Covid-19 in OKC (coronavirus)

[king183]

More weak sauce from David Holt. Guy very obviously has designs on the governorship or Inhofe’s seat. Only reasonable explanation at this point.

Actually, he very obviously does not.

[Ohwiseone]

I think that was Holt's strongest Presser since he shut everything down in march. (I did laugh at his line about the 85inch tv you bought for $45.)

But I do wonder, like mentioned a day or two ago, if he has his hands tied on what he can and cannot do. I am not sure if his emergency powers are still active, and if not, what he has power to do.

Whatever you say, Hoss.

Some of us can read between the lines.

I am not sure we watched the same press conference. What would you have liked to have heard from him?

Some of us don't have to read between the lines, hoss. Some of us have actual knowledge--rather than conspiratorial conjecture-- to back up what we say.

Herd immunity has been a dumb concept from the beginning, but it is particularly dumb now that we know there are multiple vaccines with 95% efficacy that are only months away from being widely distributed. This isn't something that we have to keep up with for the next five years; heck, even a year from today we'll probably be fairly close to a pre-pandemic sense of normalcy. The fact that we're just giving up and letting the virus rip unimpeded throughout the country at the moment when we can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel is so dumb and tragic.

Give Holt a break. Holt doesn't have the legal power to do anything since his emergency powers expired. At least he publicly pleaded with people to be responsible. That's really all he can do. The governor on the other hand can do things that he refuses to do.,

Wow, did you read the text of his statement? No weak sauce at all. No dissembling, no look on the bright side, etc. He was very direct and truthful about the situation with no punches pulled. He even smacked the Governor around a bit by making fun of the "personal responsibility" mantra.

[Libbymin]

When did his emergency power expire? Does he not have the ability to gain that power back again? (I’m honestly asking here)

He could totally get it back. He just said his view was that if this were a long-term deal, he would rather have the votes of Council if he is imposing further restrictions.

Some actual restrictions that would materially slow the spread. Begging people doesn’t work.

Wish I was wrong. But I’m not.

Again, how high do the numbers have to go before the seriousness of the current situations sinks in??? 192,000+ cases today and over 2000 dead. I was going to go and do a curbside pick up of a few things for my Thanksgiving dinner, ie cranberry sauce, but no at these numbers its just not worth it. I'll have my turkey plain. I can make rolls. I'm just staying home. Time to lock the front gate and stay put.

Having a required city mask ordinance does work in the sense people usually obey it at least in Stillwater. Most of the time when I go to stores there everybody has a mask on. There was only one glaring exception one day when I saw 5 people in the Perkins Rd. Wal-Mart with no mask.

This is good. Stillwater City Council passes mask mandate extension: https://www.stwnewspress.com/covid-1...184b6ec48.html

That's the way it's going to continue to be as long as COVID-19 keeps it's reputation as a mild and brief illness for most people. I hope the most vulnerable people will pass it up, though. I don't think people who think the threat of the virus is overblown would want to argue with that.

You are the biggest moron on this site, and the main reason I rarely read it anymore. It really sucks that a lot of Oklahomans think like you. The exact reason we are in this current mess.

[Outhunder]

Damn near criminal. This will cause deaths not only for those that attended but also for those that didn’t. Replying about the church gathering.

[David]

Massively irresponsible of him. As the governor he should be setting a better example for the state with his personal choices.

Apparently he doesn't mind having more blood on his hands.

BoulderSooner just loves to stir the pot and get people to fly into outrage.

I'd highly encourage you to put him on your 'ignore' list if he bothers you so much.

This. He's an idiot.

I really am starting to dislike this guy (stitt). I feel like he's a tier above trump at this point for politicians that don't need to be in power.

However, I believe I'm in the minority in oklahoma with that opinion.
