Hantavirus Update: WHO says the suspected cruise-ship hantavirus cluster is “not the start of a COVID pandemic,” with the case count adjusted to 10 after a U.S. test came back negative; in Georgia and Nebraska, 41 people are still being monitored. State Politics: Gov. Brian Kemp has called a June 17 special session to redraw Georgia’s district maps for the 2028 election, and Democrats are already accusing him of diluting Black voting power. Schools Watch: New enrollment snapshots keep rolling in across metro and statewide campuses—like Dublin High (506 Black students), Austell Elementary (47% Black), and West Jackson Elementary (white enrollment down 27%)—while Georgia continues to tackle chronic absenteeism (20.7% of students missing 10%+ of days in 2024). Local Spotlight: A landscaper injured on GOP gubernatorial contender Rick Jackson’s property is fighting for benefits, turning immigration enforcement rhetoric into a court fight.
