Do these two paragraphs contradict themselves or is it just me and 4:00 in the morning?
After more than 120 students checked into the Health Center and St. Mary's hospital during the first week of the outbreak, another 24 students reported symptoms Monday and 21 did the same on Tuesday.
Officials at St. Mary's Hospital said no students checked in there Tuesday, claiming they had the virus, but two did Monday. Athens Regional Medical Center officials were unavailable for comment.

Good catch! The contradiction is obviously an outright lie!

--24 "reported symptoms" Monday, 21 on Tuesday
>>>Officials at St. Mary's Hospital said no students checked in there Tuesday, claiming they had the virus, but two did Monday. Athens Regional Medical Center officials were unavailable for comment.

Maybe a bit misleading, but not really a contradiction.
