Are there others in other schools? What is the health department and local hospitals doing about this reality? It isn't as though the community can't have a moment of rejoice, but, I find the lack of emphasis on this unsettling.
Why do so many traditional Red States suppress the mortality rates of children? This is State Cancer Profiles by the National Cancer Institute. (click here)
Confidentiality? That is an excuse. Any statistical reporting does not contain confidential material.
There should be NO suppression of any health statistic by any state. It effects the entire picture of how well the nation is doing. The suppression is political and it hides the reality of the people.
Just because there are less than 16 cases to report doesn't mean that is insignificant to the state AND local statistics. This is ridiculous. The politics suppresses THE COST of reporting and the reality that money needs to be spent in detecting and reversing any trend. This is outrageous.
The Red States are lazy and uncaring.
