Dubois County Health Department staff and I extend prayers and deepest condolences to this individual’s family friends during this time.”
Did this morning person have an underlying condition? I think the community should be able to know.
Nice try, Rob, but don’t think so – not from/by this Health Dept/Officer most of the time (it did come out once, not sure how or why in that case nor why not for any others. It’s nothing of any privacy issue and agree it’s public health information. That said, in the vast majority of all legitimate covid deaths everywhere, underlying health conditions plus higher ages in/over the 60-70 range and beyond are primary factors/contributors.
