there appear to be clusters related to the Shell cracker plant construction workforce and outbreaks at more local nursing homes and assisted living residences and at least one local small manufacturer. There are cases among teachers/staff, but not many among students.

Why there's not more emphasis on how to achieve better ventilation indoors by adjusting HVAC systems or installing HEPA/MERV air filters is something I don't really understand. My county isn't exactly a hotbed of liberalism where mask-wearing, etc, might be more readily accepted, but I've seen the vast, vast majority of people complying with mitigation efforts anyway.
