Have we seen the worst of the pandemic? Experts are cautiously optimistic


It was a brutal three months in Northeast Tennessee: Between Nov. 1 and Jan. 31, COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths soared to record highs, infecting more than 32,000 and killing 636.
Now, local health experts are cautiously optimistic we’ve seen the worst of the pandemic — that after nearly a year of battling the virus, this is the beginning of the end.
Though the curve of new cases has fluctuated wildly from month to month over the past 11 months, this time feels different. Over the past seven weeks, the region’s seven-day average of new cases has experience a steep and rapid decline — tumbling from 456.2 on Jan. 7 to 83.6 as of Saturday, bringing Northeast Tennessee more in line with averages reported in early October.

ETSU researchers examine substance abuse during pandemic


Researchers are working to get a clearer picture of how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated Appalachia’s drug epidemic.
Dr. Kate Beatty and Michael Meit, faculty in the East Tennessee State University College of Public Health’s Center for Rural Health Research, have co-authored an article in the Journal of Appalachian Health examining how the pandemic has affected substance abuse and overdose numbers in the region.
The article, “Rural Appalachia Battling the Intersection of Two Crises: COVID-19 and Substance Use Disorders,” discusses the side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Appalachia, including increased overdose deaths.
Dr. Margaret Miller, an alumna of East Tennessee State University’s Master of Public Health program, is the lead author of the article. Dr. Rebekah Rollston, a co-author, is also an alumna of the joint degree between the ETSU College of Public Health and the Quillen College of Medicine.
