Covid-19 in OKC (coronavirus)

[pw405]

Wow... 585 new cases today?

[Pete]

Just went to vote and 100% compliance in mask-wearing; I'd say about 30 people or so.

Governor Stitt Covid19 presser about to start. It is on Facebook or your local news site live streaming.

Governer Stitt came to the conference with a mask for the first time I think. I believe we are about to get a recommendation to wear masks. I would guess.

[Pete]

Stitt: "Oklahomans are doing a better job with the virus than any other state."

[TheTravellers]

Stitt: "Oklahomans are doing a better job with the virus than any other state."

"We're a national leader in the way we've handled it".

Both baldfaced lies.

And even though masks are present on Stitt and another guy, they're hanging around their necks, idiots.

[Pete]

"Cases are up but hospitals still have plenty of capacity. 40% fewer hospital cases than the peak."

Recommending masks but clearly not going to require them.

[FighttheGoodFight]

County by county data coming. This is probably a good thing.

Stitt has changed his tone on masks now. Recommendation for wearing them. I hope he continues to model that behavior and wear one in public. I know this seems small but this is a big change for him.

That was my observation as well.

[Pete]

Stitt now saying they are going to create a color-coded system for depicting virus status by county.

Making the point that problem areas are limited to a few hotspots, not statewide.


Perhaps the county reps should next get up and say while the county-wide #'s are bad, it's really just limited to a few cities in their purview.

Then mayors can tell people on certain streets to be careful but that everyone else should just live their lives, followed by the Block Home chairs who will then blame a recent party at one house.

And then we'll all just forget that almost everyone moves around freely every single day.

He is leaving mask mandates to a city by city basis. He will no mandate it.

I could see certain cities doing this. Let's see what happens.

[David]

So it's open for OKC to mandate them without the state meddling?

[Bill Robertson]

Hello......Mayor Holt..........

[FighttheGoodFight]

He said he will not be heavy handed with municipalities. He also said three times, he will never mandate masks in Oklahoma and believe in freedom.

I'm actually more supportive of city level mandates vs state wide mask mandates. I also like the county level heat maps he talked about.

[TheTravellers]

He said he will not be heavy handed with municipalities. ...

That's such a good look - I won't come down on cities that decide to do what every other municipality in the world that believes in science and a proven way to decrease infection spread does.

[Pete]

The truth is he has said "he'd never" do certain things so often that he's painted himself into a corner and now will just abdicate his leadership and leave it to others.

[OKCretro]

At my polling place only 1 person (man in the 75+ age group) without a mask. Only were about 20 people in there.

So this chart shows that COVID-19 Is doubling the death rate across all age groups. Great.

I think it's far more likely that we'll have a city mandate than a state one at this point.

Sounds familiar.....

That’s not how I interpret that graph. I think it’s showing that your chance of death by covid, for any given age group, isn’t any different than your normal chance of dying outside of covid. The asterisk even suggests that the covid points plot even lower than your normal chance of death. How do you draw your conclusion? Curious as to whether I’m missing something

Yeah, I'm seeing the chart the same way as you.
