NEWS FROM MY NECK OF THE WOODS: Coronavirus in Tennessee: 47 active Knox County cases, 278 total. “The Knox County Health Department reported six new cases on Saturday, bringing the total case number to 278. Knox County reported 47 active cases on Saturday, down from 55 on Friday. The total number of recovered cases moved to 226. . . . There are three patients currently hospitalized due to COVID-19. Of the 278 cases, 36 of them have resulted in hospitalization at any point during the illness.” We began our reopening on Friday, May 1, so this is about the earliest any additional cases from that might start showing up, though it’ll be about a week before we can tell what impact, if any, that’s had.
