Disease and outbreak signals in Indianapolis's news coverage, with the state as context for thin city-level signals.
Outbreak anxiety is receding: disease outbreaks, vaccine-preventable disease coverage and influenza are all moving down. The exception is the pandemic's afterlife, with relief and restriction coverage rising. A 2021-04 vaccine-preventable disease event associated with 16 deaths keeps the stakes from feeling merely historical.
