If you are a Governor when you open things back up ?

[CatsFanGG24]

What's your plan to secure supplies when you not only have to bid against other states with more capital, but also the federal government?
Factor in a supply chain based in production in China.
There a magical testing swab tree I can plant in my yard?

Well Andy, First thing I would do is understand the realistic need so that I’d have a realistic target. You will never have enough if you base your needs on BS numbers. They’ve failed on this quite a few times - we have 2400 built beds at fairgrounds and nutter field house...we have 250 or so hospitalized with Covid at the moment.

After I got realistic estimates of what I would need, I would lean into everyone in the medical field supply and shake the trees. I would then lean on Humana, UPS, Papa Johns and all of the humongous companies based here and check their contacts...while doing this I would also check into local companies to see if we have anything that could be converted. Finally, check in with the federal gov to see what I can obtain and give a realistic request - knowing that some states get more positive cases per day than we have had in 50 days total.

Put it to you this way - Kroger had to reach out to Beshear to open up drive thru testing sites, not the other way around...and that ain’t a good thing.

I'm not really sure the rural areas are any better than urban areas. Earlier in the week the news reported on a Bardstown family doctor who is living in a trailer in his yard to keep from infecting his family. They asked how many cases he was in contact with and he estimated 12 per day. If you can't test, you can't tell.

 

[GYERater]

The whole reason we are locked up and all these beds have been added at places like Nutter and the Fair Grounds is because even with social distancing these models were showing that the healthcare system in KY would be overwhelmed but guess what? THEY WERE ******* WRONG

At this point there is no reason for a business to be closed if they can put the proper protocols in place. Some people seem to have lost sight of the fact that this isnt just about corona, there is a huge multi-billion dollar economy that also needs to function.

What you may see on National TV or read in newspapers may not be truth The beaches open down here are not a health threat. There are restrictions if you go to the beach and the reality is few Floridians go to public beaches. It is mostly tourist. This is what Jacksonville Beach actually looked like and it is safe. Besides the coronavirus does not thrive in sunshine or humidity. Add that to an ocean breeze and compare it to riding in a New York subway.

I cannot believe the media would lie to make tRUMlsterz look bad.

Shocked!

 

[Punkin Puss]

Has Andy talked to Pence and asked for help? Other Governors have. He sure hasn’t mentioned it. And you can bet your *** if he had and was turned down he would tell the world.

Over his head.

I just saw a Pence being interviewed by Wallace today. He tap danced around every question from the supply chain and testing to the White House advising social distancing but Trump tweets to have liberation rallies.

But it's going the be BEAUTIFUL.

From what was said on the update, there's near 350 patients in the ICU's alone, A capacity of 1300 beds before this started. With a median range ICU admission from 10-12 days (from CDC report), I assume ICU's where never intended for more that 3-4 days on average patient care.

Walgreen had started doing drive through weeks ago. What proof Kroger had the logistic ability to perform till now and a had to push the state to open them?

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/ne...tucky-drive-thru-covid-19-testing/2980268001/
From what I read the state contracted UPS and a small testing lab in northern KY to work with the sites.

Also there's been a bottleneck due to lack of testing swabs available.
But the FDA has green-lighted a new type swab.

It's more obvious the country is to dependent on such materials from China.

Um, no 265 in hospital and 149 in ICU.

KENTUCKY REPORTS HIGHEST CORONAVIRUS INFECTION INCREASE AFTER A WEEK OF PROTESTS TO REOPEN STATE
"Democratic Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced Sunday that the state had set a grim record with 273 new confirmed cases of the coronavirus, the highest single-day rise to date. Kentucky's increase in infected individuals comes after protesters took to the streets throughout the week to call for the state to be reopened."

They protested Wednesday, spread the disease around to people who were tested after the protests and all those tests had results by Sunday?

Why not just rely on real data instead of trying to spin ******** numbers?

So you know for sure the protesters caused the rise. Amazing. Got lotto numbers also?

Im sure the fact we tested more than we normally do the past week had nothing to do with it. Geez

Yep, that article was quickly debunked. Author of it was trying very hard to spin a narrative, gotta give them credit.

Hopefully they are smarter than they are on Facebook because they are constantly sharing a bunch of ******** that isn't true. You're stereotypical Boomer that seems to believe anything that's posted on the internet because it wouldn't be posted on the internet if it wasn't true!

Somebody sharing ******** that isn't true.

At least you got nameless one to repeat it.

Hey man, we aren’t in our 14 day decline yet...don’t be unreasonable - a 3 day average of 1.66 new cases is certainly not good enough to slowly open things up in the area. .0015% of the population is much too dangerous - you couldn’t possibly track and trace that.

 

[Cat_outta_Hell]

Don't know if the protesters helped spread the virus, but honestly a lot of them probably deserve to get sick.

Mayor of Lexington, why not raise taxes. Kentucky is a very low taxed state and you can make up for the $9 million by Christmas. Just do it. Raise taxes

 

[GYERater]

TN on 4/27, OH on 5/1, IN 'early May' those are our primary border states and we are supposed to coordinate openings with 2 of the 3 according to King Beshear.

Judging by the way Andy handled the church situation something tells me he us about to dig his heels in and try to keep us at home through most of May. He may end up being more hated than Bevin before this is over.

Do you have a link to a story or something debunking this? I'm not trying to be an a-hole, just want something to be able to post on another board that is roasting KY over this.

 

[GYERater]

Use logic, the protests were less than a week ago, there is a delay is getting test results (some times up to 10 days) and an incubation period for the virus before you start getting any symptoms. If the internet dummies cant figure that out they arent worth the time.

 

[JumperJack]

I just used logic, no link. Kentucky has ramped up the number of tests in the last week so naturally we were gonna see a climb in number of cases. Also, it’s about an average of 4 days between exposure and symptoms and takes about 2-3 days for test results to get back. That article was written 3 days after the protests. No time at all for the protestors to experience symptoms, get tested and get results.

If this article had come out maybe 2 weeks after the protest it would have some merit.

23 of last 25 Ky deaths are from nursing homes. Almost 50% of new cases were from correctional facilities and nursing homes today.

263 currently in hospital - KY has a bed capacity of 6,210 (not including nutter or fairgrounds)

263 total Covid patients right now currently in a hospital in the state? Nutter facility seems useless.

He basically admitted as such in the last few days. Said it’s more likely if it’s used, it will be due to a massive nursing home outbreak.

 

[bigsmoothie]

263 total Covid patients right now currently in a hospital in the state? Nutter facility seems useless.

But when it was set up no one knew what the need would be. It’s called being prepared

It should also be a sign that things arent as bad as the models predicted so there is no reason to keep the economy closed into May.

That’s a different discussion. I was talking about the nutter field house. I would probably open some things may 1. More may 15. Nearly all may by may 31. Still distancing. No visitors to nursing homes for a while. School in august.

Bevin is the goat of hate

I don’t think that’s a limb you want to go out with Beshear on this early in the game (his words).....Bevin may be a total ******* but he’s not the one that’s going to be standing there with the proverbial bag in his hand when this is done.

If Beshear digs in and suicides our economy a month (longer?) beyond our neighbors he’ll be the de facto public enemy number one the likes of which we haven’t seen around here.

147 currently in the ICU in a state of 4M shake my f******* head [eyeroll]
