General Assembly overrides budget vetoes By Robert Weber, LRC Frankfort, KY - The General Assembly on Wednesday voted to override Gov. Andy Beshear's vetoes of portions of a one-year $11.3 billion state Executive Branch budget. All 18 gubernatorial vetoes to the state budget bill, or House Bill 352, were read by bill sponsor and House Appropriations and Revenue Chair Rep. Steven Rudy, R-Paducah, before he called the House to cast a single vote to override the vetoes. That vote passed, 57-33. In the Senate, the vote to override the vetoes on HB 352 was 27-7. Supporters of the governor's vetoes to HB 352 cited the need to give the governor more flexibility to address budget uncertainties in the face of a viral pandemic that has forced massive unemployment in Kentucky and nationally. The governor has cited a rising number of unemployment claims as one reason he vetoed language that he has said could limit the ability of state agencies to address the crisis.

LCDHD: Why we're assuming the virus is already widespread The assumption that COVID-19 is already widespread is made because of the number of confirmed cases from the limited testing so far, and the knowledge gained from other locations on how very, very easy it is to spread person-to-person. By Jelaine Harlow Lake Cumberland District Health Department We believe and work with the premise that COVID 19 is widespread, because that assumption is the best way to protect the health of our community. Although the risk of severe illness may be different for everyone, anyone can get and spread COVID-19. Everyone has a role to play in slowing the spread and protecting themselves, their family, and their community. (CDC.gov) The Lake Cumberland District Health Department (LCDHD) at the current time has experienced 115 Positive/Presumptive Positive cases in our 10-county district. Regardless of the confirmed case count for any Lake Cumberland County, we believe COVID-19 to be widespread. LCDHD is working with the Kentucky Department for Public Health to identify and contact all those who may have come in contact with the confirmed cases.

Nick Hale Since April 12-18 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators week, people all across the U.S. are expressing their gratitude to more than 200,000 individuals who are referred to as the "heroes behind the headsets."

State working on comprehensive testing plan By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen In his afternoon update on Wednesday, Gov. Beshear announced the first stage of a unique testing regime, starting with frontline health care workers, that is designed to save lives and get people back to work.

"It will test for antibodies for those who have been infected in the past and may have developed immunity," the Governor said. Gov. Beshear said we are unleashing the capabilities of a special asset we have in our state, the Louisville Center for Predictive Medicine, which has state-of-the-art facilities for BSL-3 biocontainment research.
