School superintendent offers a theory

If COVID-19 cases are spiking across the country, why have case numbers within Oconee public schools dropped off?  Here’s a theory from Dr. Thorsland, district superintendent, in response to a question today from 101.7/WGOG NEWS.  Thorsland said, “I’m not a medical expert, but we had such a spike in cases in August/September, it might have given our area of the country more immunity.  I’ve heard it is still the delta variant that is spiking in the U-S.  We dealt with that in the fall.”
