Daily News for Tuesday, January 19, 2021
Letter: The Checker Room Doug Campbell writes: E. Campbell, my grandfather, always encouraged me to tag along as he made his rounds around town. The Checker room and the little building at the fairgrounds next to the croquet court were a couple of our favorite haunts. It was 50 years ago but I can still smell the cedar shavings that carpeted the floor and feel the heat from old wood stove. I was quick to learn not to stand too close to the spittoon! Eventually we'd make our way to Circle R for a fish sandwich and the best French fries on the planet.Comments re: The Checker Room 2021-01-19 17:28:04 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Governor: New hospital funding, COVID-19 cases, vaccines By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Tuesday, Gov. Andy Beshear updated Kentuckians on increased funding for Kentucky hospitals, COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 vaccines as well as bills he is vetoing because they are unconstitutional and a threat to Kentucky lives during this pandemic. "I come to you today as our country passes a grim milestone of losing 400,000 Americans to the coronavirus. That is a staggering loss. It's so large it's hard to actually see it in your mind, to process how big it is," said Gov. Beshear. "You could fill up both UK and UofL stadiums three-and-a-quarter times and that would represent the number of lives, the number of people that we have lost in America." The Governor said 332,450 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been received in Kentucky and 221,440 doses have been administered. Of the doses administered, 36,970 have been given to long-term care facility residents and staff. More than 83,000 doses were administered from Jan. 10 to 16, about 16,000 more than were administered the week prior. Of the doses administered, 209,736 were first doses and 11,704 were booster doses. The Governor said Kentucky is now administering the vaccine faster than the federal government is sending it new doses. The state expects to receive 56,175 new doses next week. Kentucky has been recognized as one of only nine states that have administered more than half of the doses they've received.

Two COVID-19 testing options now available at NCP By Easton Bryant, PharmD I love rolling out new products and services to our community. I really do. Maybe this shows I’m not much of a thrill seeker, but it’s almost a rush for me! Sometimes the opportunity to be considered makes perfect sense, sometimes it doesn’t, and sometimes it’s unclear. Ultimately, however, it simply comes down to this: Does it provide value to you, our community?
