Folks, please take #COVIDー19 seriously. This is not a drill. A lot of people will get hurt if enough of us don’t wear masks, socially distance, and sanitize our hands. —>

Or maybe Texas is more your style. Image
Or perhaps Florida. Image
Or Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. Image
Or Arizona. Image
Or Georgia. Image
Or, wear a simple mask, leave 6 feet between people, and wash your hands so #TeamKentucky stays like this. Image
And, remember this. Even if others choose poorly, you and yours can still choose wisely to lower your own risk of catching #COVIDー19. Stay #HealthyAtHome as much as possible and follow #HealthyatWork whenever you go out. Inspire others by your own example.

Yesterday, Kentucky completed its highest week ever for new #COVID19 cases.

The most recent weeks are concerning for the beginning of exponential growth.

I’ll share some stats and more reflective thoughts in this thread.

1/9
Kentucky’s incidence rate map (#COVID19 cases/100k persons) is very ‘hot.’

5 counties are around 50 cases/100k, double the level necessary to be red.

Sadly, people disregarding social distancing and mask use appears to be contributing to the problem.

2/x
Other democracies have done much better than USA.

New #COVID19 cases per million people (visual estimate of y-axis):

USA: 22k
Canada: 4.2k
Germany: 3.9k
New Zealand: 0.2k

It’s not the disease, it’s our choices as Americans.

#COVID19 is like a casino. If you play long enough, when your luck runs out, the house always wins.

Folks, the USA and Kentucky are in for a world of hurt this autumn if we don’t pull ourselves together real fast.

1/10
The President of the United States has:
-the most powerful political office,
-the most secure house, helicopter, plane, etc., and
-some of the smartest scientists...

In the entire world.

The President of the United States is hospitalized with #COVID19.

2/10
The President of the United States and
-His wife,
-Many of his closest advisors,
-Multiple members of Congress, and
-Others...

Have all contracted #COVID19.

We are witnessing a #COVID19 cluster and possible super-spreading event unfold among our senior federal officials.

I was asked yesterday at the press conference about hydroxychloroquine & chloroquine as treatments for #COVID19 At this time, medical research has not shown these medications to be meaningfully helpful for this disease. Here’s a short thread with just a handful of articles. /1
May 11: “...treatment with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, or both, compared with neither treatment, was not significantly associated with differences in in-hospital mortality.” ja.ma/2X4JEKO @JAMANetwork /2
June 18: “..our findings do not support the use of hydroxychloroquine at present, outside randomized clinical trials testing its efficacy.” nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… @NEJM /3

#TeamKentucky, here’s a review our #COVID19 pandemic journey from March until now.

To begin:
1)Socially Distance
2)Wear a Mask 😷
3)Clean your Hands
4)Stay Home if Sick & Get Tested

Why? Keep reading. /1
In March, NYC showed us how rapidly and dangerously #COVID19 spreads. Hospitals were overrun. As of July 7, >71,000 New Yorkers have died from COVID19 in <6 months. Kentucky flattened this first potential curve through #HealthyatHome. Graphic 91-divoc.com /2
.@UKGattonCollege demonstrated in April how #HealthyatHome kept Kentuckians safer by flattening the curve. /3

It’s straightforward - Wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands, & get tested if sick. It shouldn’t require mandates. Let’s take a look again at what happens when folks choose poorly. /1 Image
A little more detail on TX. /2 Image
When it gets real bad, the hospitals fill up, run out of space, and can run out of resources to maximally treat everyone who needs care. Let’s pray this doesn’t happen in Arizona (or anywhere else) /3 Image

I was asked if KY breaks down #COVID19 PCR vs. serology studies. Yes. For those interested in the data, govstatus.egov.com/kycovid19 presents top line data updated daily. Through that website, you can access a Desktop Dashboard that also enables you to explore county-specific data. Image
We present and break down various data on the website. Lab Confirmed positive requires a PCR + test result. Serology + tests and clinical diagnosis of #COVID19 via other means are reported as Probable positive. Image
CDC has case definitions that determine the criteria for assigning patients to various categories such as Lab Confirmed or Probable. You can view an example of a CDC #COVID19 case definition here: wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/conditio…
