.@StateHealthIN Commissioner Kris Box says ISDH has partnered w/ Indiana Minority Health Coalition to get info to minorities on best practices for dealing with #coronavirus. African-Americans have had disproportionately high rates of infection and death, in IN and nationally.
Box slideshow indicates worst single-day death toll is now 39, on April 14. Online dashboard hasn't quite caught up to that.

ABC was not the only media outlet that quashed the Epstein story. There were many others, as NPR's @DavidFolkenflik reported months ago. thedailybeast.com/amy-robach-abc… via @thedailybeast
@davidfolkenflik @thedailybeast One of the reasons I had trouble getting sources to cooperate with me on this story is that so many news outlets had bailed on the story that they were tired of talking to reporters who didn't do anything with it. I had to convince them that the Herald WAS going to print it.
@davidfolkenflik @thedailybeast My editor @caseyfrank1 had to assure one of the key sources in my series, who had never spoken publicly, that we were NOT going to be intimidated by the Alan Dershowitz's and Prince Andrews' and other powerful people connected to the story. #PerversionofJustice #localjournalism
