Governor: Vaccines in sight; fight harder than ever By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear encouraged Kentuckians to stay strong in the fight against COVID-19, as the commonwealth is just days away from beginning to administer life-saving vaccines. "These vaccines are right around the corner. Within the next 10 days or so we might be giving out the first vaccines," said Gov. Beshear. "That means every loss of life and every extra infection that happens between now and then is entirely avoidable. So let's fight harder than we ever have and do our part as Team Kentucky."

Letter: Deeply rooted Billy Joe Fudge writes: And I might add that this fungi is not just growing on the bark of what looks to be an Oak tree; it is deeply rooted in and feeding upon dead and rotting heartwood. This means that given just a little time, gravity and wind, this heart rot will have its way with the tree. Judging from the picture and nature itself, this tree could be a clear and present danger, either now or in the near future, to people or property should it be in the vicinity of either or both.Comments re: Letter: Mushroom looks like Pleurotus pulmonarius Billy Joe is right, and there were quite a few more of these mushrooms growing up and down the tree in question. Luckily, it's located away from structures or trails in one of the local parks. --Pen Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2020-12-04 11:03:19 | Comments | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 12/3/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department I failed to mention it yesterday, but yesterday we experienced a record number of new cases, 288.

Letter: Mushroom looks like Pleurotus pulmonarius Marie Freeman writes: As always with one fungus it is an assumption! "Pleurotus pulmonarius, commonly known as the Indian Oyster, Italian Oyster, Phoenix Mushroom, or the Lung Oyster, is a mushroom very similar to Pleurotus ostreatus, the pearl oyster, but with a few noticeable differences. The caps of pulmonarius are much paler and smaller than ostreatus and develops more of a stem. P. pulmonarius also prefers warmer weather than ostreatus and will appear later in the summer. Otherwise, the taste and cultivation of the two species is generally described as largely the same. In North America, P. pulmonarius also closely resembles Pleurotus populinus, which is restricted to growing on aspen and cottonwood." --https://fungusid.comComments re: Unidentified mushroom Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2020-12-04 06:19:22 | Comments | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Letter: Mushroom identification James Roberts writes: I think that these are called oyster mushrooms. Some people call them shelf mushrooms also. That can damage trees by destroying the heart of the tree causing it to die from the inside out. They usually grow where the tree has been damaged sometime in the past. Hope this helps. --JamesComments re: Unidentified mushroom Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2020-12-04 06:14:31 | Comments | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Governor updates on vaccine allocations By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that Kentucky has surpassed 2,000 COVID-19 deaths and the positivity rate is now higher than 10%. He also updated Kentuckians on the distribution plan for the commonwealth's initial COVID-19 vaccine shipments. Long-term care residents and staff, as well as health care professionals, will be inoculated first. "Today, we passed some tough milestones both in the country and here in Kentucky. Today is the toughest day our country has ever seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, as we lost more people than any other day this year. We're also at record hospitalizations across America," said Gov. Beshear. "This ought to show us and tell us that now, more than ever, we need to do the right things to protect those around us." In total, Kentucky is expected to receive 38,025 COVID-19 vaccine doses in the first round of shipments from the federal government. These doses are all for the initial vaccine; booster shots will be delivered approximately three weeks later. Both Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines require an initial dose and a booster dose. The Governor emphasized that the state's total doses and the plan for where those will be distributed are subject to change.
