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.

      You just refuse to listen to reason.

      You are the equivalent of someone so terrified of HIV that they decide that they are going to refuse to be afraid by fucking everyone they can raw dog, while proclaiming “live in fear you losers!”… until you reap the consequences of your idiocy.

      Only difference is that this isn’t HIV, and the mutation you create is going to kill everyone.
