Attendance in the Lee County School District dropped to 81% just nine days after the first day of school.
Less than two weeks into the school year, a Kentucky school district has canceled in-person classes for the rest of the week after nearly a fifth of its students came down with Covid, strep throat, the flu and other illnesses.
The Lee County School District, which has just under 900 students, began classes Aug. 9 but noticed attendance drop to about 82% on Friday, Superintendent Earl Ray Schuler said.
By Monday, the rate dipped to 81%, and 14 staff members called in sick, Schuler said.
FTFY.
Sidenote: We are seeing an emergence of more virulent strains of Covid, a virus that shut the world down because of its extremely virulent nature. The rest are just as infectious as they ever were.
New covid, spreading through a population where the most vulnerable have already been culled. Increasingly severe long covid effects, lower ICU risk, and much, much more infectious. That is until the strains that are more severe occur, because we all know, the more infectious the virus, the more mutations emerge.
Covid won’t shut things down, that only happened because we didn’t have a defense against it and how bad it would be. Turns out it wasn’t that bad except for select groups of people too stupid to get vaccinated.
What planet do you live on…?
Vaccination makes you a carrier, it isn’t magical virus killer juice.
Covid is virulent enough that at endemic capacity, it will mutate too wildly to keep up with vaccination.
We shut down to stop it from being endemic, but idiots couldn’t be bothered to mask up and social distance, so it went endemic.
Mark my words, wave 3 is coming for everyone.
Edit: I need to say I got the vaccinations.
They reduce fatality.
What I’m not jazzed about is endless boosters because of dipshits.
It will not play any impact on normal day to day life.
Tell that to all the people who died. Oh wait…
Died when? 2020? Those who have died of covid today already are high risk. Are you suggesting that billions of people should stop living their lives to give a few hundred people a higher chance of not contracting an illness?
It’s not a few hundred people you smooth brain. Millions of people around the world died from it, and millions are still suffering effects of Long Covid. They aren’t all high risk.
Your lack of education is showing.
Worldwide in August 2023 you are looking at … 50 total deaths due to covid. Down from 4400 deaths in January 2023. Average is a few hundred.

You have already been told multiple times.
REPORTED deaths.
Most of the reporting systems were (prematurely) terminated because of ding dongs like you.
Get your head out of the sand.
It’s not 2020, we know who is at risk and who isn’t.
It’s 2023, we don’t know what or how many mutations are going to occur over the next year, but we know we have made ourselves the perfect petei dishes to maximize the process.
