For many of us, the word “outbreak” has taken a more personal meaning this year.For the people of Austin, Indiana, it’s not the first time they’ve dealt with an outbreak.“We’re an itty-bitty town, but we got big city problems,” said Austin resident Ethan Howard.By 2015, the opioid crisis had ravaged Howard’s hometown for years. People became hooked on painkillers and often used needles to take them. The same syringes would be passed from person to person.Dr. William Cooke arrived in Austin in 2004. Back then, he was the town’s only doctor. In fact, he was the town’s first doctor in a generation. He says he saw several issues in the southern Indiana community, including people’s health to poverty.As the opioid crisis started to wrap its grip across parts of the country, Dr. Cooke says he started to see another health issue spread in the community, starting around 2010.“What we saw was a really quick in dramatic rise in Hepatitis C around that time,” Dr. Cooke said. “Any community that has a high Hepatitis C rate is at high risk for an HIV outbreak.”By 2015, the opioid crisis had ravaged the city for years.“Opiates were my devil,” Howard recalled.Howard says his mom convinced him one day to go get tested, after he says he had shared a needle with his cousin.His test revealed he was positive for HIV.“I thought I was dead. I thought it was a death sentence,” Howard said.He wasn’t alone with testing positive for HIV in Austin.“In that first year, we had almost 200 cases,” Dr. Cooke said. “It was almost a quarter of the HIV cases in the state and this is a town of 4,200 people.”Austin had become home to one of the largest HIV outbreaks in rural America ever.Dr. Cooke helped convince then-Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to change his stance on needle exchanges.“It took a few months, but eventually, he signed the executive order allowing us to operate syringe service programs here,” Cooke said.That program, access to addiction recovery services and powerful HIV medicine has led to a dramatic drop in new cases.In 2015, Scott County, Indiana had 157 new HIV cases. In 2019, the county had only five, according to the Indiana Department of Health."The medications today are powerful enough and well tolerated enough that you should not spread the disease to anyone else and you should never worry about dying from HIV,” Dr. Cooke said.Dr. Cooke says Austin is still working to overcome some of the social challenges he found when he first arrived in the community in 2004.It’s been five years after the largest HIV outbreak in Indiana history. Like many communities across the world, this one is now dealing with the impacts of COVID-19.Nurse Jessica Howard is a proud native of Austin. She’s seen the challenges her community has faced over the years. She also sees the good in Austin, pointing to a local church pantry providing food and clothes to those in need.Jessica Howard in charge of coronavirus testing at Dr. Cooke’s office. She grew up in Austin and knows many of the patients that come through the door.As of early July, Scott County has not seen a large amount of coronavirus cases like other parts of the country, but the nurse worries about her patients that struggle with addiction who are now in quarantine and could relapse."These are people these are our people and we have to take care of them and protect them,” she said.Austin has come a long way from where it was in 2015, when HIV spread through a large part of the community.Last year, Dr. Cooke was named by American Academy of Family Physicians the AAFP 2019 Family Physician of the Year for his efforts to help stop the 2015 HIV outbreak.As for Howard, he says medication has made it so HIV is no longer detectable in his blood.He now travels as a musician and points to music as a source of strength that helped him through the darkest of times.“I fought and clawed my way out of a dark place,” Howard said.His fighting spirit is one this small Indiana city has used to battle through crisis before.“We’ve been through a healthcare disaster before,” Dr. Cooke said. “And there is a light on at the end of a tunnel.”It’s a mindset Dr. Cooke says we need now, as we all fight this new crisis of a coronavirus pandemic. 4221

For the first time, the FDA has authorized coronavirus tests that can be sold directly to Americans who do not have to go through a health care provider.An emergency use authorization is not a full approval from the FDA, but allows the tests to be used in a non-clinical or non-hospital setting.The LabCorp’s Pixel COVID-19 Test Home Collection Kit can be used by any adult age 18 or over. The test kit allows individuals to take a nasal swab at home and send the sample to LabCorp for testing.Those who test positive will receive a call from a health care provider. Negative tests are delivered via an online portal or through email.The FDA says that the tests can be purchased online or in stores, and can help people determine whether they need to quarantine.“This is the first kit for consumers to self-collect a nasal sample for COVID-19 in their home that does not require a prescription,” said Jeff Shuren, M.D., J.D., director of FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. “While many home collection kits can be prescribed with a simple online questionnaire, this newly authorized direct-to-consumer collection kit removes that step from the process, allowing anyone to collect their sample and send it to the lab for processing.”The company says the out of pocket cost is 9 for those who do not have the test covered by insurance. The tests take one to two days to process, once received via FedEx.“With the first over-the-counter at-home collection kit ever authorized by the FDA for COVID-19, we are empowering people to learn about their health and make confident decisions,” said Dr. Brian Caveney, chief medical officer and president of LabCorp Diagnostics . “With this authorization, we can help more people get tested, reduce the spread of the virus and improve the health of our communities.” 1828

FREDERICK, Colorado — Family friends of the Watts family say they're dumbfounded, confused, lost.The man who hosted Chris Watts and his little girls for a kid’s birthday party just days before they vanished said Thursday he is still trying to process everything that's happened since.  Jeremy Lindstrom offers a new perspective on who Chris Watts was, before the man allegedly confessed?to murdering his wife and the couple's two daughters.“You know, the hardest part about it all is — when you're closer to the family... is the 'why?'” Lindstrom said. “The why gets bigger."Why did Lindstrom's good friend, Chris, allegedly murder his entire family?"We're dumbfounded,” Lindstrom said Thursday night. “We don't get it. Lost."PHOTOS: Chris Watts arrested, charged for family deathsWhile attending the party at Lindstrom's home, the girls were happy. They were normal. And so was Chris — or so it seemed."He would reach out and help anybody that needed help with anything,” Lindstrom said. “He was a good mechanic if you needed help with your car — he'd help you. If you needed help with furniture, he'd be over there in a heartbeat to help you out. You don't know what, when, why, where or how everything goes weird."And Lindstrom says we may never know, exactly."It's just horrible,” he said. “Why do people do this? Why does it come down to this? There had to have been an easier route." 1437
