Covid-19 in OKC (coronavirus)

[kukblue1]

And most are already recovered by now. Again, the state is so behind, the numbers will never be accurate. So worrying about them is dumb at this point.

But how many more people did they infect. If there's more people that have it there's more people that are going to get infected?

[Pete]

222 new positives today, by far the most in any one day since this started.

Last four days:

6/12 +222
6/11 +146
6/10 +117
6/9 +158

[PoliSciGuy]

Yeah, things are definitely trending the wrong direction, and outside of that one day earlier this week where we dumped 12,000 tests, we aren't seeing any massive expansions in the number of tests done so our positivity rate is going to trickle up. Without a change in behavior, there's no reason to believe these numbers will just resolve themselves.

[mkjeeves]

Not good. I wish people would heed the warnings and adopt the best practices but it isn't going to happen.

[Ohwiseone]

Yeah, Not good.

I know they do large batches of negatives at once, And I think the next batch is early next week. So hopefully that is another spike in tests.

But yeah, not good at all, and it's bound to get worse with Stitt allowing Nursing Home Visitations.

All we can hope for is that next week the positives go down, but I doubt that.

No they won’t. Unfortunately. I had to stop by Home Depot about 8 this morning on the way to work. I was the only person, employee or customer, wearing a mask.

Tulsa is having a major spike right now. Unfortunately I have no insight into OKC trends.

Seems like a bad time to be holding large political rallies in Tulsa.

Yep. The mortality of this virus is not nearly as high as originally thought. So people are living now.

[soonerguru]

The non-mask wearers are destroying the economy, because their ignorant presence keeps a large segment of the population from engaging with businesses and entertainment venues. I want an ice cream cone, but it is not worth the risk of contracting a deadly virus. Businesses like the Home Depot example above will not get a dime of my money.

You said it. And no one at the speciously timed event will be DONning a mask.

The Braum's my friends work at they've been telling me for weeks there's been no social distancing whatsoever in the dining room. People standing in line waiting to order and pick up their food. Braum's hasn't blocked off any tables like they should have been. At what point are we going to have to start closing things again.

Looks like 40 new cases in OKC I haven't been following it everyday what does an extremely high number and I believe they've been around 15 and 20 for most of the past couple days

Unfortunately I manage a couple building and grounds maintenance contracts so I don’t have a choice but to do business with H-D and Lowe’s. At least I have a stash of N95 masks.

Malls and hotels I’m not going to anyway. I want to go to my couple favorite bar/grills so bad it hurts but it’s not going to happen for awhile. Church is reopening in phases but we’re not going there for awhile either. At least they have online streaming.

[Bunty]

It reflects there are not enough deaths. Also not enough, if any, videos of young people in their 20s or 30s getting out of the hospital after being hospitalized for weeks over the virus. Just not enough for the media to sensationalize upon how bad it can be.

[kukblue1]

Is This a Memorial Day/Protest spike? Number of cases I would lean to no but the increase in Hospitalization around the country I would say yes as the time frame is a perfect fit. Only reason I would say no on the test is cause of the back log. Sure people would be getting sick now from Memorial Day and the Protest but have their test been processed yet or we still talking over a week to get results?

[Edmond_Outsider]

Testing for symptomatic people is getting processed in about 24 hours in OKC. I have a friend who works at the VA hospital who just tested positive.

[OKC_Chipper]

No one wants more cases but I think this graph is important to keep in mind.

I wonder if this is playing into Tulsa some. Or if we have yet to see the impact yet reflected in the numbers.

[OKC Talker]

Unless you're thinking that these cases are different than all the others somehow, increased hospitalizations from the increased cases will happen in a week or two.

Why? A lot of the positive tests we see are from weeks ago. Most are recovered by now.

Hasn’t everyone been saying these results are from two weeks ago? If so wouldn’t the hospitalizations be occurring now?
