Indiana has 12 deaths on 365 cases. Compare that to Maryland, with only 3 deaths on 349 cases, or North Carolina, with no deaths on 410 cases, And, Illinois has 12 deaths like Indiana, but on 1,285 cases. Thank you for your reply.

milehiiu Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Should Congress ever get off their asses ( not naming names) and finally put into action relief checks for my fellow Americans. In the case that my wife and I get a check. We have already decided to pay those checks forward. As in both of our cases, though we are retired. God has blessed us both with life time incomes. With God's blessing. America will get through this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this happening all over the country. And must confess. I am confused. Surgeon general said this week not to panic as numbers go up because of more testing. The positive is mortality rates keep trending down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previous SG's that I remember seemed to me elderly people. Yet, I came to find. He is only young looking for his age, and has served in Indiana, and was an assistant professor at IU : Jerome Adams Edited March 24, 2020 by milehiiu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calihoosier Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Not close to getting tested still but good news I guess is that I went to my primary doctor (busy man in Cali) was finally able to see him and immediately placed me on medical isolation when explaining my symptoms since he has already had patients that tested positive before knows what to look for and he suspects I have it but unfortunately still not enough tests for me or the other average joes like me 😔. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be safe. Do your part for the time being. Do a ton of work out there from Bay to Orange County. Very, very scary times...problem is when you have a state that has more people than Canada it's hard to get everyone to comply....or simply put even want to comply.

rd726 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 We’ve only been sending out tests for less than two weeks ( and they are taking about 3-5 days to get results back). So I agree with the thinking that positives are only going up because of more testing now. We probably send out at least 30 a day and that’s from a smaller hospital. No positives yet...that I’ve seen at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 It's hard to combat stupid. A group of people in Kentucky held a 'Coronavirus Party'.

I work for a trucking company in Indy and we are having some trouble getting them enough loads to haul. Our biggest customer is Subaru and they are shut down and we do other automotive so it hard on them. Starting tomorrow I am going to be working from home because I can do invoicing from home. Just saw the new numbers for Indiana and we are up to 365 cases and 13 deaths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No positives yet...that I’ve seen at least. Plus, to handle the backlog of tests, in CA they are saying to test only if it will change the treatment option. Also, they are saying to prioritize testing for patients already admitted to the hospital. The ratio of positive to negative test results is ~10% across the entire nation. That means people are having symptoms, but have strep/flu/cold 9/10 times. Considering these changes, I think we'll see the ratio increase. I'm really excited to start hearing results from the hydroxychloroquine, azathioprine, and zinc cocktail that has worked, anecdotally. They started a big trial in NYC yesterday.

It's pretty much the same here in Georgia and I drive on a two lane highway! We probably have a few more cars. But Trucks are the majority.
