NEWS on COVID-19 in Nebraska: https://www.ketv.com/article/rural-nebraska-hospitals-battle-surge-in-covid-19-cases/34865678
Nebraska has the seventh highest COVID-19 positivity rate in the country, according to the latest White House Coronavirus Task Force report obtained by ABC News.
The positivity rate for the last week was 14.7%. There are 853 Nebraskans hospitalized with the virus. 27% of medical beds are open and 24% of ICU beds are available. There are more than 2,300 new, known cases in the state since Wednesday. In Nebraska, 78% of all counties have high levels of community transmission. Many of those counties are in rural areas of the state including Cheyenne County. That county has seen it's COVID-19 numbers go from under 50 Oct. 1 to 549 Thursday. The first death in Cheyenne County was Oct 14. There are now eight. "There's no letting off the gas pedal from the virus. It's still coming at us hard," said Jason Petik, the CEO of the Sidney Regional Center. The 25 bed acute care facility in Sidney has taken the brunt of the cases in the county. "We had three people in our facility with COVID-19 and within a matter of an hour it doubled," Petik said. He said the hospital expanded its ICU capacity from four to 10 beds. The toll on staff is physical and emotional. "Normally an acute care stay in critical care hospitals are really no more than four days where some of these folks have been with us for close to two weeks. And they get very attached to them. And unfortunately we have had some people pass away. And that's very difficult," Petik said. Also difficult, some patients had to be transferred to hospitals in North Platte, Scottsbluff and Fort Collins, Colorado, 90 miles away.
