LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 6/24/2020

By Amy Tomlinson
Lake Cumberland District Health Department

New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 8 today: Adair: 1; Casey: 1; McCreary: 1; Pulaski: 1; and, Taylor: 4. The new cases include:
  • Adair: A 45-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Casey: A 85-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • McCreary: A 48-year-old female who is self-isolated, asymptomatic
  • Pulaski: A 3-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Taylor: A 36-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Taylor: A 18-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Taylor: A 47-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Taylor: A 58-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
Today the growth rate for new cases of COVID-19 in Kentucky increased from 1.01 to 1.02. This means that cases have gone from doubling about every 70 days to doubling about every 35 days. This is especially significant since this is calculated based on new cases divided by total cases. Since the new cases were greatly slowed during the economic shut-down, it has taken some time for the new case rate to increase enough to impact the growth rate. In short, new cases are ramping up.

Governor's Wednesday update: School opening guidance

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Wednesday updated Kentuckians on the state's actions to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).

"We are going to get through this because we have shown, even with a worldwide health pandemic, we can come together, unite, know what it takes, and manage something as aggressive and deadly as COVID-19," the Governor said. "The only way we can reopen safely is if we continue to test and people work with our contact tracers."

Gov. Beshear and administration officials offered new guidance for Kentucky schools looking to open safely in the fall, new sites for in-person unemployment insurance claims service and new drive-through testing locations as part of the commonwealth's partnership with Kroger. Information was also provided about a major settlement that will provide millions of dollars to Kentucky's rural hospitals and major announcements aimed at making Kentucky's Appalachian region the AgriTech center of America.

Case Information
As of 4 p.m. June 24, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 14,363 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 229 of which were newly reported Wednesday.

Letter: Mallard duck or Cookie Duck

Pamela Dailey writes:
Pen, The photo is what we called a "cookie duck". Mallard drakes have an irridescent green head and blue speculum bordered by white. Mallard hens are brown with the blue speculum. The white on this duck indicates a crossbred of a species with a domestic which is very common on ponds and lakes where a group is fed by people with breadcrumbs or leftover cookies, hence the moniker. They are most likely not migratory and very tame, hanging around for part of your lunch.
Comments re: Birds of Kentucky: Mallard at Long Run

Pamela, thanks for writing. That's exactly what this duck was doing when he looked my way -- checking to see if I had any snacks. --Pen

Letter: Wishing for more affordable art activities for children

Writer's name on file, withheld by request

Dear Linda, I am happy to read your article online. I am raising a grandchild here in Adair Co. and would love to see more opportunities in the area regarding arts for her. Especially affordable ones.

This little girl would love to have dance classes like many of her friends, but we can not afford the driving constantly to Russell Springs or Campbellsville that would be required (we live some miles south of Columbia in Adair Co. as it is), nor afford the higher cost of the classes. SO wish there was a community-based center that could possibly have a variety of more affordable classes of some sort for children. My only thoughts have been; I have often wondered if somehow the college students who are talented could earn credits for volunteering time to teach children in the area such things for lower costs to the public.

Thank you for your heart for the children and the needs for them that are so very much important.

CU offers Master's Degree in Justice Studies

By Ariel C. Emberton

Campbellsville, KY - Dr. Dale Wilson, associate professor and director of criminal justice at Campbellsville University, recently discussed Campbellsville University's Master's Degree in Justice Studies. "Now more than ever, we need leaders who understand the diversity of American society. Leadership in criminal justice must be knowledgeable and transparent, ethical and fully understand the history that criminal justice has with many marginalized sectors of our society."

According to Wilson, the course has two tracks: criminology and public leadership and social justice.

Wilson said the criminology track is designed as a traditional course of study within criminal justice. It focuses on research and is targeted for those students who anticipate going on to obtain a Ph.D. or pursue academia.

The public service leadership and social justice track is designed for leaders in criminal justice organizations such as prisons or law enforcement, non-profits, or other government and private sector jobs that are in or collaborate with the criminal justice system.

Opinion: Coronavirus Make Clear Need For Rural Broadband

Dr. Ryan Quarles serves as Kentucky's Commissioner of Agriculture. This piece originally appeared in the June 2020 issue of Kentucky Farm Bureau Magazine.

Frankfort, KY - Across the nation, the coronavirus has highlighted issues in our food supply chain, our reliance on foreign countries for medical supplies, and the difference between strong, data-driven leaders and weak ones. But for Kentucky families and workers, perhaps the largest problem is one we've attempted to solve for years: internet connectivity, particularly in our rural communities.

I spoke with many parents over the course of the pandemic about the difficulties of balancing their new work-from-home life and remote instruction for students in their households. While nontraditional instruction days gave parents a newfound appreciation for our hardworking teachers, it also gave them a new sense of frustration with their Internet providers as they balanced student work on the web and work meetings via web camera.

And that's if you even had a level of connectivity. In some areas of our state, connectivity is so poor that parents drove their students across the county to McDonald's in hopes of higher speeds. Many metro areas have experienced similar issues, but they are fortunate to have received generations of investment from well-organized business sector interests. I don't fault those cities for having that investment, but we must do something to ensure rural Kentucky get its fair shake at connectivity.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 6/23/2020

By Amy Tomlinson
Lake Cumberland District Health Department

While it was a better day for Lake Cumberland, it was a tough day for the state, adding 315 cases (the largest jump in over two weeks), and 11 deaths.

We urge everyone to remember the guidance: we strongly encourage everyone to wear a mask when out in public, to avoid crowds, to social distance (stay 6-feet from others), to wash their hands with soap and water often and thoroughly, to stay home if they have a fever or are coughing, to increase sanitation, and to avoid touching their faces.

We were asked to explain why churches pose a greater risk than some other locations. Inside churches, factories, and similar locations, the 6-foot distance rule becomes less effective.

Generally speaking, the 6-foot distancing rule is for normal breathing, for a short period of time while with few others, and in a well-ventilated or open space. Singing or praising enthusiastically makes the 6-foot distance increasingly risky due to ejecting more particles more forcefully into the air. Not wearing masks increases the risk further. The longer you are with a group, the more risk. The more people in the group you are with, the more risk. The longer you are with a group in an enclosed space, even more risk. The older the population (and church members tend to skew toward the high-risk age group) or the number of people with compromised immune systems or other health issues, the riskier the interaction. Shaking hands or hugging adds additional risk.

Riskier places also include daycares and bars. However, we have had no cases that I am aware of associated with those types of facilities yet, but they have been largely closed, at least until this point.

Settlement secures $22M for area hospitals

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday announced $383 million in state and federal dollars for 54 rural hospitals by settling a 13-year-old dispute regarding Medicaid funding rates.

Distributions to area hospitals will include:
  • Taylor Regional Hospital, Campbellsville, $840,228
  • TJ Samson Community Hospital, Glasgow, $10,415,453
  • Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital, Somerset, $11,070,140
The settlement negotiated by Gov. Beshear, with support from Senate Majority Leader McConnell, successfully convinced the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to offer funding in combination with the state's liability of $93.9 million. The previous administration had budgeted an estimated $425 million in state funding to settle the case.

The Governor said the settlement saved the state more than $300 million and provides long-awaited funds immediately back to rural hospitals.
