Gov.: Vaccines save lives, keep schools open, protect economy By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Thursday during his weekly Team Kentucky update, Gov. Andy Beshear said Kentucky's economic momentum continues to build as more Kentuckians get vaccinated, fighting the commonwealth's fastest ever surge of COVID-19 cases. "The delta variant is the most aggressive, and it looks like it may be the most deadly, form of COVID that we have faced," said Gov. Beshear. "If you are unvaccinated, you are at the very greatest risk that you have been at since the start of the pandemic. COVID has been the third leading cause of death in the United States over the past year and a half. Right now, it's putting more pressure than it ever has before on our health care heroes." The Governor highlighted a recent warning that Mississippi's hospital system could fail in 10 days because of an exponential rise in COVID-19 cases among unvaccinated residents. On Aug. 10, Arkansas officials reported there were only eight empty ICU beds in the entire state. Health care leaders from across Kentucky emphasized the risks of not getting vaccinated for COVID-19.

Letter: Good grief! Don't delay school Letter in response to the delaying of school start in Adair: Good grief! School can start with masks, while those who want to fight the mandate can do so. WHY mess up a school calendar already over difference of opinions of wearing a mask? Sure there are those who disagree and don't like a mask, but it's not going to harm anyone to comply so the CHILDREN can return to school!Comments re: Official Delay of School Announcement 2021-08-12 12:09:53 | Comments | Printable version

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information 8-11-2021 By Sam Price Lake Cumberland District Health Department New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 137 since our last report. Our new cases (including suspect cases) are as follows: Adair: 13; Casey: 13; Clinton: 1; Cumberland: 2; Green: 4; McCreary: 12; Pulaski: 43; Russell: 17; Taylor: 23; and, Wayne: 9. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.00381. This means our total case count is projected to double every 182.05 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 12/30/2020 when we added 301 cases. We are saddened to report one additional death this evening - a Taylor County resident (unvaccinated) who had previously been released from isolation, but later succumbed to lasting effects of the illness. Our hearts break for this family. This individual was in the 60-69 age range. If you notice a difference in our numbers this evening, it's because we deleted one duplicate case from Pulaski County. Additionally, out of today's 137 reported cases, 36 of them were in individuals age 18 or under. We are seeing more and more cases in this younger population. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 11.22%. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2021-08-12 09:27:36 | Comments | Printable version
Letter: Masks in school sounds smart Mary Knight writes: With an Adair County vaccination rate of 31.67%, and a statewide positivity rate of 11%, masks in schools sounds like a smart move, to me. Masks are a pain, especially since I have realized how much lip reading I actually do. But masks protect, and I don't want to lose any of those lips I want to read!!!Comments re: Official Delay of School Announcement 2021-08-12 07:26:52 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
