LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 4/27/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department The CDC and the FDA have approved the resumption of utilizing the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. We will be resuming Johnson and Johnson clinics soon. We added fewer cases today than for the same time-period last week, so our 7-day average incidence rate per 100,000 went down also. Our 7-day average incidence chart is now showing 1 county in the "green-on-track" range, Cumberland; 5 counties in the "yellow-community-spread" category, Clinton, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, and Wayne; and 4 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: Adair, Casey, Russell, and Taylor. We are thankful to not have any "red-critical" counties now. Keep in mind, some of our 7-day-incidence data will be skewed over the next few days as we are reconciling our data against the state data. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 3.17%. Deaths: We are happy to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 417 deaths resulting in a 1.91% mortality rate (about 1 in 52) among known cases. This compares with a 1.47% mortality rate at the state level and a 1.78% mortality rate at the national level. Hospitalizations: We presently have 23 cases in the hospital. This is 2 less than what we reported yesterday. We have had a total of 1,224 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.6% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 18) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 4.93%. The latest data shows that 77.78% of Lake Cumberland's ICU beds are filled, and 24.59% of ventilator capacity is being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 21,853 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 10.46% 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. Of our total cases, 0.46% are reinfections. Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 17 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 2; Casey: 3; McCreary: 2; Pulaski: 5; Russell: 1; Taylor: 3; and, Wayne: 1. In all, we have released 97.5% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: We added 17 more cases today than we had deceased and/or released cases. This leaves us with 136 active cases in our district across 9 of our district's 10 counties. On 12/10/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 1,342. Where Did Cases Visit Prior to Isolation: The most common places cases visited prior to isolation are (in descending order): Family, Businesses, Medical Facilities, and Schools. Of our active cases, 1% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases). New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 34 today: Adair: 8; Casey: 3; Green: 2; McCreary: 1; Pulaski: 11; Russell: 6; and, Taylor: 3. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.001. This means our total case count is projected to double every 994.91 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 12/30/2020 when we added 301 cases. Today's new cases include:
