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.
It's immunity debt from those strict never-ending kentucky lockdowns, right? Or maybe they all forgot how to wash their hands?
I'm still mad that people latched onto immunity debt like it was fact at the same time we were getting a ton of information about how covid weakens your immune system.
