Covid-19 in OKC (coronavirus)

[TheTravellers]

...
One can't help but to think: where will avg. daily deaths be in 3.5 weeks?

And then Labor Day weekend is coming up right after that 3.5 weeks... Great data, thanks!

Interesting. Your are quite the data jockey.


And it illustrates the huge problem with the "let everyone get it" approach. By the time we figure out there are a ton new hospitlization and deaths, it will be far too late.

Its unbelievable that anyone would still be considering herd immunity. But I know some do. We need to do our best to contain this as much as possible until a vaccine(s) can be proven to work. That’s the only logical course.

It's a catchphrase for the deniers; the people using it typically have no idea what it means or what it will take to get there.

Yeah. We can’t skip holiday weekends for one summer for the good of mankind? I can’t believe the number of car shows I’m getting emails about weekly. Casinos are open. Really is throwing your money away that important? And a grade school friend of mine that I keep up with on FB promotes a handful of local rock bands. I get TONS of live music promos every week with pictures of packed houses with no masks in sight. Or I did until I unfollowed him. I just don’t get how people don’t get it. I pray that a vaccine is found because if we have to rely on people looking out for each other to get this thing over with we’re going to be about where we are for a LONG time.

True

[Pete]

78,000 new cases today in the U.S., a new record.

And another day of near 1,200 deaths. We'll pass 150K by the end of the weekend and there is no sign of this slowing down.

Phase One here we come.

Is it time to start hoarding Toilet Paper again?

[Bill Robertson]

I know that in the grand scheme this isn’t a big thing especially when there are people like Pete’s neighbor. But: I read many stories about “recovered” cases having strokes, heart attacks, etc. out of the blue weeks after “recovering”. And I can’t help but be concerned. All afternoon sitting at my desk I felt like I was burning up. Sweating like crazy in a 70 degree office. I would swear I was running a high fever but I took my temp and it was 97.5 which is normal for me. All day today breathing was wheezy for lack of a better word. And this happens 2 or 3 days a week. It sucks. I should buy stock in Musinex because I go through a couple bottles a week. And I know there are people that are much worse.

I don’t see it. Stitt would have to eat an elephant sized crow and I don’t think his ego will tolerate that. And even that would only be here if he sucked it up and went back to Phase One. The country’s numbers are going crazy and Oklahoma can’t change that by ourselves.

It’s funny that you say this. I felt the same way in my office a few days this week. I had a normal temperature too. I think a lot of this was related to the humidity we have been seeing.

Been hoarding TP since 1987. I rotate the older stash for Kindling, and makeshift face masks.

Right around the time schools will be trying to reopen. Sigh.

Weather might be a part but this has been pretty consistent since March. This morning I feel absolutely normal. Hopefully this is a trend.

[Bill Robertson]

What a morning so far. I go to Homeland. Everyone wearing masks properly. YAY!!! No one pays any attention to one way aisles but I can work around that. Then I go outside and put the stuff in the trunk. Along with my keys and the cards which I have been doing to sanitize them before I open the car door. Then I shut the trunk. Keys inside. I can’t go back in the store because my mask is also in the trunk. So here I am in a pandemic asking this nice older (my age) guy if he’ll call my wife to come let me in the car. It all worked out and it won’t happen again!

Herd immunity doesn't work if the disease can infect people once they have had it once.

Per the New York Times:

At least 7 new coronavirus deaths and 1,147 new cases were reported in Oklahoma on July 24. Over the past week, there have been an average of 711 cases per day, an increase of 24 percent from the average two weeks earlier.

Not sure why this number keeps coming up. It was a little more than 300 yesterday. Like, 314.

[Pete]

The 1,147 was shown on the OK Dept of Health dashboard but it was actually a combo of the last 2 days.

[PoliSciGuy]

It was a backlog, so those cases are from different days over the last week. The 314 were tests that were reported yesterday.

[Pete]

965 new cases today; a record for a Saturday.

7-day rolling average is 718 cases/per day.


12 more people have died.

44 deaths in just the last 5 days.

314 yesterday yeah right. I said it yesterday and I'll say it again today I'm starting not to believe these numbers

[Pete]

314 yesterday yeah right. I said it yesterday and I'll say it again today I'm starting not to believe these numbers

That's why rolling averages and trends are important.

[LocoAko]

314 yesterday yeah right. I said it yesterday and I'll say it again today I'm starting not to believe these numbers

I definitely don't think there's some sort of conspiracy at the state health department, but the processing of tests certainly makes any one day's total a lot less meaningful.

7-day average death rate is nearing the peak we had in April.

I know how that goes. Im a major creature of habit & changing anything in my routine has really thrown me off. Ive lost my credit card 3 times since this all has started because I remove it from my wallet so I dont have to touch my wallet in a store and then I misplace it.
