I'm just taking this out for the moment, anyone can feel free to reinsert. But it's just getting a little out-of-hand to keep updated. Everyone wants to use maps and it makes it a fishing game of 20 minutes to find what counties have changed in the past 24 hours. GMG ^talk 11:22, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shopping restrictions

Was there a limitation on the number of people in each store? Costco's web site says that in KY and PR only one person is allowed in per membership card, but two for all other states. -- Beland (talk) 02:56, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think Costco is following each state’s guidelines. Other stores in Louisville are 1 person per family unless you have small children and no one to watch them or are helping a handicapped or elderly person shop. Kaelin9003 (talk) 20:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

influences on art

With art and literature emerging specific to the pandemic experience in Ky, should we add an "in popular culture" on influences on art page? What would be the best way to go about this, thanks? I'm thinking books like Tell Me What You See, how the pandemic changed Kentucky Governor's School for the Arts alumni granting program, etc. Kentuckian in NY (talk) 17:14, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
