In a span of just 24 hours, 23 babies were born Wednesday at The Medical Center at Bowling Green â a total that shatters the hospitalâs all-time daily record since its inception in 1926.
The Medical Center nursing manager Kim Dethridge said the record almost doubles its average of 12 babies per day.
However, the total wasnât a surprise as the hospital was prepared for the first wave of âpandemic babiesâ to arrive after the first coronavirus quarantines were implemented nine months ago in March.
âThis is the first wave of quarantine babies,â Dethridge said. âWe all have been talking about this and gearing up for this. We always count out nine months from any kind of snow day or from Valentineâs Day to prepare for high numbers like this. With my experience, you can usually predict the days or weeks when we will see higher numbers.
Proclaiming the âbeginning of the end of COVID-19,â Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday announced the arrival of the first vaccines proven effective against the disease even as the country passed a grim milestone â reaching a total of 300,000 lives lost.
âToday is the most exciting day that Iâve had, I think that we as a commonwealth have had, since March 6, when we had our first diagnosed COVID case,â Beshear said. âToday marks the beginning of the end of COVID-19. We are going to defeat this virus in 2021. This is a moment that we have hoped for and prayed for. The effectiveness of this Pfizer vaccine and the Moderna vaccine thatâs going to follow is nothing short of a modern medical miracle.â
