Kansas also extended its stay at home orders and they are getting more serious about shutting down playgrounds and tennis courts (locking them).

Although really Kansas isnt doing too bad. [HERE is a map of Kansas and all the cases](https://kdhe.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/05f4169dc6394aa98895072b94734134)and most Kansas counties have had 1 or no cases. Also in Kansas while while the rate of new cases is still steady it is not growing.

I am still peeved they dont show the number of people who have recovered.

The one odd thing is in Kansas more women have died than men.

Define “recovered”.

If I recall correctly (can’t find the site atm), “recovered” is no symptoms and two negative tests after having been positive.

Exactly. And “tests” are a thing most average Americans have not seen. That’s one reason you aren’t seeing “recovered” stats.
