​​“We appreciate that the State of Indiana recognizes how strained Indiana hospitals currently are with the Delta variant wave. One region in southern Indiana has already exceeded its highest number of COVID-19 hospitalizations at any point during the pandemic. According to Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, only 115 intensive care unit (ICU) beds were available​ in the entire state of Kentucky earlier this week. There is a massive storm cloud of this virus sweeping up through Indiana, and increasing our state’s vaccination rate is the most effective way to ease the burden on our courageous health care heroes and ensure a hospital bed for every Hoosier that needs one.”
