Indiana Covid levels reaching record levels [View all]

Indiana has just matched it's highest daily death rate since March. Daily hospital admissions have nearly doubled from rates in March. Covid ICU beds are at or slightly above late March levels. Positivity rates are running near 25%. Hospitals statewide are expecting a 2 fold increase in admissions and ICU patients over the next few weeks and are beginning to feel the pressure worse than in March.

Holcombe opened the state up, got re-elected, and now is looking at backtracking Indiana's phased opening plan but on a county level depending on county metrics.
Even those suggested rollbacks aren't mandatory and aren't restrictive enough to stop the freight train that is up to speed and accelerating.
