Gov. Beshear: Record COVID-19 Deaths for Second Day in a Row
It's getting worse every day Malaise, to the point where I've afraid to even go pick up supplies. It was comforting to know yesterday when my son returned with our groceries and said everyone was wearing a mask.
Joe and Kamala are giving us the strength we need.......

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Dec. 2, 2020) – Today, Gov. Andy Beshear announced record new COVID-19 deaths and the sixth-highest day for new COVID-19 cases. With the 37 deaths reported Wednesday, the Governor has reported the loss of 72 Kentuckians in the last two days alone as the commonwealth rapidly approaches 2,000 deaths.
The White House Report for Kentucky said, “The COVID risk to all Americans is at a historic high. We are in a very dangerous place due to the current, extremely high COVID baseline and limited hospital capacity; a further post-Thanksgiving surge will compromise COVID patient care, as well as medical care overall.
“New orders put in place by the Governor should result in a rapid decrease in transmission if compliance is high.”
“We’ve got the foremost experts in the country saying we’ve got a winning game plan,” said Gov. Beshear. “The question is, is everybody going to do their part to execute that game plan? We can stop this surge. It’s in our hands. I certainly am going to try my best each and every day.”
On Wednesday, Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, updated Kentuckians on projections for hospitalizations in December and January, which vary depending on statewide compliance with recent COVID-19 restrictions.
“Even when researchers at the University of Louisville analyze and look at the data and do their own modeling, they are finding, like others are in other places, that these measures are likely to reduce substantially the number of people in hospitals,” said Dr. Stack. “And remember, some of those people go into the ICU, some of those people are on ventilators – those can have long-term debilitating effects – and of course, some of them die. Every time we choose to disregard the guidance, we will see more people get infected, more strain on our hospitals and more loss.”
Case Information
As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
New cases today: 3,601
New deaths today: 37
Positivity rate: 9.62%
Total deaths: 1,980
Currently hospitalized: 1,768
Currently in ICU: 427
Currently on ventilator: 234
