Governors Rev Up Momentum on Infrastructure

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - The co-chairs of the National Governors Association (NGA)'s Economic Recovery and Revitalization Task Force discussed the vital federal-state partnership on infrastructure during a meeting with fellow Governors as they demonstrate bipartisan leadership on a key issue to post-pandemic economic recovery.

Governors Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Henry McMaster of South Carolina joined Maine Governor Janet Mills, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Vermont Governor Phil Scott and Maryland Governor Larry Hogan for a discussion on infrastructure and long-term reauthorization of surface transportation funding, which is the linchpin of the federal-state partnership on highways, mass transit and other ground transportation. The Governors discussed various forms of infrastructure, including roads, bridges and culverts; clean water; electrification of transportation; resiliency and security; and leveraging investments from the private sector.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 3/26/2021

By Amy Tomlinson
Lake Cumberland District Health Department

As far as area vaccination efforts go, the charts below will show that the early vaccination efforts were focused mostly on those 65 and older, and for the last week, the uptake had been primarily among those in the 50-64 age range. To achieve the herd immunity we need to defeat this virus, we certainly need more folks 49 and under to take the vaccine.

We added 210 cases this week compared to 182 last week. We had several cases this week that were "opened and closed" on the same day. Some of these, 24, were old cases that were added to our numbers as we reconciled our data. Even if we back those out, we still added slightly more cases than last week (186 vs 182). On the positive, only one case passed away during the last 7 days, and we have 20 hospitalized cases compared to 21 last Friday. Our active cases are 164 today compared to 175 last Friday.

While our 7-day average incidence rate went up this week, it should be noted that the data is skewed due to the high number of same-day "opened and closed" cases. As noted above, however, even backing out the "open and closed" cases, our 7-day average incidence rate would have still gone up slightly. Our 7-day average incidence chart is showing 2 counties in the "yellow-community-spread" category, Cumberland, and Green; 6 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: Adair, Casey, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne; and 2 counties in the "red-critical" range: Clinton, and McCreary. Again, keep in mind, some of these are skewed due to the reason listed above.

Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 2.8%.
