These dashboards provide a snapshot of COVID-19 cases at these institutions, but don’t show the whole picture.
Full data on many community and technical colleges isn’t available, for example. The Kentucky Community & Technical College System (KCTCS) comprising 16 colleges such as ECTC and HCC started posting COVID-19 case counts twice a week in September 2020 but does not keep cumulative totals. Mary Hemlepp, director of communication strategy at KCTCS, says the organization does not track total case numbers because they “have not had many cases reported.”
Case counts in the counties in which these colleges reside have been higher than those on campus. Warren County has had 15,694 total reported cases as of April 26, according to data from USA Facts, whereas WKU has only had 1,292. Calloway County has had 3,469 cases, according to their health department, to MSU’s 563.
What to know about the distribution pause of Johnson & Johnson vaccine
Staff report
The CDC and FDA halted the distribution of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday, April 13, in order to review six reported cases of a rare and severe side effect that has resulted in at least one death.
More than 6.8 million doses of the vaccine have been administered in the United States, according to the CDC. That makes the possibility of suffering from the rare side effect, a blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, less than one in one million.
Six women between the ages of 18 and 48 developed symptoms six to 13 days after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to the CDC.
