We’ve got to do better, folks.
In Thursday’s edition, we reported the the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has started ranking counties by factors influencing their COVID-19 transmission risk.
The news wasn’t good for Riley County. And in fact, it wasn’t great for adjacent counties, except for Geary.
Geary County is No. 6, Riley County is 49th and Pottawatomie County is 95th in the KDHE report (Allen County is 52nd, Woodson 94th, and Neosho 96th), which considers vaccination rates and per capita cases and tests. That’s out of 105 counties in Kansas.
