COVID testing numbers level off after Thursday spike

Monday, August 10, 2020

Following a surge of 43 new cases when COVID-19 statistics were reported on Thursday, Putnam County has added 13 new cases in the days since.

The sudden spike was largely attributed to a recent outbreak at Putnamville Correctional Facility.

The prison, which over the course of several days had jumped from 35 cases to 87, added six new cases in its Friday reporting, bringing its total to 93. As of Monday, no new cases had been added at the prison since Friday.

The county now stands at 290 total cases.

Indiana Department of Correction Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kristen Dauss told the Banner Graphic on Thursday that IDOC officials have taken steps to slow the spread of coronavirus at the prison, including isolating offenders who may be sick, quarantining those who may have been exposed and taking extra cleaning and hygienic precautions.

As of midday Monday, Putnamville had 166 offenders in isolation, 423 more in quarantine and 36 who have already recovered from the illness.

The prison has issued 399 tests to offenders.

Outside the prison, numbers appear to be increasing only incrementally in Putnam County, with seven new cases added on Thursday, followed by one or two on each day from Friday to Sunday.

A total of 4,106 individuals had been tested in Putnam County as of midnight Sunday.

While there had not been a COVID-19 testing site available in the county in recent weeks, Putnam County Hospital added a curbside testing option on Monday.

The testing is available by appointment only, which can be made by calling the PCH COVID-19 hotline at 301-7019.

Those who believe they have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever and symptoms such as coughing or difficulty breathing are encouraged to call their healthcare providers.

  • I would like to know how many of those 290 cases are still valid.

    @dpriest, it'd also be interesting to know how many positive tests have been counted more than once, too (as many positive tests have been accumulated into the overall total, meaning, the *individual* wasn't added to the total but rather, the number of times they were tested).

    The image in my head:

    Queen53/GladysK standing next to the ramp with clipboard in hand...

    Queen53 - "Why must these people complain? Why won't they just get in the boxcar? Jerry never had this much trouble, I bet."

    GladysK - "Exactly. It's for the greater good. By the way, do you know where this train goes?"

    Queen53 - "Nope. I was just told this was necessary so this is what I do."

    @VolunteerFF, do you liken Trump to Hitler? The democratic commandments dictate that every cult member should, so if you don't, then you're complicit to his "bigoted and racist toxicity," you mouth-breathing clod! If you do, then you're guilty of the same disproportionate comparison that you've accused DP of.

    Marginalizing someone for your sense of moral turpitude reflects what Joseph Goebbels tried to reconcile during Nazi Germany. It didn't go over well then and won't now... In your opinion, the examples DP used were disproportionate. After all, it's only a mask, right? But at its most basic components, the comparison was spot-on.

    Today, the SS mandates masks and they've already found ways to force you to walk along specific routes in stores that were otherwise free roaming areas. Failure to comply results in a public shaming without the milk the eggs and, depending on how you handle the ankle grabbing, a loss of your livelihood. And of course, all of this gets ballooned into excusing daily disruption, from variable policy shifts that our education system is never on the same page of to the cancelling of entire sports seasons.

    But tomorrow, they may decide to force rubber gloves or eye protection, medical paperwork or ID cards providing vaccination proof to grocery store staff strangers (after mandating a vaccine or two, obviously). I'm sure a convenient checkout questionnaire implementation is being devised as we speak, which will provide you with an easy interface to submit your checkout answer which explains your uncommon purchases of NyQuil or Tylenol while providing them with necessary location data to accommodate their "preventative contact tracing" safety system (which is all associated to your past purchase information and easily accessible using a phone apps that no hacker will ever want, I'm sure). Through time, the notions you considered to be science fiction metastasize into real cancerous growths that our free society will die from, giving rise to things like eventual forced implants or worse, even more bland shopping experiences. But as always, all of it will be for your own good. It always is.

    As crazy as it sounds, these things do happen but always in small scoops, with a dash of invisible-hand tactics here, a few sprinkles of incrementalism there, all being topped off with little line-item legislation that slithers its way into the broth through big relief packages... Before you know it, you wind up with a social manipulation stew that every authoritarian just adores, served up hot and fresh on Martha Stewart dinnerware to the despot dinner guests. If the SS can justify the inch, it turns into the Night of Long Knives... Mark my words.

    For now, just keep an eye on your insurance premiums because I'd bet everything I have that they're mulling over new ways to penalize the insured for lacking various Covid flavors of coverage. I'd also look out for tax rate increases as they'll explore ways to justify "ensuring advanced protective social response systems for local municipalities." After all, the SS knows best what we need to keep our towns safe from invisible threats.

    @GladysK, do you wear Nitrile gloves everywhere you go? What about protective coveralls? Ah, I see... Then muffle your holier-than-thou noise because clearly you don't care about people the way you try to project. If you did, not only would you wear those things but you'd also spray everything down that you touch as you lug your mobile air filter in tow to prevent your skin cells from infecting others, you disgusting and uncaring wretch.

    @Queen53, I hope you sanitize that motorized scooter you **** and moan from. For your own sake, I hope one day you learn how to appreciate other opinions or the needs and or desires of others but I'm not holding my breath because I doubt you'll ever find a way to think beyond your multiple chins. Now go wash your hands, dirty butt!

    Have a great day, everyone!

  • and how does this fit within "Refrain from obscenity in your comments, and to keep discussions civil, don't say anything in a way your grandmother would be ashamed to read"?

    There was a period of about 3-5 days where DPR, Don Antontio, and Douglas Quaid were not commenting on anything and it was actually pleasant to read the Banner again. Since they've been back they've only gotten worse. It's okay to turn off comments to all articles like the bigger papers.

  • Nit,

    You only want action taken against those you disagree with. When I disagree with them, I want a platform to share where I disagree.

    The difference is you don't trust others to make up their mind.

    State your opinion, let those you disagree with do the same, and then don't argue back. Let the positions stand and let the readers form their opinions.

    If you think they are wrong, why do you fear the printing of them.

    If you ask the BG to take action, do you expect them to take action against only those you disagree with or think are mean?

    I think many could fall into this, including many on the left.

    You and I have agreed at times. At times, we have disagreed. I have never thought you should have action taken against you for "being wrong"!!! lol!!!

    I wish we stuck to the issue. We don't. I am guilty of that also.

    As an example, in this case, I do think DQ makes some very valid points on his comparisons comments. Other times, I think he is off target. It is part of life and we should embrace it.

    I do believe if the left gets full power of government, we will see the limitation of the free flow of ideas. College campuses are a real example of this behavior. It isn't arguable. For transparency, I am a Reagan guy. That being said, I don't say this as a conspiracy person, just looking at the facts. I heard something once that has come to be good advice- Listen with one ear and watch with 2 eyes.

    Nit, have confidence in your positions, express them, let others express their opinions, and then let the readers decide where they stand.

    More mingling with locals! I do so cherish these moments! Now we're having fun!

    Let's begin:

    @Snapcracklepop, if that's all you have to offer (ban those you can't stomach instead of just ignoring them or challenging their views), then you're part of the problem. If you can't see that, then don't be surprised when people like myself (or anyone, really) scares you. Be brave and don't depend on safe spaces.

    @Nit, you're so cute if you were ever under the assumption that I was in it for your respect. See? That's what makes me love you so much.

    @RSOTS, between you and VolunteerFF, you guys turn into an art form the act of lazy ring-and-runs when you're not smashed with Coors and getting sun poisoning from your broken down pontoon boat. It's not my problem that you can't handle a few paragraphs worth of reading comprehension nor bring anything worth reading yourselves to any exchanges. All you do is whine, top your noise off with some quick one-liner remark, and then rinse-and-repeat until your attention span moves on to something else. You never have more than that.

    But you're not fooling anyone: you and I both know you read my comments. You couldn't ignore me if you tried and I just want you to know that it tickles me knowing that I get to you like this.

    @GladysK, "yokes?" Sigh...

    @beg, thank you for having some common sense, a currency hard to come by in these parts. You just went up a notch in my book. Keep it up and you'll be in the cool club. You might poo-poo that idea but trust me: we have the best soda, the fastest cars, and the hottest chicks.

  • Masks and hand sanitizer protect you from others. Or do masks and hand sanitizers protect others from you? "The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind". (pardon the levity)! Masks protect, masks do nothing. It depends which health care professional you believe, because opinions, test results, and test methodology all differ and contradict. I choose not to wear one, and if required for admittance to a place of business, I have a very whimsical, obviously "do-nothing" mask, and have never been questioned. If you don't like it, stay the heck away from me. Also, I have COPD (emphysema), am 64, considered high-risk, and am one of the 99.7% that survived covid-19.

    Facts, I'm glad you recovered and are doing well. Sadly there are 160,000+ families that can't say that right now. But hey let's just tell our fellow man to *&^% off and stay the heck away from me.

    Whether you believe in masks, no masks, sanitizer, no sanitizer, lock down, no lock down how in the world did we become so calloused to everyone else around us? To trying to be a part of a solution instead of a problem?

    People and their lack of empathy and awareness for the others around them are sad...

    GladysK / RSOTS -

    Oh, I do take the coronavirus very seriously.

    I wash my hands frequently - and have done so for many years before the China Virus became analogous to the plague. (Which still exists, by the way.)

    I also refrain from going around licking door knobs or other people. (Frankly, with the exception of a few women, they just don't taste that good.)

    I also tried to avoid sick people, and don't do large groups as a general rule for various reasons.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY I also educate myself - in this case about viruses in general including how viruses work and in particular this virus.

    I do not simply listen to what someone says - especially when that person has an agenda - and simply discount anything anyone else has to say.

    Funny that the masked-crusaders have NOTHING to say about the potential health risks (phsyical & mental) associated with this constant mask-wearing, social distancing, isolationism within a group - especially on children.

    And given the high percentage of likelihood of these problems and the low percentage of likelihood for serious complications from COVID-19 (especially since it is easily & cheaply treatable)...

    It would seem that the two of you are the ones who don't care about others. If you did, you would see that your do-goodery is more of a problem than a solution.(Apparently my previous attempt at educating you on the dangers of empathy failed.)

    All life is dangerous. Every day - whether you realize it or not - there are hundreds of viruses, bacterias, and various other little nasty things that can kill you just looking for a place to have a good time in you/on you. There are a million different variables in every action you take (drive a car, cross the road, take a bite of food) that could be the death of you.

    Its not that we don't take it seriously.

    Its that we don't think that the mask is going to save us; we don't think the government is going to save us; nor do we think that the level of safety & security you are looking for is worth giving up our freedoms.

    You want to wear a mask - go ahead. It doesn't bother us.

    Its when you want to FORCE us to wear a mask that we have a problem, and for that you will rightly be compared to the many totalitarian regimes throughout history that are UnAmerican and downright dangerous.

    @Nit, I don't understand why you even wade into things like this, especially when you always do it after a preexisting exchange that never even involved you. Are you just desperate for attention? And the little quip about "dishing things out but not being able to take it" comes from your darkest parts because I'm not exactly sure where you even got that impression: nothing you've said up to this point has had any weight behind it and instead of even just asking reasonable questions or providing your own sources which might back up your own views about anything, you instead just resort to petty censorship by crying to Mommy about people saying things you think are mean. What a joke. It's like you're trying to project being a champion of discourse (without a single reason for it) but since you never get to wear that hat, you have to pretend to in some paltry effort to feel better about yourself. I almost feel sorry for you. You wouldn't get responses like this if you'd just focus on the meat and potatoes of things being discussed but I don't think you have that in you.

    @RSOTS, you keep cherry-picking morality while holding others accountable to your standards. Maybe you missed the memo but you're not my moral compass anymore than I am yours. So when you whine about others being calloused just because they question the merits of things like mask mandates while simultaneously holding suspect the absence of glove or eye protection mandates along with questioning other inconsistencies, you do so using your own moral expectations that others will never be held accountable for. Sorry, but that's just life in the aluminum siding business.

    @small town fan, when someone questions current events or defends his or herself from unprovoked attack, that's not nonsense nor is it something us adults can't handle without someone coming in and censoring everything. Just be careful because your comment can be construed as a tag-in for this Banner Graphic Wrestle Mania.

    RSOTS - You can be compassionate towards your fellow man without being empathetic. Its pretty easy actually... I do it all the time. Of course you would have to be a lot less condescending than you are, and that might be hard for you from your high perch.

    And you can be compassionate while preserving freedom. In fact, seeking freedom (for oneself and others) is one of the most compassionate things that one can do as it allows a person to achieve all that they may wish, or fail (and learn a lesson) vs the equal misery meted out by heavy-handed statism.

    My fault.

    I’m sorry that caused you concern.

    I hope you can go on.

    Yikes Yikes Yikes.

    My sentiment remains.

    To review:

    Care about others

    Wear a mask

    Practice social distancing.

    It’s not hard.

    Try thinking of others for a change.

    I think I covered everything...

    I hope you can recovering completely from a typo accident.

    You seem fragile. I hope you are okay.

    The manifesto comment goes for all those who think their responses should be longer than the original article.

    You are full of self-import. I’m sorry for you.

    DPR,

    The definition of Emapthy per M.W. -

    : the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner.

    The definition of Compassion per M.W. -

    : sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it.

    I guess if you want to try and act like you can have one without the other then continue on.

    RSOTS - It boils down to this: I don't need to feel or understand someone's pain (empathy) to see an opportunity to help alleviate that pain (compassion).

    Hence, I can understand from a rational point of view why people want to wear masks, and I will help them out when possible by avoiding them or wearing a mask in their domicile/store. However, it should not impinge on my freedoms in society and should not be made mandatory by the government.

    Your empathy requires you to internalize and emotionalize the mask question thereby rendering your ability to think rationally nearly impossible.

    Emotionally-driven thought processes are impulsive, reckless, and often dangerous. Think murders of passion and suicides... little to no impulse control. No rational thought.

    Actually this explains some things...which reminds me... have you started your counseling yet?

    BJCP76 -

    "BEWARE: This comment section is full of idiotic, long winded, QAnon talking point responses!"

    THIS is your contribution to the topic at hand? Simple dismissal and condescension b/c you disagree or dont understand...LOL.

    I would have to say that out of all the responses on here, which run a fairly wide spectrum of ideas and thoughts behind them, that YOURS is the most idiotic.

    I may disagree with what some people are saying but at least most of them are contributing in some fashion.

    You, on the other hand, are akin to Baghdad Bob on Iraqi national television - complete with hands in front of you in a warding gesture - telling people that what they see isn't real and the truth of the matter is actually some vast conspiracy.

    At least contribute something: "Fauci says..." "According to the WHO..." "I have a cousin whose hairdresser's brothers girlfriend got the coronavirus and melted into a puddle of goo!!"...

    (I thought I would help you out a little, give a bit of a nudge. It can be scary to speak up when you are a child at the adult table.)

    For those complaining about the comment section: I would guess that the BG enjoys it (so long as it doesn't become too offensive) b/c it helps drive subscriptions. I know that as long as I have been posting there are a number of "new" people that comment. And a newspaper should encourage the exchange of ideas - again, so long as they don't get too offensive. (And that standard should be fairly broad. The value of free speech is exactly for "ugly" speech... for why would you need to protect speech that you already agree with?)

    If the comments bother you, don't read them. (Pretty simple, eh? Just like the mask controversy... you should be free to engage or not engage, but you shouldn't have the power to force others to engage or not engage.)

  • RSOTS, I do take this Corona virus seriously. The same as every other flu that comes along every year. No more, no less. This is the only one that has been publicized and politicized to such a degree that it has brought the country to it's knees. I too know of several who have lost close family members and friends to this virus, and empathize with them their pain, so don't you dare tell me I am callous and uncaring. I am realistic, and believe that had we not panicked and instead just treated this as any other flu, it would have passed by now and the country and economy would be back to normal!!!

    P.S. RSOTS, Unlike you, please note that throughout my comments, not once did I find it necessary to insult, belittle, or otherwise put down any others who comment.

    Facts, good for you not insulting, belittling or putting anyone down. However I will continue to call out ignorant fools that have no empathy or compassion (yes you can't have compassion without empathy no matter how hard DPR tries to say) for their fellow man. If that bothers you please ignore me or better yet decide to start caring about others instead of telling them to "stay the heck away".

  • Nit,

    Not sure where I said I disagree. I was responding to the paper taking action comment and encouraging you to trust your opinions.

    Not sure how that is disagreement or "not liking" your comments.
