Now what it does show is that we have certainly stopped the exponential growth, this third wave, and I believe that now we've not only plateaued it, but we're starting to see cases decrease. Now, they won't, or they haven't decreased as much as- <...>but it's safe to say, actually it's certain to say, that the steps we took, that temporary closure of indoor dining and bars, the restrictions on gatherings to make them ver

• Protesters outside the Capital calling to reopen the economy were loud and obnoxious. Some of this was incredibly hard to hear but we know we got the gist of it.
• Many of our fellow Kentuckians have been hit hard, many times this year. Not only are our neighbors in Leslie, Knott, Perry, Letcher county and other hard hit counties in Eastern Kentucky fighting the coronavirus but earlier today they still have 42,000 Kentuckians without electricity and water after they were hit by powerful storms. We are doing everything we can to help them out. Thank you to all of those responding to help. Over 500 KY Power personnel are working to address the outages. To all those residents that are in this difficult circumstance to include being in the middle of the pandemic: I appreciate you.
• To all those that said we took drastic steps or too early, look at that. This is proof we are winning. But we are NOT at halftime, not yet. We have to make sure we are focused and not let the desire to get out ultimately lead to the death of more Kentuckians.
• There will be 4 more sites and I will talk more on that tomorrow.

Goebel was a populist politician, and by all reports a very smart individual. Had he survived the assassination, his family history with a strong bend towards Germany (he only spoke German until he was six) would have inclined him to favor Germany in the European War that started in 1914. While it is doubtful he would have even considered bringing the USA into the war on the side of Germany, it would be very likely that he would have kept America out of that war. How does the world change?

• Question about employers not allowing employees to use PPE at work saying it’s not professional or it will scare customers away -- If you are at work that puts you in close proximity you should be, at the very least, be able to wear cloth masks. Any employer telling their employees they can’t wear these masks, you can’t be doing that.

• We’re in this together because we know what it takes to defeat this virus. I know now that we are over a month in, and we can feel a little anxiousness but remember this is the challenge of our generation. Remember the greatest generation wasn’t just at home, my grandfather was with Patton’s Army in Europe separated from my grandmother. They were having difficulty and were not able to be a family unit for years. We can do this, and in a way to protect people. And we always focus on saving lives and you are doing an incredible job.
• We’re in this together, and I’m not the only one who says it.
• Think about what’s happened. We are up against something we haven’t known before.

• Patsy Carol Smith; 76 years old. Passed away on Monday. She was an active senior who enjoyed yard work, gardening, and making crafts. She had self quarantined, because like many her age she had some at-risk factors, but despite her isolation she started experiencing flu-like symptoms. She was admitted to the hospital on April 4th, on April 6th she tested positive for COVID-19. On Monday and Tuesday of that week Patsy FaceTime’d with her family and seemed to be recovering but her situation declined and by Friday she was in ICU on a ventilator. Patsy rallied and was able to come off the ventilator a week later but too much damage had been done and she passed away about 2 days later. Patsy was the mother to 3 sons, she was Mamaw to grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She has a sister and brothers along with many friends that will miss her and we will mourn their loss as well. Let’s make sure we are thinking about Patsy. When we lose someone, it’s not just a number but an individual that will be missed.

And we are displaying the very best in us. Being healthy at home, doesn't mean you can’t get out.

(We have only tested about 24,000 total, this will double the amount tested in our state) They will provide medical staff, PPE, and a signup medical portal to get those tests done for us. The state is contracting with UPS and Gravity Diagnosis to provide a 48 hour turn around. That’s important because 10 days doesn’t really help. We will start with one location in Frankfort tomorrow, another this week and another next week. Those who qualify will be based on the CDC tier one and tier two guidelines.

• Question on the Attorney General being concerned about us announcing yesterday's order requiring those in mass gatherings to self quarantine. -- “...I’m just doing my best to save lives. Knowing 6 deaths from one Kentucky revival, what that can do! We know there are 7 planning to meet, that would be 42 deaths if the same thing happened… If I could save 42 people, I would give up being politically popular (which I’ve only been for about 3 weeks) in a nanosecond to save those lives…” (more in Questions)

• We will get through this, and we will get through this together. Say it with me like we do everyday: We will get through this, we will get through this together. One more time: We will get through this, we will get through this together. (Andy signs the message the second time)
• We are going to get through this because we are willing to do what it takes. If you look at the other states, if you look at other countries you see devastating loss, here in Kentucky we have already lost too much but we are sacrificing every da

We need to make sure we do everything it takes to defeat this. I’m proud to be your governor. We know it can take a serious toll on our people.

So hearing those bells, reminds people we are together in this and we are thinking of you. Showing green lights lit for the Kentuckian we lost in
