Hi Larry! Thanks again for all your updates all the time. Your page is part of my daily reading. This is off topic because I don’t see a story related to my question, but I am concerned that I’m not seeing any news from you as to the state of Covid / Delta response in Hamilton county in general and Fishers in particular. Is it because you have nothing to report on the subject at the moment because the situation is so fluid? You had very up-to-date information throughout the pandemic, but I’m not seeing anymore info as of late
Thanks for the comments. As you may know, I am a one-man-band and do this on a volunteer basis, so I cannot cover everything. Fishers and Hamilton County have fairly high vaccination rates so I have not seen any significant updates on the local COVID situation. If anything comes up, I will write about it.
