Governor: Dangerous rise in cases requires urgent action By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear warned Kentuckians that at this time we face significant danger from COVID-19. Eighty counties are in the red zone as cases, hospitalizations and deaths increase rapidly. Monday's positivity rate was the highest since May 5. "If you're not wearing a mask, you're putting yourself at a real risk for contracting COVID," said Gov. Beshear. "This is happening everywhere, which means we can't bring in health care workers from other places. If everywhere is surging, we're going to end up on our own. That means if we get overrun and we don't have enough staff in hospitals, it's our friends, our neighbors, maybe even our family members who won't get the treatment they need." Community leaders, schools, businesses and families in red zone counties should follow reduction recommendations (PDF) (school-specific recommendations here: cv19ModeofInstructionMetricsforK-12Education (PDF). "We are clearly at the worst place we have been for this disease," said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health. "It took us almost 15 weeks from the start of this pandemic in Kentucky just to get to the number of cases we had last week alone."

Letter: Montpelier house has rich history Tamara L Andrew writes: Linda, this old house belonged to my husbands family on his mother's side and now to him. It was used during the civil war to house slaves and is separated into two halves upstairs with one entrance being in the front door and the other entrance being in the back door. You could not access each half from upstairs. You had to walk past the downstairs bedrooms to get to the stairs either way. The women were kept in one half and the men in the other half. There was a secret room upstairs also to hide them if need be.Comments re: Still standing in Montpelier 2020-11-09 14:30:23 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
