208 New Coronavirus Cases in Lake Cumb. District; 1 New Death.....

 

SATURDAY, DEC. 12TH REPORT

 

Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 8.79%.

 

Deaths: We are sad to report 1 new death today. We have experienced a total of 176 deaths resulting in a 1.61% mortality rate (about 1 in 62) among known cases. This compares with a 0.99% mortality rate at the state level, and a 1.86% mortality rate at the national level. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families and friends who have lost loved ones.

 

Hospitalizations: We presently have 73 cases* in the hospital. This is 7 more than what we reported yesterday. We have had a total of 651 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.96% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 17) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 5.12%. The latest data shows that 97.8% of Lake Cumberland’s ICU beds are filled, and 36.8% of ventilator capicity is being utilized. (*This number is an estimation. Due to the high numbers, we only check with the hospitals on Fridays now. Therefore, the best time to see the most accurate hospital data will be in the Saturday News Brief.)

 

Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 10,919 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 5.23% of our total population have 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.

 

Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 223 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 16; Casey: 15; Clinton: 9; Cumberland: 4; Green: 12; McCreary: 36; Pulaski: 63; Russell: 12; Taylor: 21; and, Wayne: 35. In all, we have released 86.3% of our total cases.

 

Active (Current) Cases: Taking into account deaths and releases, our active cases decreased by 16 more than the new cases we added today. This leaves us with 1316 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, 1336.

 

Where Did Cases Visit Prior to Isolation: The most common places cases visited prior to isolation are (in descending order): Businesses, Family, Long-term Care/Residential Facilities, and Medical Facilities. Of our active cases, 9% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases).

 

New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 208 today: Adair: 6; Casey: 16; Clinton: 14; Cumberland: 7; Green: 7; McCreary: 17; Pulaski: 77; Russell: 8; Taylor: 18; and, Wayne: 38. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.02. This means our total case count is projected to double every 34.38 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 12/02/2020 when we added 288 cases.

The death we announce today is an 87-year-old female from Clinton who had been hospitalized. This was a very difficult week as far as COVID-19 related deaths are concerned as we experienced 20 COVID-19 related deaths.

 

At 1,336, we reached our peak number of active cases since the onset of the outbreak on 12/10/20. As of today, at a total of 73, we are only 2 away from having a record number of hospitalized cases. Last Saturday we were at 63 hospitalized cases. Further, compared to last Saturday, we have 158 additional active cases (1158 vs 1316). We added 1,436 new cases this week compared to 1,330 last week. At our present growth-rate, our total cases are expected to double in just over 34 days. If that growth-rate holds, over those same 34 days we will go from 5% to 10% of our total population having tested positive for COVID-19.

 

While our growth-rate slowed a bit this week, this was the sharpest growth-rate week statewide since the onset of the outbreak. Nevertheless, several of the Governor’s restrictions are set to expire tomorrow night. We hope with all of heart that this does not create a false sense of security. We are still in a period of accelerated growth and everyone should continue to be vigilant with personal precautions. So, let’s all do our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing our face coverings, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing our hand hygiene, increasing our general sanitation, and by avoiding the touching of our faces.

 

The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 10,919 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 222,565 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 220,660 statewide plus 1,905 recently reported cases in Lake Cumberland not in the Governor’s Department for Public Health’s daily report). Regardless of the confirmed case count for any Lake Cumberland County, we believe COVID-19 to be widespread. The LCDHD is working tirelessly, including nights and weekends, to identify and contact all those with whom any positive case may have come into close contact, and to follow-up daily with positive cases. Additionally, we are striving diligently to follow-up on business-related complaints regarding noncompliance with the Governor’s Executive Orders. We are also working with any community partner that requests assistance for prevention or post-exposure planning/response.
