Hopefully (and likely) won’t be used at all.
UK's projections saying it will be needed as an overflow, plus the National Guard is building a 2000 bed facility
in Louisville on the fairgrounds.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
228 Kentuckians were hospitalized with C19 as of the 9th. Majority of KYians have been home for about 30 days now...there won’t be a need for 2400 extra beds.
In the first 40 days of testing, KY has 1693 positive cases...best use of these resources? Doubtful - but oh well

Maybe you should be in charge of UK Medical since you know more from your googling station at home than
the medical experts in the field who have real statistics, not partisan spin from MSDNC or FAUX News.
Lol - these are the statistics from the governors press conference you dweeb.
Past statistics halfwit...he also said we are nowhere near any type of peak...bottom of the 1st inning and you're calling game over.
Dweeb? [roll]
271 in hospitals as of 10th. If you believe we aren’t anywhere near a peak then you don’t understand the disease, and I guess he doesn’t either.
The average time it takes to show symptoms is 5 days - the average amount of days from symptom to death is 18 days. If we peak 45-60 days after all schools, bars, restaurants, public gatherings, non essential business have been closed, then he’s putting it in the water.
Wow...utterly clueless - turn off Limbugh, Hannity, Maddow or whatever other partisan hack "experts" you're listening to.
South Korea is reporting people who were apparently recovered are now reinfected.
This **** show has just begun.
Well none of them believe reinfected...maybe reactivated, but more than likely false positives from residual virus leftover in their system and not contagious.
The US has required multiple negative test results to release people in the past - id take a look at Carl Goldman’s story if I were you...they swabbed each nostril and his throat every day...towards the end it was possible for the throat to be negative and the nasal passages positive...He had to test negative in all 3, 3 days straight to be released. If somewhere else had only tested his throat and then tested his nose days later they would have different results.
NY/NJ have been through hell and there’s about 300 people in the Javits and Ship overflows combined right now.
WTF is the difference? They have it they were probably still spreading it.
Are you seriously trying to compare South Korea's testing to the US? Plus they had people locked down far more than the US
would ever attempt.
Tell me what percentage have been tested here in the US and Kentucky. Is it even 1 percent?
But lets open it back up so we can add 6 months or more of this ****.
You do know the difference between the bed count of New York and Kentucky, right?
Huge difference if it’s residual and not contagious.
And then the other side of this would be - if you truly believe that this virus will randomly reactivate (and be contagious) in all of the healed cases, then why even bother with a lockdown? Or if you want a lockdown, wouldn’t it be smart to be indefinite until a vaccine if this virus reactivates randomly amongst the healed?
fyi- I take it seriously and have been home for 25-30 days and will continue through April. I’ll likely head out May 1 though (and still work in a safe and spacious environment)
Kentucky has 3.2 staffed hospital beds per 1000 (population)...NY has 2.7 and NJ has 2.4.
what’s up?

Get that bs off the football field. We got an SEC championship to win.
But they're speculating - they don't know why...could have been reactivated, could have been bad test result, the experts aren't sure.
No one knows, not even scientists who have been researching this **** for decades.
One thing they do know is the longer we stay locked down, the less it will spread. If that means waiting for a vaccine then it is what it is.
The alternative is to kick the can down the road which means more exposure in hopes of herd immunity, which may or may not happen.
Everyone wants this to go away but you hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
And how many of those are in Appalachia, google boy?
Plus they are isolating COVID-19 patients from other medical facilities, in hopes that not
all medical facilities will need to accept them to keep healthcare workers safe.
Think pest tents from days gone by.

If you really think we can stay locked down for 12-18 months until we have a vaccine, you've lost your mind. The point of the lock down was to slow down people getting it as to not overwhelm the system and to give our medical facilities time to ramp up what they need. It was never about preventing everyone from getting it.
EXACTLY!!
If re-infection is inevitable then all of the social distancing measures we've taken up until this point will have been USELESS!!
Dr. Faucci and Dr. Birch have BOTH stated numerous times that the so called "re-infection" cases are most likely due to the inadequate testing of the patients post infection like you have stated.
What we have done across the nation is working to slow down the spike, but it also means the virus will be around longer. What our government has done with the mitigation measures has drawn out the number of cases over a broader range of time so as not to overwhelm our healthcare system and buy time to create enough tests to identify everyone that actually has the disease. Also, it buys time to find treatments and a vaccine.
After that, hopefully an antibody test will tell us how many of those without symptoms have had it. I am PRAYING that enough people have already had it so herd immunity will kick in quicker than originally thought.
Coach Stoops says all of #BBN is "on the team"!!
Well certainly a lot of coaches on message boards.
WTF did I say 12 to 18 months or any date for that matter? That said, May 1st is an effing pipe dream for back to normal.
There is no back to normal for a long damn time, there's opening things up based on facts, not feelings, so we don't watch a MFing rerun next year.
12-18 months is the optimistic time period of vaccine.
I understand that timeline and it may be even longer before it's available for mass distribution, but I'm hoping with damn
near every scientist on the planet working on it, it somehow comes sooner.
I wasn't referring to the vaccine timeline, I was responding on a 12-18 month lock down timeline that was attributed to me
that I never said.
Seems like I heard from a lot of guys like you that this wouldn't spread in the US, our healthcare system was prepared, we wouldn't lead the world in cases and deaths, etc., etc.
How about we do this the cautious (smart) way now?
He never posted anything like that, nor was it or is it his position, but it's much better that than than you (general, and your governor) incompetent people... the blind leading the blind.
Ok - why not 10000 beds? How bout they bolt people in their homes?
like I said, I’ve been home and take this very seriously. But there’s also numbers you can look at, trends, other states and you can make educated decisions. Let’s not act like a peak is coming In May when people started staying home in mid March.
As I said earlier, it’s taken us 40+ days now to get to 1800 positive cases. Let’s be very liberal with our hospitalization rate and say 20% will be hospitalized. We will need another 10,000 positive test results to add another 2k hospitalizations...we have run just over 25k tests, at the current positive rate we are hitting (while only testing the sickest) we would need to run another 150,000 tests to get those 10k results...and we won’t, bc they aren’t out there.
so yeah sure, better be safe than sorry...but it’s not unreasonable to question this. Sorry it made ya upset
I didn't say him, dummy, I said people like him. And I'll pass that sentiment on to you, as people like you are the reason we're in this shape. Time to let the smart people take over.
You have the right to kill yourself, you don't have the right to endanger me with your backwards, tribalistic attitudes.
I said you (general), meaning people who are scared running around with their heads cut off, using images like this to be provocative.
You have the right to blindly walk off a cliff, but you don't have the right to blindfold everyone else with you your backwards, can't understand the data for yourself or capable of thinking for yourself tirbalistic attitudes.
Yeah, why not 4,000,000,000,000 beds? Why not duct tape people to their beds, right?!? Cuz it's all or nothing, not cautiousness, basic preparedness, and learning from mistakes or anything...
And I'm not upset with you.
GOod, don't be upset with me either, as I'm not that serious here either or being tribalistic.
I'm saying his position is data driven and based in reason, your's (and OP) is based in fear and minimal understanding.
