Teacher has more than 700 entries on a spreadsheet tracking COVID-19 in schools.....

A high school teacher in Kansas started a spreadsheet of COVID-19 cases in schools as a way to ease her anxiety about the upcoming school year.

Less than two weeks later, the teacher, Alisha Morris, of Olathe, Kansas, has more than 700 entries and counting in her spreadsheet, which has now gone viral and become a go-to resource for other teachers.

She hopes its not just teachers who are looking at the data she continues to compile, but also the district officials and school board members who are deciding whether teachers and students return to classrooms.

"I do hope that teachers are able to take this information to their district and school board members to help them make informed decisions," said Morris.

(from what I'm reading, no actual positive school cases are being reported to the CDC; hope I'm wrong)

I heard the same thing about not reporting cases in schools, I thought it was only Georgia though!

I am not usually a conspiracy nut, but I am inclined to believe, that the number of cases in general are being distorted. Unless I have totally misunderstood the information, The CDC is no longer getting the information on cases from labs, the President changed that, it is now going to the Government Health and Human Services agency. I am afraid it was done to control information to the public. I may have the name of the Government agency wrong, but I think that is it. The following are two articles about it.
