Summary
COVID-19 cases are creeping back up across 48 states, but Kansas is showing a surprisingly calm picture — with emergency room visits for the virus at less than 0.1% of all visits. Though the CDC flags it as “likely growing,” especially around Topeka, Wichita, and northeast Kansas, the state doesn’t report every case because COVID isn’t a mandatory reportable illness there. Instead, they rely on ER data — which remains low — and recent wastewater tests confirm the virus is still barely detectable in sewage systems. It’s a mixed bag, but for now, the numbers suggest manageable risk. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
