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.
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…

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.
So we should just believe YOU based on nothing? Have you considered running for the Republican nomination with that logic?
Get your head out of the sand.

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.
Covid is here forever but it’s so weak now it’s nothing more than a cold for 99% of the population. You can live in fear or you can move on and follow basic hygiene against any and all viruses and bacteria.
Seriously, stop proudly proclaiming how little you know about the topic.
We understand you are still scared. That is okay. The rest of the population have moved on after the threat was removed. I’m vaccinated as well as my family and that is enough for most people.
The virus doesn’t care about your feelings.
You are willfully ignoring the simple science of the fact.
Please, PLEASE get a handle on your emotions, and do some learning.
