LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 5/12/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Unfortunately, we now have no counties in the "green-on-track" range, and 2 other of our counties moved from "yellow-community-spread" to "orange-accelerated". We also have a couple of counties bordering on returning to "red-critical". Thus, our 7-day average incidence chart is now showing only 3 counties in the "yellow-community-spread" category, Clinton, Cumberland, and Wayne; and 7 counties in the "orange-accelerated": Adair, Casey, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, Russell, and Taylor. For the first time in several days, we are able to report fewer new cases today than for the same time period last week. This caused our districtwide 7-day-average-incidence rate of new cases per 100,000 to go down slightly. This is still a high number of new cases and is not surprising since our COVID-19 vaccine uptake rate is lower than the state average in all 10 of our district's 10 counties. Our citizens need to take the vaccine, which is safe and very effective. Of our almost 18,000 new cases since the vaccine started becoming available, almost 99% of them had not taken any doses of the vaccine. The statistics are even better for those who have been fully vaccinated. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 3.08%. Deaths: We are pleased to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 426 deaths resulting in a 1.92% 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 8 cases in the hospital. This is equal to what we reported yesterday. We have had a total of 1,232 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.54% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 18) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 4.95%. The latest data shows that 86.67% of Lake Cumberland's ICU beds are filled, and 19.35% of ventilator capacity is being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 22,236 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 10.64% 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, 0.48% are reinfections, and 1.24% contracted the virus after having received at least 1 dose of the vaccine. Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 26 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 2; Casey: 2; Clinton: 1; McCreary: 3; Pulaski: 10; Russell: 1; Taylor: 6; and, Wayne: 1. In all, we have released 97.2% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: We added 15 more cases today than we had deceased and/or released cases. This leaves us with 186 active cases in our district across all 10 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, Schools, and Medical Facilities. Of our active cases, 5% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases). New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 41 today: Adair: 4; Casey: 5; Clinton: 1; Green: 2; McCreary: 3; Pulaski: 16; Taylor: 9; and, Wayne: 1. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.001. This means our total case count is projected to double every 518.63 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:
