Governor: KY Health care officials sound the alarm on delta

Kentucky Doctor on COVID-19: 'It's hard to tell a 40-year-old they're going to be dead within 24 hours and there's nothing we can do.'

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - On Thursday during his weekly Team Kentucky update, Gov. Andy Beshear said the state is supporting hospitals in the fight against COVID-19 with expanded personnel and testing assistance, as health care professionals sound the alarm on the delta variant's threat, even to young Kentuckians.

From March 2020 to May 2021, before the delta variant was dominant in the United States, 74% of COVID-19 deaths in Kentucky were among those 70 and older, and 98% were among those 50 and older. From June 2021 to Sept. 15, 2021, once the delta variant became dominant, the share of younger COVID-19 patients dying increased significantly. During that time, 48% of COVID-19 deaths in Kentucky were among those 70 and older, and 88% were among those 50 and older.

"The No.1 thing that we can do to get through this is to get vaccinated," said Gov. Beshear. "I think the tough conversations we're having with those we love who may be hesitant to get the vaccine are making a difference, but we need a lot more of those conversations."

As of today, Kentucky has 93 total adult ICU beds left. Out of 96 Kentucky hospitals, 66 are experiencing critical staffing shortages.

Senator Max Wise: Special Session wrap-up

By Senator Max Wise

The Kentucky General Assembly utilized its authority to shape the state's response to the pandemic during a three-day special session ending just before midnight on Thursday, September 9. Upon the Governor's call for a session, we passed bills in both the House and Senate dealing with many aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Republican supermajorities took a balanced approach by focusing on public health, individual liberties, and localized control.

Recently, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that a lower court incorrectly blocked laws passed during the 2021 Regular Session reigning in the executive authority regarding emergency powers. After a long and grueling effort to ensure the representative branch of government's duly elected members had a seat at the table, that need has finally been realized.

With that, the legislature used this special session to extend some emergency executive actions and eliminate others. New COVID-19 mitigation strategies were also considered to provide relief to institutions strained by the pandemic, including schools, hospitals, businesses, and nursing homes.

First, as Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Education, it was important to me that we get our COVID-19 response concerning the operation of our school system correct.

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear said the state has paid more than $65 million in rent and utility relief to Kentuckians during the pandemic, including more than $51 million since March, to help keep them in their homes and keep their electricity and water on. The Governor encouraged Kentuckians to apply for the remaining $152 million available to Kentuckians for rent and utility assistance.

"We know this is a difficult time, and we will continue to work tirelessly with our partners to provide rent and utility relief to Kentucky families," said Gov. Beshear. "I encourage Kentuckians to apply for the $152 million in available assistance so we can keep them in their homes."

Sept. 19-25 is Farm Safety and Health Week in KY

By Sean Southard

Frankfort, KY - Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Ryan Quarles has proclaimed Sept.19-25 as Farm Safety and Health Week in Kentucky to encourage farmers and farm workers to put their health and safety first at all times. The theme for this year's safety week is "Farm Safety Yields Real Results."

"Farmers face a number of risks in the course of their work, from machinery accidents, chemical exposure, unruly livestock, grain bin entrapment, severe weather, and many others," Commissioner Quarles said. "In Kentucky, we have made great strides to mitigate these risks to make farming safer than ever before. But one farm injury is one too many. 'Farm Safety Yields Real Results,' isn't just the theme for this year's farm safety and health week, it should be a guiding principle for our farmers. Whether you are on the farm, on the road, or in the home, please take that extra step to protect yourself and those around you."

In addition to reminding farmers to keep safety top of mind and reminding drivers to share the road as we approach harvest season, the KDA is also embarking on a new campaign --"Raising Hope - Supporting Healthy Lives on Kentucky Farms" -- that focuses strategies on the mental and physical health of agricultural producers. The campaign is made possible with appropriations from the General Assembly and partnerships with state universities and other state agencies.

Flag dedicated on 9/11 to first responders

By Gerard Flanagan

Campbellsville, KY - Bill Cassell, like many, can recall where he was and what he was doing in vivid detail 20 years ago on September 11, 2001.

Even though Campbellsville was hundreds of miles away from the sites of the attacks, Cassell, the Campbellsville Chief of Police on 9/11, remembers the uncertainty and worry of that day.

However, Cassell, who is now an assistant professor of criminal justice at Campbellsville University, more vividly remembers the determination of his fellow first responders on that day, and he spoke about that during a flag dedication ceremony on 9/11 at Campbellsville University's Mass Communication Center.

Last year community members came together to offer local kids a chance to Trick or Treat safely during covid restrictions while also bringing back the fun of door-to-door style Trick or Treating. We created the Adair Co. Drive Thru Trick or Treat Extravaganza.

Locals, Subdivisions, Communities and Businesses submitted their addresses and committed to offering Trick or Treating in a Drive-Thru fashion. We compiled a list of all those participating and posted it on our Facebook page (Adair County Drive-Thru Trick or Treat Extravaganza). Last year, we had a huge turnout county wide. Parents reached out to us in hopes we'd do it again this year. We are happy to announce that we will be.

If your home, community, subdivision or business would like to participate and commit to offering safe, prepackaged treats this Halloween, please message us on our Facebook page "Adair County Drive-Thru Trick or Treat Extravaganza" or you may email shannon@statelinesteel.com with the address/area you'll be handing out treats at.

During International Week of Deaf People Sept. 20-26, KCDHH is highlighting ongoing efforts for social inclusion, communication during a crisis and awareness of organizations that support people who are deaf and hard of hearing.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, KCDHH Executive Director Virginia Moore, a licensed American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, and two of her staff interpreters have delivered Gov.

Emergency preparedness - sources of light

From Emory Kidd, Director
Metcalfe County Emergency Management


Tips during September preparedness month: Let there be light! There is nothing more frustrating than grabbing a flashlight and - it's dead.

Keeping light sources and batteries, if needed, are critical. Rechargeable flashlights are great in the short term but will last only a limited time before they need recharging.

Candles and lanterns will work, but be sure to use them carefully. Having a "shakable" flashlight or two is handy as well - one that uses magnetic induction to create a charge. (Don't ask me to explain the science - it works.)

If possible, try to keep all your lights that depend on batteries using the same size battery, as well, and keep your battery supply rotated.

Don't forget to have one or two in the car as well.
