COVID-19 News Brief & Vaccination Update 12/03/2021 By Sam Price Lake Cumberland District Health Department Of today's 117 reported cases, 98 (84%) were unvaccinated and 32 of today's cases (27%) were in individuals 18 years of age or younger. Please take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones. Consider getting the vaccine if you are eligible and haven't, and wear a mask when in indoor settings where there are large crowds. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 9.21%. Deaths: We are sad to report 3 new deaths since our last report. We have experienced a total of 736 deaths resulting in a 1.71% mortality rate (about 1 in 58) among known cases. This compares with a 1.4% mortality rate at the state level and a 1.61% mortality rate at the national level. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families and friends who have lost loved ones. Hospitalizations: We presently have 85 cases in the hospital. This is 1 more than what we reported in our last report. We have had a total of 1,799 hospitalizations resulting in a 4.18% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 24) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 4.19%. The latest data shows that 92% of Lake Cumberland's ICU beds are filled, and 21.92% of ventilator capacity is being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 43,083 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 20.62% of our total population has been a confirmed case. However, we do not know how many additional people may have had COVID-19 and were either asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and never tested. Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 36 cases since our last report from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 3; Casey: 1; Clinton: 5; Cumberland: 2; Green: 1; McCreary: 4; Pulaski: 10; Russell: 4; Taylor: 2; and, Wayne: 4. In all, we have released 96.7% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: Since our last report, we added 80 more cases than we had deceased and/or released cases. This leaves us with 684 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district's 10 counties. New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 119 since our last report. Our new cases (including suspect cases) are as follows: Adair: 17; Casey: 13; Clinton: 6; Cumberland: 19; Green: 6; McCreary: 13; Pulaski: 22; Russell: 3; Taylor: 14; and, Wayne: 6. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.00243. This means our total case count is projected to double every 285.14 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 09/07/2021 when we added 730 cases. The deaths reported today include a Pulaski County resident (unvaccinated) and two Taylor County residents (both unvaccinated). One case was moved from Pulaski County to Casey County when the address was verified. Again, we encourage our citizens to take the COVID-19 vaccine, which is safe and very effective. Of our 29,014 new cases since the vaccine started becoming available, almost 95.02% were unvaccinated.
