View Full Version : Covid-19 in OKC (coronavirus)
OKCretro 09-03-2020, 09:34 PM But, since you spoke up, I will point out that you are absolutely wrong about about people under 30 not having complications. You clearly didn't read the report about the football players developing heart problems. Those are some of the best conditioned athletes on earth.
I don't know why you insist on continuing to parrot disinformation on this forum.
you mean this one? where the doctor had to clarify his comments?

Bunty 09-03-2020, 10:00 PM So less than 25%, and quite a bit of those are in OKC near downtown.
OCCC is also about 85% online. Not sure about OSU-OKC.
Point being, the vast majority of people on most university campuses (not community colleges, since most don't have residence halls) are not dying, or really getting hospitalized (those under 30 or in good shape are at a minor risk of major complications.
Right. As a reflection of how true that is, Stillwater hospital only has 4 COVID patients.
BG918 09-03-2020, 10:35 PM Cleveland and Payne counties saw high case numbers today just below Oklahoma and Tulsa counties:
Tulsa - 13742 (+185)
Oklahoma - 13791 (+102)
Cleveland - 4105 (+86)
Payne - 1319 (+80)
Tulsa County likely has the most college students outside Cleveland and Payne counties. Between TU, ORU, OU-Tulsa, OSU-Tulsa, OSUHSC and NSU-Broken Arrow that is nearly 20k students not even counting TCC.
So less than 25%, and quite a bit of those are in OKC near downtown.
No. 6,500 graduate students in Norman. And 13,000 employees.
This argument is ridiculous. It started out by saying that the vast majority at college are 18-22 and that has been proven not be to be true.
Now, we'll move on to yet another false deflection by the same handful of people that have been doing it for months while 190,000 people have died.
OKCretro 09-04-2020, 09:08 AM The almighty one listed 7 states, Oklahoma was not one of them.

https://educationdata.org/college-enrollment-statistics/ - in response to the bold (for students). And again, a lot of colleges are having employees work from home, so nowhere near that 13,000 are on campus at any one time.
What is your solution to college, just shut down until a vaccine? Go fully online, which doesn't benefit everyone (for a MULTITUDE of reasons). Most (more than 50%) of the people at the OU campus are under 30, and have a low to minuscule risk with Covid.
Of course #s will spike due to college. But are hospitalizations in college towns spiking? That is something I would like to see.
^
For the 1,000th time, it's not just the risk to the people who get the virus, it's the spread that comes from that.
The people on campus don't stay on campus. They go home to OKC and other communities; many leave Norman every day. There will be a mass exodus over Labor Day weekend, Fall Break and the holidays and beyond.
You can see cases and deaths in Oklahoma have risen in just the last 2-3 weeks since schools have reopened.
I'm not advocating for all virtual learning or anything else. Just refuting this complete nonsense that having thousands of people together at college or any other school isn't going to increase the spread of this deadly disease and that it doesn't matter if young people are infected.
And really, really tired of those who go to great lengths to try and minimize the fact we are still in the middle of an absolute catastrophe. No matter how many times they are proven wrong with the ridiculous "it's getting better" and "it will run its course" and "we should let everyone get it" rhetoric, there is always a new, inane argument while 1,000 people are dying every day in this country.
jerrywall 09-04-2020, 09:47 AM ^ Exactly. My son is at OSU. Assuming the campus remains open, they'll be sending all the kids home at Thanksgiving break and doing online for the finals and such. That's a lot of kids being sent home to their communities with whatever illnesses they're currently carrying. Once my kids come home we'll all be quarantining AGAIN before being out among people, since my wife and I will be exposed. However, I have some pretty serious underlying conditions that put me at high risk, so I guess I'm just going with hope and prayers that I don't get sick.

I see your point. I never said that spread would stop on campuses. Or if I did, that was never my intent, and my wording was bad. I just think there is no good solution to this, other than a full lockdown of college areas, and that isn't happening. So yes, college will lead to spikes. But what solutions are there? College students are going to party. Which i know is what you were getting at. It goes back to the top - and to avoid getting political, I will go no further, as the board has covered it ad nauseum in other threads.
There are no easy solutions to any of this but attempts to minimize the severity of this situation infuriate me.
Six months in, we still have 1,000 people a day dying in the U.S., which is largely because people aren't taking things seriously or spending all their time trying argue to this away.
We should have dealt with this a long time ago and be well on the road to brighter days, yet we are mired in this mess that at best has leveled off at completely unacceptable levels. And I fully expect things to start trending up again.
I am a positive person but beyond the health consequences, we are facing economic armageddon. It has just been temporarily delayed and people are getting distracted by the stock markets while virtually every small and medium sized business is teetering on the edge of collapse.
Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.
1,013 new cases today.
7-day rolling average is now 826 cases/day, the highest it's been in a month and an increase of almost 200 in just a week.
11 more reported deaths.
oklip955 09-04-2020, 01:02 PM Not all college students are young. Lots of older folks going back to school to learn something new. I am 61 yo and retired. I am working on a theology degree. Its an off campus program through a university in Kansas. We went to Zoom in the spring and now everyone just wants to stay on Zoom. Good thing. Point I am making is even with the larger schools and to an extend the smaller colleges and universities, get older people as students who want to advance their education either to take a better position or just for the fun of learning something new. Are we just part of the herd immunity even if we are in our 50s, 60's or beyond, or are we just collateral damage?
Bill Robertson 09-04-2020, 02:04 PM This is on a report from OSDH today.
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, we will begin a transition in our data collection and reporting system that includes combining “confirmed” and “probable” cases. This will advance OSDH’s mission to deliver public data that best represents the current, active presence of COVID-19 in Oklahoma.
It says nothing about back data but a memo posted on Oklahoma Source warning county commissioners to be ready for lots of questions states that the data “may” go back to March. Next week could be interesting. The memo also says that the method of determining positivity is changing. Doesn’t matter to me since I pay no attention to positivity but I know a lot of people do.

With all the people that have had the covid they should have good plasma that can be used on high risk folks. Are they doing any programs like that? If not, why not? They should have enough good plasma donors to treat millions of high risk folks I would think.

If not, why not? They should have enough good plasma donors to treat millions of high risk folks I would think.Yes. The OBI has been collecting convalescent plasma for some time. I’ve posted on here a few times that I donated until I started testing negative again.
OU reported 61 positive cases for Wednesday (they always lag a couple of days), more than double any previous day.
196 positive cases from 8/10 through Wed.
With all the people that have had the covid they should have good plasma that can be used on high risk folks. Are they doing any programs like that? If not, why not? They should have enough good plasma donors to treat millions of high risk folks I would think.
But if they're unwilling to simply wear a mask or avoid large gatherings, what makes you think they're going to line up and donate plasma?
d-usa 09-04-2020, 05:52 PM The vast majority of cases won’t be in a hospital setting to enable the administration of blood plasma treatment. Plenty of people will be sick enough for long term side effects, but unable to receive the treatment.
And people won’t even wear masks, but we will have a huge supply of people in a “stick needles in them and take their fluids and sell it at a profit” situation?
pw405 09-04-2020, 07:22 PM Averages
The 7-day new case average is clearly sustaining an upward trend from the recent narrow band it hand been in. 7-day average deaths remain elevated, but off recent record highs:
https://i.imgur.com/GBA59hq.png
Comparing only new 7/14/21 day case averages, we clearly see the shortest average breaking out from the recent consolidation indicating rate of spread has likely increased:
https://i.imgur.com/q8CP7LP.png
Summary
Hopefully the rest of September slows down a bit, but the current total month projections are really bad - but likely distorted to the upside due to September 1st and 2nd being Tues & Wed, the days of the week where the highest death counts tend to be reported:
https://i.imgur.com/djNd75d.png?1
Testing
No good way to put it - the % of positive tests in the weekly report posted one the largest one week increases ever - from 10% to 11.8%. I think this is also an all time high for % of positive tests ever. This is very bad and should not be happening at this stage in the pandemic. This high % is not a result of decreased test count either.
Has the state changed the criteria for reporting this? I know they mentioned changes in reporting were coming soon.

(I really need to type this in to a spreadsheet.)
Bill Robertson 09-04-2020, 07:51 PM pw405, I really appreciate your graphs and explanations/input. I REALLY hope that Tuesday when the data completely changes that you can make sense of the new numbers.

Bunty 09-04-2020, 09:14 PM The article failed to indicate whether this is just at the OSU-Stillwater campus or not, but COVID-19 didn't discourage too many people from going to OSU. Enrollment for the fall semester is up by 360 students. https://kfor.com/news/local/osu-enrollment-rises-despite-covid-19-pandemic/
Bunty 09-04-2020, 09:26 PM Older people 65 or older are still driving the death count. By now they should know better than to put themselves in harms way. My guess is part of the problem is younger people who are positive and may not know it and are hanging around them. I don't know of anything to help the problem until rapid tests become the common way to get tested.
I hope it's way too high, but estimates place 224,000 more lives lost in the US over the next four months: https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/04/health/us-coronavirus-friday/index.html
Yes, I think if older people, especially those in poor health, refuse to take precautions, the death count could double by Jan. 1.

Plasma therapy is happening, but honestly, what makes you think this country could pull off a corn dog stand at this point? Zero planning, shrugging shoulders, complete and total disinformation coming from the highest person in government, ad hoc containment strategies drilled literally down to the community level.
Yes, plasma therapy is one of many potential solutions but we are still arguing about masks and people going to church and bars.
I mean, this is stuff that we should have knocked out by April 1.

You mean, "put themselves at risk by showing up to work?" Like, work as professors and principals and janitors etc.? Do you understand that young people can infect older people? Do you understand that a significant number of people, regardless of age, experience extensive organ damage as a result of the illness, even if it is not fatal to them.
You exhibit circular thinking, returning to the same trope about over-65 deaths being the only thing to be concerned about. I sometimes wonder if you actually read any other posts or seek new information. You have always struck me as intelligent so I don't understand it.

Even worse, OU announced that their rate as of yesterday exceeded 30%.

Great, blame the old folks.....
I am 67 and have a mild case of cancer. I probably average being off my own property for an hour or two weekly, not including walking or biking for exercise. I still fear catching the virus because my 18 year old son has to go to school daily.

Or is the problem that word still hasn't gotten out to a lot of young people what can happen from being young and coming down with COVID as in this case?

They should be the most careful.

d-usa 09-05-2020, 07:52 PM Let’s hope that the decision makers see that staying the course when you’re doing well will make you do better.
I’ve given my opinion to some of the decision makers for Deer Creek, including some of our well known issues we talk about often on here. The most meaningful, at least IMO, is that it takes 3 weeks to see the effects of anything we do (3 weeks after a big holiday to rise, 3 weeks after masks to fall) and we are just now hitting 3 weeks for many schools. So we don’t know the effect of schools yet, but we are looking at changing how we are doing school.
Another issue for me is that I think it will be harder for kids to switch back and forth if we are constantly changing between remote, mixed, or in-person. I have a second grader and she did much better this week than last week, since she (and the teacher) is getting used to the online system. If she goes back to all week school she will start from scratch if they go back to split learning in a few weeks. My wife works for Putnam City and I appreciate that they decided “this is our 9 week plan” at the beginning so everybody can plan accordingly.
A lot of talk on the Deer Creek pages is “just take your kids out and do online if you don’t like it or are at risk”. There are work places that will work with you to be able to do remote learning with your kids if schools are closed, but won’t work with you if you choose to keep your kids at home when schools are open.
rwalker 09-05-2020, 09:12 PM I’ve noticed the OnCues in Edmond are the absolute worst about enforcing the Mask Mandates. If anything they should be fairly strict given the tight quarters and heavy traffic counts, but it seems like Corporate is more interested in maintaining sales than doing its part to protect the customers and staff.
Pretty sad.

I was not referring to Oklahoma County, but OKCPS. Moore obviously doesn't give a **** about any color. Edmond is slightly better. I'm not convinced OKC Public Schools will go back in person if we are seeing the increases we are seeing right now.

Bunty 09-06-2020, 12:50 AM What the mayor of Stillwater thinks of the current local COVID situation. (The point made in the 2nd paragraph is very important.)
Local Update
As you know, our community is seeing a large spike in COVID cases. Stillwater currently has 398 active cases, more than double the peak we saw in late June. As we saw then, the large majority of these cases are in the 18-35 year old age group. So far, there has not been a corresponding surge in hospitalizations. The City is in close contact with Payne County Health and Stillwater Medical to track the situation and determine if further action is warranted.
The sharp rise in cases is very concerning, and we must work together as a community to slow the spread. So far, contact tracing shows that these cases cannot be connected to any one activity, event, or type of business. The cases are also not just in college students. Many of the positive cases are among younger adults who are very socially active and are taking few of the recommended precautions against the spread of disease.
It’s disappointing that so many of our neighbors refuse to take the situation seriously. Yes, many of them will never be seriously ill, but such carelessness has a huge effect on our community. Public schools cannot meet together for class. Non-profits have had to cancel fundraising events. Activities across the board have been limited or shut down. These decisions are necessary because the more the disease spreads in Stillwater, the more likely it is for vulnerable people to be infected, with far more serious consequences.
Overall, individuals and businesses in our community have been doing a very good job with masks, limiting interactions, and operating safely. I am aware of the White House reports that indicate additional restrictions should be implemented statewide and in our local area. Currently, I’m not sure that it’s worthwhile for the City of Stillwater to adopt these guidelines alone, but I continue to talk with other state mayors and the Governor’s office to push for widespread action in accordance with Federal advice.
No matter what rules or regulations are in place, it is up to each one of us to make the right choices to protect ourselves and each other. Please wear your mask, wash your hands, and watch your distance. Avoid large gatherings. Get tested if you feel sick, if you’ve been in contact with a positive case, or if you’ve been out and about a lot recently. Above all, please recognize that you are part of a community, and we are all counting on you to do your part to keep the rest of us safe.

rezman 09-06-2020, 09:11 AM OnCues and 7-Elevens everywhere.
Since the Okc mandate, the OnCue by me has been doing well with mask wearing every time I’ve been in there.
402 new cases today, the lowest total in 2 weeks.

You must not go to Reno & Meridian or 240 & May
d-usa 09-06-2020, 11:40 AM Any compliance at OnCue seems to be entirely voluntary by patrons, I really haven’t seen any enforcement by staff at all.
Which really makes me sad, because at the beginning it felt like OnCue was the one store taking this thing serious and was doing a lot of good in trying to keep staff and customers safe.
jdizzle 09-06-2020, 11:49 AM The On-Cue at Sooner and 240 is requiring masks, and not serving patrons without them.

No Bill, I haven’t been down that way lately. The 3 locations I frequent the most are 178th & Western, Memorial & Western, and 164th $ Portland, in that order. The people have been very good about wearing masks at the times I have visited. I understand you get around town quite a bit so you get a better slice of the action.

I dont think they pay their employees enough to care.
But I have to give it up to Target. They are doing a great job of enforcing masks.
I think a lot if it has to do with clientele. Let me put it this way. I would expect to see a lot more people complaining about a mask mandate at your local Walmart than a Target.
Bill Robertson 09-06-2020, 02:10 PM I saw an employee at the Rockwell and 122nd Homeland tell a guy he couldn’t come in without a mask. I was very pleased. He went out to his car and got one. So I have to ask, why not just wear it to begin with?

I heard a an older guy just yesterday tell a worker at oncue that if God intended us to wear masks we would have been born with one. He just continued on to his shopping and cashier didn't say anything else. Not sure if anything else was said later since I was checking out and leaving. But point is, I don't think Oncue is refusing anyone with or without masks.
