’s 92 counties, which are considered to be at the two higher-risk levels of virus spread. The highest-risk red counties will only allow gatherings of up to 25 people, while the next-highest orange counties will permit crowds of up to 50 people, the governor said during his address.

Religious gatherings are exempt, and any other events that plan to have a larger amount of people require approval from officials. Holcomb's mask mandate will also continue another month.

WTF is his problem? Let OUR guard down? Fat ass governor in IL says the same. Why is it always my fault?

Indianapolis Mayor imposed even stricter controls.

What is the definition of insanity again? Trying the same thing over and over again expecting different results? Why they don't try something else (with a proven track record) like the Marik-Covid Protocol, I don't understand. My family has been loosely following it for months and live without fear. https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/internal_medicine/Marik-Covid-Protocol-Summary.pdf I never really locked-down in the first place, but now the gloves are off. Wake up, America!

Since the mask mandate went into effect in September (92% reported compliance)the case numbers have gone through the roof. A logical person would look at the empirical date and determine that wearing masks increase your chances of infection.

Scroll down for hospitalization data, and pay special attention to the Statewide ICU Bed Usage by Day graph.

He and all these Midwestern/Near-South governors like Lil Andy are shouting into the void. People have resumed normal life, having outings, camping trips, turkey shoots, but they are keeping it off FB/Pin/Insta and telling their kids if you post pics you can find your Apple stuff in the toilet the next morning.

I don't know what it's like elsewhere (have heard Central Texas / Hill Country mostly same) but I haven't worn a mask since late September EXCEPT polling station.

I've had the crud (last winter by second-degree contact with someone who had been to Wuhan over the 2019 holidays) and now I just don't care. Kryptonite can pogue mahone...

They believe they can balance their budget on the backs of the American Taxpayer “When Joe Byeden” is the president.

Positive case results added to the pile.

Hubby brought up this thought today - What are current ACTIVE cases? Even our little county shows total cases, active, deaths and presumed resolved.
