Deaconess Clinic Offers Respiratory Immediate Care

3/24/2020
EVANSVILLE – A new evaluation clinic has been created for patients with COVID-19 symptoms: Deaconess Clinic Respiratory Immediate Care.

Appointments are required, and patients can self-schedule at www.deaconess.com/urgentcare; Respiratory Immediate Care is the second option on the page.

The clinic, located just inside the main entrance of Deaconess Clinic Downtown, is open from 8 AM – 8 PM, 7 days a week, and is for patients ages 4 and up who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.

When patients arrive, they’re greeted at the door, given a mask, and then taken directly to an exam room. Deaconess Clinic providers examine the patients and determine what testing may be needed. Some tests, such as for flu or other illnesses, as well as chest x-rays, can take place inside the clinic. If COVID-19 testing is appropriate, a nearby testing option will be available.

The pre-scheduling requirement, and designated location and process, help protect health care workers and patients.

FOOTNOTE: More information about this and other COVID-19 symptom assessment and testing are available at www.deaconess.com/coronavirus.

MESSAGE FROM MAYOR WINNECKE

Wow. What a week. What a period in history. I hope that you are acclimating as well as possible in our rapidly changing world.
I’d like to update you on a number of fronts as we head into what is sure to be another challenging week. As has been widely reported, there is one positive case of Coronavirus in Evansville, with others in Henderson and Owensboro. I believe this news affirms what our health care experts have been saying, that the virus is here and that we can all play a part in protecting public health. Social distancing and regular, thorough hand washing are two key components in slowing the spread of the virus.
I joined the County Commissioners last week in declaring a joint state of emergency in Evansville and Vanderburgh County. Among other things, this declaration has closed the Civic Center to the public. For the time being, city offices are still working (yes, there is still plenty to do with the building closed to the public), although we have several employees working from home. Should we need to close the building to non-essential staff, the work of the city can continue, as we have an unlimited remote work capacity. We have identified key personnel in each department, so I’m confident we have appropriate contingencies to continue the function of city government, no matter the circumstances. The Building Authority, which manages the Civic Center, performed a deep clean and sanitization of the Civic Center this weekend. All public restrooms, stairwells, meeting rooms and screening stations have been cleaned. The same will occur in other public buildings, such as the Ford Center and Victory Theatre before they re-open to the public.
There is a severe shortage of blood in our community. The American Red Cross is conducting a blood drive through April 3rd at its location on Stockwell Road. Because of the circumstances, you must make an appointment in order to be a donor. Appointments can be made at www.RedCrossBlood.org, or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS.
We have organized two teams in the city to support the most vulnerable, one working on contingencies for the homeless and the other working to strengthen nonprofit organizations that are facing additional financial and volunteer stress as a result of the crisis. More information to come on these fronts.
We also realize a significant number of fellow citizens will face a reduction in work hours,
if not completely losing their job. We certainly support the state and federal programs that will be rolling out to assist those individuals. Our administration continues to assess the new federal legislation focused on time away from work. We hope to provide you with guidance on that issue by no later than mid next week.
We recognize that this public health crisis will have an adverse effect on our 2020 capital and operating budgets. We are finalizing a finance ordinance to repeal a significant amount of money from our capital budget, hoping that some line items can be restored at a later time. We will file that ordinance for the Council to consider at its March 30th meeting. Our Administration and outside financial advisors will continue to track our revenue very closely in the days and weeks ahead.
I continue to have daily conference calls with our hospitals and county health department. I have the utmost confidence in their expertise and analysis. We are blessed to have a strong, extraordinarily capable team of health care providers in our region.
I urge you to remain calm and flexible. We need each other now more than ever. Together, we will get through this difficult time and grow to be an even stronger city. Carol and I remain, more than ever, grateful for your friendship and support.
Take care,
Lloyd

University of Evansville Reschedules Spring Commencement

University of Evansville Reschedules Spring Commencement

EVANSVILLE, IN (03/24/2020) After much discussion and input from students, faculty, and staff, the University of Evansville is rescheduling its Spring Commencement ceremony to take place during Homecoming weekend on the morning of September 19, 2020, at the Ford Center.

“This semester has taken an unanticipated turn for all of us, and the University of Evansville recognizes the importance of celebrating the educational achievements of our Class of 2020,” said UE president Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz. “Each one of our students has had a life-changing experience at UE – whether studying at home or abroad, through hours of classroom and out-of-classroom experiences, our students have made lifelong connections. We want to celebrate those moments, in person, at a rescheduled Commencement ceremony.”

This does not affect the timing or award of UE degrees. More details for graduates and graduation attendees will be determined in the upcoming months.

AG Curtis Hill advises Hoosiers To Exercise Caution When Making Donations

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill said today that individuals should exercise caution when considering making charitable donations during the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“Hoosiers, by their very nature and values, tend to be a generous people eager to help their neighbors in times of crisis,” Attorney General Hill said. “Unfortunately, unscrupulous scammers attempt to take advantage of such good-heartedness. These con artists aim to trick unsuspecting donors out of their hard-earned money by posing as legitimate charities.”

To avoid falling victim to deceptive schemes, Attorney General Hill said, Hoosiers should follow these tips:

  • Carefully scrutinize requests from organizations seeking donations purporting to be for charity.
  • Don’t let names that sound like well-known charities confuse you or trick you into immediate donation. Beware of callers who claim to be endorsed by the state.
  • If reached by phone, do not agree to donate money without further research into the organization. Don’t be pressured to make a donation over the phone.
  • Research each organization or cause to which you might wish to donate.
  • Do not share personal information or financial information in response to unsolicited emails, texts or phone calls.
  • Be sure to ask how much of your donation will go directly to the program you want to help.
  • If you are making a donation, make it by check or credit card rather than cash.
  • Don’t assume solicitations on social media or crowdfunding sites are legitimate — or that hyperlinks are accurate — even in posts shared or liked by your friends. Contact your friends offline and request information about links they share.
  • Go to a charity’s verified website and consider donating directly through the website. Legitimate donation websites should begin with “https” rather than just “http.”

Go online to report charity scams to the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Indiana Attorney General. If you need additional information regarding the Office’s Consumer Protection Division, please call 1-800-382-5516.

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” March 25, 2020

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” March 25, 2020

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

“IS IT TRUE” MARCH 24, 2020

0

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?

(Recently we detected an issue where our subscribers may have not been getting breaking news alerts from the City-County Observer. This notification is to let you know that starting today you have been added to receive future news alerts.  If you no longer want to receive future news alerts please opt-out by clicking the  link in your e-mail to unsubscribe)

IS IT TRUE Mayor Winnecke recently stated: “that he recognizes that this public health crisis will have an adverse effect on our 2020 capital and operating budgets”?  …he further stated, “that the city is finalizing a finance ordinance to repeal a significant amount of money from our capital budget, hoping that some line items can be restored at a later time”? … the Mayor also stated that “he will file that ordinance for the Council to consider at its March 30th meeting and his administration and outside financial advisors will continue to track our revenue very closely in the days and weeks ahead”?  …we are told if the Mayor would have contributed a reasonable amount of money in the Evansville “Rainy Day Fund” during each year he’s been in office he wouldn’t have to take money from the capital and operating accounts? …the past and current deficit spending practices by the Mayor have also added to the current cash flow challenges of the city?  …we also wonder how the Mayor is going to get additional money if the taxpayers don’t have the money to pay their taxes?

IS IT TRUE that it is a time-honored and proven statement that desperate people do desperate things?…the United States may be on the cusp of learning this lesson the hard way if our elected congress don’t move forward with a financial relief plan that provides some immediate cash to people who have lost their jobs or had their hours reduced due to the “shelter in place” orders that happened as a result of the threat of COVID19?

IS IT TRUE in spite of this getting the United States Senate to pass a bill that would do this is like pulling hen’s teeth because opportunistic members of congress are trying to attach ideological actions to the relief bill?…making financial relief that is needed by people whose lives were impacted through no fault of their own for things like solar and wind tax credits, concessions to special interest groups, and other utopian wishes is irresponsible and puts us at risk for civil unrest?

IS IT TRUE that examples of desperate actions by desperate people are all around us?…buying a couple of months of food, toilet paper and bottled water on the shelves of a grocery store could be considered to be an act of desperation?….it is time for the American people to put their Tom Terrific thinking caps on during this crisis?

IS IT TRUE that civil unrest has already begun in some locations?…in Southern California a supply truck delivering food was hijacked by armed bandits and the contents of the truck were stolen?…something similar happened in North Carolina?…in what is perhaps the most callous act of civil unrest, armed criminals stole all of the medications and test kits from a drive-through COVID19 testing center?…these acts could be just the tip of the iceberg compared to what will happen if the obstructionists and opportunistic ideologues in congress fail to provide relief before people start to miss their rent and the food supply is depleted?…we can expect mass looting, robbery, and perhaps martial law if the congress that is there to serve the people of this nation fiddles like Nero while Rome was burning?

IS IT TRUE that the United States has turned into a tribal society with some people loving every word that President Trump says and others suffering from such rabid hate that they are literally opposing efforts to provide emergency relief to people on the edge of poverty?…we have been through a time like this back in the 60s where social unrest became riots?…in the late 1960s and once-great productive cities like Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, and South Bend have never recovered?…when the fires are started and “Burn Baby Burn” becomes the anthem of the street, we will have crossed the Rubicon into violence and chaos?…this must be avoided and if people who make a million bucks get a check who cares at this point?…the fastest way to get money into the people’s hands is to have no restrictions and no qualifying criteria?…at this point some in congress seems to be willing to sacrifice 97% of the population to prevent a few thousand wealthy people from getting a check?…this is insane and it needs to stop right now?

IS IT TRUE that one of the parts of the current bill that is being objected to by some democrat senators is a $50 billion cash subsidy to the domestic airline industry?…anyone with the mental capacity to read a balance sheet can see that most of our airlines will be out of operating cash in about 6 to 8 weeks without a federal backstop?…these people do not even have the presence of mind to understand that the planes are currently carrying medical supplies and ventilators during these trying times when people are not buying seats?…failing to see this is an example of abject ignorance on the part of some of our United States Senators?

IS IT TRUE we are told that manufacturing, airlines, medical providers, wholesale and retail establishments, public sector mass transit, hospitality and entertainment venues are also about to be flat out of cash and in danger of shutting down in the very near future?…the CCO hopes that our congress will actually choose people over ideology and partisan politics?…that President Trump often calls the coronavirus an invisible enemy?… another invisible enemy that has the capacity to plunge our nation into financial chaos and civil unrest is partisan political action?

IS IT TRUE that it was recently announced that Palm Springs, California will be the location of a new 10,000 seat hockey arena and has been selected to have an American Hockey League affiliate of the Seattle National Hockey League franchise?…the new facility will have two ice sheets and will cost $250 million?…this all sounds familiar to the Ford Center in Evansville but there is one very important difference?…the Palm Springs arena (not yet named) will not be using any taxpayer dollars?…the arena is a partnership between the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and a private investment group?…the arena will sit on tribal land inside a sovereign nation?…the taxpayers of Palm Springs and California will not be paying for or covering the debt on the facility in any way?…this is how stadiums and arenas should be financed as vital services like fire and police are not made to suffer to cover the payments on a temple to sports?
IS IT TRUE it would have been so great if Evansville could have done similar to Palm Springs, California by building an Arena that will not eventually bleed the taxpayers of $10 million per year for 20 years to pay for the facility?

IS IT TRUE that information is power but rumors aren’t?

IS IT TRUE that it’s obvious when it comes to having complete knowledge about the Coronavius that some people know that they don’t know and some people don’t know that they don’t know?

IS IT TRUE its time that relatives and parents of millenniums demand that they begin to quarantine themselves?

IS IT TRUE get on your knees and pray for divine intervention?

IS IT TRUE when the people fear the Government we have Tyranny!  When the Government fears the people we have Liberty?

IS IT TRUE our “READERS POLLS” are non-scientific but trendy?

Today’s “Readers Poll” question is: Which media is the most effective in giving us the current updates about the Coronavirus?
Please take time and read our articles entitled “STATEHOUSE FILES, LAW ENFORCEMENT, “READERS POLL”, BIRTHDAYS, HOT JOBS”, EDUCATION, OBITUARIES and “LOCAL SPORTS”.
