It s a good thing the school year is almost over: The latest report from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment lists 58 new COVID-19 outbreaks at K-12 schools, the most in a single week since the department began releasing weekly outbreak lists over a year ago.
Of the 859 outbreaks currently under active investigation by the CDPHE, K-12 schools account for 251, or just over 29 percent of the total. That appears to be a record, too.
The CDPHE considers an entity an outbreak after two or more COVID-19 cases among residents, staffers or other people connected to a specific location are confirmed within a fourteen-day period, or two or more cases of respiratory illness with an onset of symptoms within a fourteen-day period are paired with at least one additional COVID-19 diagnosis. The vast majority of businesses and facilities identified as outbreaks remain open while working with the department to monitor symptoms and prevent future infections.
Sandra describes Dylan as dyslexic, but he had a heart of gold and had a certain way of doing things. He loved music, he wrote poetry and songs, and he was a genius at numbers. He was not a mean person, he was not a vengeful or dangerous person. He cared for others, sometimes over his own safety.
The circumstances that led to his death are both heart-wrenching and all too typical. According to Sandra, his upbringing was chaotic. Because his parents split up, as did Sandra and her husband, his home situation was constantly in flux even after he moved to Colorado from the East Coast several years ago. One example: Sandra says Dylan lost it after one particularly vivid domestic incident and was promptly arrested. He was fourteen at the time.
