Sure nice to have a comfortable lead after all these close games. Not counting chicken, just saying. Tournaments aren't good for heart health.

Excessive Heat Warning

With dangerously hot temperatures underway this week, the Gary Health Department would like to remind everyone that no matter your age or your ethnicity, none of us are immune to heat exhaustion/heat stroke.

Prolonged exposure to heat can lead to heat stroke which can be life threatening. Pets, children, and the elderly are those at greatest risk of deadly heat exposure going unnoticed and untreated. We encourage our community to stay hydrated, do not leave your vehicles unattended with children and pets, and check on your elderly neighbors.

To prevent heat-associated illness, follow these safety tips:

-Drink water BEFORE you get thirsty to prevent dehydration.

-Don’t rely on fans as your primary source of cooling once the temperature gets higher than 90 degrees.

-Go indoors frequently to an air-conditioned location to cool your core body temperature.

-Wear lightweight clothes.

-Seek medical care immediately if you have, or someone you know has, symptoms of heat-associated illness like muscle cramps, headaches, vomiting, confusion, no longer sweating, and rapid heart rate.

-Please check on your neighbors, especially the elderly and those that are living alone.

If you or someone you know is in need of immediate assistance, PLEASE call 911 immediately.

According to CDC’s COVID Data Tracker, as of March 16, 76.7% of the total U.S. population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 65.3% has completed the primary series. Only about half of those who are eligible has received a booster dose and are considered up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines. 💉

Among adults hospitalized with COVID-19 during the Delta and Omicron waves, people who received two or three doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine had 90–95% lower risk of dying or needing a ventilator compared with adults who were not vaccinated.
