The Kentucky Hospital Association has posted on its website a coronavirus dashboard that emphasizes hospitalizations for covid-19 and puts them in context, with the number of available beds, including beds in intensive-care units. The dashboard's figures show that 80 percent of ICU beds are occupied, 11 percent of them by patients suffering from covid-19. Overall, 65 percent of hospital beds are occupied, but Beshear said recently that there have been some local shortages.
Republican state Rep. Kim Moser of Taylor Mill, chair of the House Health and Welfare Committee, said on Facebook that she worked with KHA "to provide accurate information as we reopen and adjust our activities accordingly. The KHA has worked hard to standardize reporting among hospitals statewide to ensure consistency and accuracy."
