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....
Get your head out of the sand.
