We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?
IS IT TRUE that the Small Business Loan Program is likely to run out of money today?  …this is a great example when Washinton bureaucrats and politicians get together to plan for a pandemic?
IS IT TRUE at yesterdays meeting the Vanderburgh County Commissioners accepted and approved two (2) Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) COVID-19 Public Facilities Grants? …the Community Development Block Grant Fund (CDBG) total is for $250,000 and will be used to remodel certain areas at the Vanderburgh County Jail in order to test, diagnose treat and quarantine new inmates who test positive for the coronavirus? …we commend County Commissioners Ben Shoulders, Cheryl Musgrave, and Jeff Hatfield and Sheriff Dave Wedding for being proactive in fighting the invisible and deadly COVID-19 virus?
IS IT TRUE yesterday Mayor Winnecke made an announcement in front of the Civic center that he’s appointing a “Re-Opening The City Task Force”? ….the Mayor stated that the four areas of focus for this “Task Force” are: 1) Business Assistance 2) Workplace Testing 3) Quality of Life 4) Operating of City Government?  …it looks like Mayor Winnecke is following the Governor’s lead concerning this issue? …when you mirror an extremely problematic issue of someone else and it backfires it could cause you major political problems down the road? …this is a developing story?
IS IT TRUE that 8,955 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus?  ..a total of 436 Hoosiers have died to date?  …as of today, 48,496 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 46,017 on Tuesday?  …that Indiana has around 7 million people?  …we can only imagine what the count of positive COVID-19 tests would be if the majority of the 7 million people living in Indiana were tested?
IS IT TRUE that many people are wondering why haven’t they heard from Lieutenant Governor Crouch during this crisis?
IS IT TRUE it was reported yesterday that at least 2,129 died in the United States from the COVID -9 virus? ….the number of deaths that were reported yesterday is the most COVID-19 deaths we had in one day?
IS IT TRUE with the exceptions of renowned research scientists, immune system and infectious-disease doctors, medical school academics, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx and several other highly respected medical professionals there seemly is no shortage of people with little or no knowledge about the transmission of viruses making comments is astonishing?
IS IT TRUE that the answers on how to eradicate the COVID-19 virus from planet earth are in the hands of the scientists and not politicians?
IS IT TRUE we feel that we should point out to the overzealous public officials that 327 million people that live in the United States and a little over 2 million people have been tested for the deadly COVID-19 virus so far?  …we wonder how many of 325 million people that haven’t been tested have the COVID-19 virus?
IS IT TRUE the infection and death tolls from the deadly coronavirus are continuing to increase? …. over 625,000 Americans have been diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus and that over 29,000 have passed away so far?  …among some deaths that have not been counted are some of the elderly people living in nursing homes?
IS IT TRUE it does appear that certain parts of our nation are beginning to gravitate to the peak of the curves for both COVOD-19 infection and death?…we are told that nationally we should start seeing lower infection and death rates over the next several months and if these projections turn out to be correct our death rates from COVID-19 virus should be drastically reduced by summer?
IS IT TRUE when the COVID-19 crisis is officially declared to be over with we predict that numerous Federal, State, and local politicians will attempt to take to full credit for eradicating this deadly virus from our universe?  …that “Empty Wagons Make The Most Noise?”
IS IT TRUE over the last six months we have been approached by several people to do a printed edition of a Sunday paper? …when the City-County Observer first started publishing many years ago we produced a printed newspaper once a week for a couple of years and always made an honorable profit? …many years ago we decided to publish the City-County Observer online only and must confess that we saved a heck a lot of money by doing so?…for the last six (6) months we have been taking a serious look at producing a downhome non-partisan printed Sunday newspaper?  … we must confess that we were planning to launch a complimentary Sunday printed newspaper beginning May 1, 2020, but the COVID -19 virus has temporarily derailed our plans?  …this is a  developing story?
IS IT TRUE recently we reported that our current “CCO MOLE” membership count was  168 strong? ….over the last several days we signed up an additional 21 more “CCO MOLES” which makes our current “MOLE” count 189 strong?  …did we mentioned that 7 of the 25 new “CCO MOLES” work in the medical profession?
IS IT TRUE when the people fear the Government we have Tyranny!  When the
The government fears the people we have Liberty?
IS IT TRUE our “READERS POLLS” are non-scientific but trendy?
