Kentucky Governor says he doesn’t plan to issue mandate on gatherings around Christmas

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Governor Beshear reported that 88 percent of our region’s ICU beds are full. 

13 News sat down with the governor Friday morning to discuss the state’s response to COVID. On Thursday, Beshear said that Kentuckians would need to celebrate Christmas ‘safely.’ For him, he said this looks like not gathering. 

However, he added he doesn’t plan to issue an executive order or mandate about gathering similar to what he issued around Thanksgiving, but rather a “strong recommendation.”

      The state legislature is making some noise about reining him in. But I really doubt they will do anything other than a few token, feelzgood measures.

    Andy Beshear-Klingner. Kentucky's favorite hand-rubbing parasite.

    The US in microcosm. Gov. Bevin did a great job but was so un-likeable that Pope Andy got elected by a slim margin. I call him Pope because he thinks he is infallible.

    Folks east of the Daniel Boone would likely have told him to go pound sand anyway.

    Folks on the west side are much too like the folks from the nasty states that border it to the north.

    88%Occupancy..OMG shut down the state!
    From a 2017 article:
    So, what is the best occupancy rate?
    The answer is… it depends. I like having a midnight census of about 85% on Monday through Wednesday. That 15% buffer allows us to overlap that day’s admissions with that day’s discharges in the afternoons and also give us rooms to put the new admission in while we are cleaning the recently vacated rooms. Thursdays and Fridays, I like a midnight census of 80%. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 75% is acceptable because our surgical floors are starting to empty out and we reduce scheduled nursing staff accordingly.

    So 88% is perhaps a little above normal..but it's not a crisis.
