.PICTURES LIKE THIS OF CROWDED

CAUSING CONCERN AS MORE

SAY THE DISTRICT REPORTED TO
NUCOAL THE 19 CASES ON FRIDAY.
ONE OF THEM FROM HIGH SCHOOL
THE OTHER AND ONE OF THE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. ONE HIGH
SCHOOLER WHO WANTS TO REMAIN
ANONYMOUS SAYS SHE'S WORRIED
ABOUT MORE CASES SAYING IT'S
NOT AN IF BUT WHEN. THERE'S
ALSO A LOT OF ANXIETY LIKE MORE
THAN NORMAL BECAUSE THERE'S
ALWAYS A LITTLE ANXIOUSNESS IN
HIGH SCHOOL BUT JUST EVERYONE
IS SO ON EDGE BECAUSE WHO'S
GONNA GET IT? X NOW DESPITE THE
PICTURES OF CROWDED HALLWAYS,
CENTER GROVE SAYS THEY ARE
FOLLOWING CDC GUIDELINES.
PASSING PERIODS ARE ONLY FIVE
MINUTES LONG. IT'S CONSIDERED
CLOSE CONTACT THAT'S DEFINED BY
WITHIN SIX FEET FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. ALSO STUDENTS ARE
REQUIRED TO WEAR MASKS.
FOOTBALL PLAYERS AT NEW PAL
HIGH SCHOOL WILL ACTUALLY HAVE
TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER TO
START THEIR FOOTBALL SEASON.
THAT'S BECAUSE TOO MANY PLAYERS
ARE NOW IN QUARANTINE. COACH
KYLE RALPH POSTED ON TWITTER
SAYING QUOTE THE OVERALL SAFETY
AND WELL-BEING OF OUR PLAYERS
WHICH IS OUR TOP PRIORITY DOES
NOT MEET THE STANDARD
OF FIELDING A TEAM. THIS WEEK
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PLAY TO
CATER CENTRAL THIS FRIDAY AND
NOW THEY HOPE TO BE ABLE TO
PLAY AUG. 28 AGAINST REBUFF.
NOW LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
COVID 19 NUMBERS RIGHT HERE IN
INDIANA. WE'RE NOW SEEING MORE
THAN 80000 POSITIVE CASES. THE
STATE ADDED 750 NEW CASES WHICH
IS DOWN SLIGHTLY FROM PREVIOUS
DAYS. OF THOSE CASES, ONE
HUNDRED AND THIRTY WERE KIDS 19
AND UNDER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
OF THEM WERE PEOPLE IN THEIR
20S. THAT'S FOR TESTING HERE IN
INDIANA, MORE THAN 900000
HOOSIERS HAVE RECEIVED A COPA
19 TEST SO FAR WITH WORRIES
OVER NOT ENOUGH COVID 19
TESTING COULD SOON COME TO AN
END BECAUSE RESEARCHERS AT YALE
SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH HAVE
COME UP WITH US ALIVE. A DIRECT
TEST THIS TEST GOT EMERGENCY
YOUTH USE AUTHORIZATION
FROM THE FDA JUST OVER THE
WEEKEND. NOW THIS TEST IS
DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT
REQUIRE A SPECIFIC SWAB OR
COLLECTION ADVISED TO WILL ONLY
COST ABOUT 10 DOLLARS. THE
TESTS COULD COME OUT TO THE
PUBLIC HERE IN THE NEXT FEW
WEEKS AND THIS MORNING THE
POSTAL SERVICE HAS A LOT OF YOU
TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. HOUSE
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI SAYS SHE'S
CALLING THE HOUSE BACK INTO

BILL THAT WOULD STOP THE POSTAL
SERVICE FROM IMPLEMENTING ANY
CHANGES TO ITS LEVEL
OF SERVICE. A LOT WE'RE TALKING

SIX OF YOU COMMENTING ON THE
POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SPEAKER
NANCY PELOSI SAYING SUNDAY
SHE'S CALLING HOUSE BACK INTO

DOLLAR EMERGENCY INJECTION SHOT

POSTMASTER GENERAL JOY HAS
ACTED AS AN ACCOMPLICE IN THE
PRESIDENT'S EFFORTS TO CHEAT
