1,429 new Indiana #coronavirus cases and 13 newly reported deaths, but @StateHealthIN has also removed two previously reported deaths from the count, making the death toll 3,442. Counting presumptive #COVID19 deaths, the total death toll is 3,669.
The 7-day positivity average, which runs a week behind, holds steady at 4.4% when repeat tests are included, but the rate for 1st-time patients jumps to 7.7%, highest since September 2. For today's batch, 5.5% of tests were positive; 14% of 1st-time patients.
Even with the correction to the death toll, today is the sixth straight day with double-digit deaths reported, the first time that's happened since June 15-20. There were 105 deaths reported in that span; 90 have been reported since Monday.
911 Hoosiers are hospitalized with #coronavirus, 52 fewer than yesterday and the fewest in 6 days. Of those, 282 are in intensive care, 11 fewer than yesterday.

7 of the 13 newly reported deaths occurred yesterday. The rest were the day before, except for one from August 1 (!).
Two counties, Brown and Gibson, have positivity averages of 10% or more. ISDH has pointed out that Brown's rate is distorted by a low number of tests; it's 14.3% but just four cases.
Similarly, Switzerland County shows zero positivity but with hardly any tests. The lowest average based on at least four days of testing is Orange County at .3%.

Debate begins in Indiana House on final vote on bill limiting employer #vaccinemandates.
House Majority Leader Matt Lehman: "This bill is not about the vaccine itself; it's about the people affected" by mandates. #INLegis
Lehman points to nurses who testified they fear getting fired for being unvaxed, after working for 9 months of pandemic before #vaccine became available.

Last week's #SCOTUS ruling means those nurses aren't affected by this bill; they're still required to get vaxed or get fired.
