How did they get this information? Aren’t students’ medical records private? Did the students volunteer this information (seems unlikely)?
“How did they get this information? Aren’t students’ medical records private?”
Probably the local health department. Certain infectious diseases are mandated to be reported.
When my son got salmonella, I got a phone call from the Dept of Health asking about whether or not others in our family got it, where he went to school, etc.
Are they mad that their policies are helping up the numbers?
They keep track of everything now. Nothing is ever private with these lunatics.
