Andy Beshear has done a good job of communicating and acting defensively

against CoVid in the state of Kentucky.

He speaks reasonably to his citizens, and results have been better than they could have been without his common-sense approach.
Most of KY's state officials are Republican at present, but the former governor, a Republican, was so abrasive that Andy Beshear won when not many Dems did.
(I live across the river in Ohio, but KY doings are highly reported on in the area, so we can't help noticing.)

Can you imagine this guy Abbott testing daily and getting Regeneron

treatment with no symptoms?

Hypocrisy, thy name is Greg Abbott!!

Thanks for sharing. I know you are correct

He has been to ER on two separate occasions, a day or so apart.
He told his sister he had diarrhea, but I know it would have to be pretty bad to have to drive oneself to hospital with such a condition going on.

I'll copy his email to me from this morning, so all those interested can see.

I deeply appreciate the concern shown here on DU.
I'm reluctant to share his situation on public social media, inasmuch as it's his private medical issue and could make him look publicly foolish for his reluctance when this is behind him & he wishes to apply for work, etc.

Hope your cousin and family continue to make progress. I have another son, lives in FL, also unvaccinated. You can imagine the concern.

My late night call to ER told me that he is not there, nor has son been

admitted to the hospital , so I'm presuming he somehow got back home and likely crawled into bed.
All of which would mean the ER doctors felt he was not so seriously ill that he needed hospital care, etc.

I'll give him a rest overnight and see what I can find out Tuesday.

I so deeply appreciate the caring, the prayers, and good wishes (and advice) of these DUers who reached out.
Your support was/is so comforting when under ongoing stress.

I'll send up thankful prayers for all of you tonight, for your own needs as well.

Love you all.

I can smile at that one.

Shouldn't lose perspective entirely.

I don't know enough to respond correctly, but

I believe the nurse told me he would have to be admitted for Remdesavir and other treatments.
Good news and bad news: It he doesn't need admittance that means he's not critically ill, but can't get more advanced meds.

SW Ohio.

Sick as he was, he had to drive himself to the nearest ER.
His job evaporated during pandemic - little to no insurance, though he has some funds and a house.
Single, no kids.

Thanks for your prayerful intercession.
