HIV in the official record only, and COVID-19 in three dated parts

1981–2024 · OFFICIAL RECORD ONLY

HIV — the official record, and nothing else: Indiana's HIV record is the Indiana Department of Health's Spotlight on HIV/STD/Viral Hepatitis surveillance series, which counts by last known county of residence and suppresses every cell under five. Its county prevalence tables give St. Joseph County's persons living with HIV disease, in full: as of 31 December 2010, 474 people (333 male, 141 female; by the report's race/ethnicity columns, 186 white, 264 Black, 17 Hispanic, 6 multi-race, Asian suppressed under five); as of 31 December 2011, 483 people (337 male, 146 female); as of 30 June 2012, 507 people (355 male, 152 female). The series continues annually — the 2022 and 2024 reports carry the same county structure (new reports for the year, deaths reported by county, persons living with HIV disease by county, with total Indiana deaths among persons with HIV disease reported since 1981 standing at 8,402 in the 2024 report) — but the 2024 report's county map figures could not be extracted reliably from the published file in this run, and no 2024 county figure is printed rather than a garbled one; the dated 2010–2012 county series above is the official record at full extracted strength, and the current county figure's settler is the current Spotlight prevalence table read directly. The CDP test: IDOH publishes HIV data by county and, for some programs, by ZIP — never by census-designated place or township. No HIV or AIDS figure for Granger CDP, Clay Township or Harris Township exists in the official record, and no occurrence of HIV or AIDS stood in any fragment of this build before this section. The absence is therefore printed as what it is: TESTED — the official record counts this epidemic by county only; a place count does not exist to be found, which closes the HIV half at official-record strength without inventing a local number or a local story. No person is named; no anecdote is printed; per the row's discipline there is nothing else to print.

COVID-19 in three parts, each dated — the county's course and toll: the St. Joseph County Department of Health's own data summaries date the curve: 5 June 2020, 1,342 confirmed cases countywide and 54 deaths (50 of them county residents); 12 June 2020, 1,490 cases and 62 deaths (59 residents); then the winter crest in the department's weekly summaries — 11 February 2021, 28,950 cases and 455 resident deaths; 25 February, 30,045 cases, 515 deaths; 11 March, 31,003 cases, 522 deaths; 25 March, 32,093 cases, 528 deaths; 1 April 2021, 32,807 cases, 534 deaths. The pandemic whole for the county, in the state-and-federal-sourced aggregate (USAFacts, from state reporting, final update July 2023): 70,600 reported cases and 863 reported deaths. The figures print dated and by instrument, because they are different instruments' counts and do not reconcile into one line. Its public-health orders: the county's orders ran inside the state's — Indiana's staged reopening and mask requirements of 2020, executed and enforced locally by the department whose COVID summaries above are themselves the local instrument — and the county course whole (order by order) is South Bend's build's, as Health & Care prints; no separate Clay/Harris or CDP order existed or could exist for an unincorporated place, and none is claimed. Its vaccination campaign, dated from the department's own tables: first doses administered to county residents stood at 30,564 on 11 February 2021 (8,957 fully vaccinated), 50,865 on 11 March (29,218 fully), and 72,775 on 1 April 2021 (53,337 fully) — the campaign's first ninety days in the department's own count, run on this ground through the county clinics and the corridors' pharmacies as Health & Care records. The place count: Health & Care's GAP-HLT-7 stands and is confirmed — Indiana published by county and by ZIP (archived 15 Nov. 2023); ZIP 46530 is not the CDP; no CDP series was ever published; settlers: the archived ZIP dataset read with the ZIP's shape in view, and the county department's clinic records.
