LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 2/10/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department We are glad for no new deaths today. Our district's ICU capacity, though, is experiencing over 97% utilization and the ventilator capacity or our area hospitals is at 40% usage. We added more new cases today than last Wednesday. Thus, our 7-day average incidence rate went up slightly. We are glad to see Cumberland drop into the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread. All our other 9 counties remain in the "red-critical" range of community-spread. COVID-19 Vaccination Status Regional Hubs: The Governor recently announced additional sites where vaccines for Phase 1a and 1b, including 70 and older, have opened. More sites, including more Lake Cumberland area sites, will be opening in the weeks to come. You may call 1-855-598-2246, or visit vaccine.ky.gov to find out if you are eligible and where you can receive the vaccine. Remember, supplies are still limited, it may take several weeks to secure an appointment. Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital: Five hundred prime/1st dose vaccines are coming into the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital each week for folks in the 1a and 1b group, including those 70 and older. Their COVID-19 hotline phone number 1-844-675-3390. Nursing and Personal Care Homes: Locally, through a contract with the federal government, Walgreens and CVS pharmacies continue to vaccinate the long-term care facilities and personal care homes -- residents and staff. Health Department: Right now, all of our appointment slots are filled. Please do not leave your information on our answering machines or voice mails. We are not keeping any sort of waiting list. We have hope that we will start getting a consistent allocation of vaccine soon. Watch our Daily Brief and social media for updates.

Carol Perkins: Guy is ready to get back on the road Previous Column: Day Trips By Carol Perkins I rinse my pots and pans before hand washing them and all the other items, even those that go in the dishwasher. Nothing worse than loose food floating on top of dishwater. After baking a couple of cakes, I was rinsing my items, laying them on the counter before filling the sink to wash them. Guy wandered in to see what I was doing and picked up a measuring cup. "I think this might need a little more washing." I turned to him. "That hasn't been washed yet. By the way, get out of my kitchen!" I joked. He put down the measuring cup and threw up his hands! The last thing a cook wants is a critic in the kitchen. We cooks have our ways of doing things.

Fiscal Court votes to close Recycling Center By Bridget Compton The Adair County Recycling Center will be closed effective immediately, as voted on by the Adair County Fiscal Court at last night's meeting. It saddens me the County has to do this since we have so many within the county that utilize these services but after hearing the public's comments and suggestions it was decided in lieu of adding an additional tax burden on the community to make cuts within and the Recycling Center has always been a service to make Adair County better not a profit making or self-sustaining operation. I want to personally thank all of the dedicated citizens who have kept tons of garbage out of our dumps by recycling and strive to make Adair County a clean and beautiful place to live. 2021-02-10 09:01:57 | Comments | Printable version
