Covid-19 in OKC (coronavirus)

[Pete]

From that article:

Rhode Island is the state with the most new cases per 100,000 population this week, followed by Arizona, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah, California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Arkansas and North Carolina in the top 10.

Oklahoma has the highest test positivity rate this week, over 25.1%, followed by Utah, Nevada, Virginia, Arizona, Idaho, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Texas, all of which have test positivity rates between 20.1% and 25.0%.

Arizona has the highest number of admissions per 100 available inpatient hospital beds, followed by Arkansas, Maryland, Georgia, Oklahoma, California, South Carolina, Kentucky, District of Columbia, and Alabama.

I think new info needs to get out on where people think they are being infected by covid-19, so people can adjust their activities, if needed.

Yes. I thought the Hot Five or whatever it was the HD called it was a really good thing. But it sure didn't last long.

From that article:

on a more positive Oklahoma is 41st in deaths per 100k population . https://www.beckershospitalreview.co...te-july-1.html

new Mexico which has much stricter lockdowns and half the population has almost double the death rate of Oklahoma

Probably because it kept on calling out (accurately) churches as being a main driver. I’m sure someone put a stop to that.

[Libbymin]

Anecdotally, it definitely feels like I’ve noticed more people that I know personally testing positive.

Yeah. I have really mixed feelings towards our church. On one hand I know they had a lot of pressure from people that wanted to have in person services. They promote distancing and masks but I see on the videos that people aren't doing a good job. No big surprise. On the other hand I for one think online is just fine and they have a very good production set up.

Co-worker found out this afternoon she tested positive for coronavirus. Dr estimated 4 days since exposure, which puts her at church on Sunday. People wearing/not wearing mask or correctly. Singing songs and modified communion service.

[Pete]

3,538 new cases today; 7-day rolling average now 3,923.

43 additional reported deaths; 7-day rolling averages is 31.7.

Hospitalizations are 1,847 (+3).

ICU is 470 (-4).

Stitt says COVID-19 hospitalizations have been 'pretty flat' for two months, but state data show a 50% increase

New Mexico is an old old old state

Why is he able to get away with spreading this nonsense? Is anyone questioning him and/or making him admit he is wrong?
I'm so tired of this useless "leader".

He is being increasingly called out, thus the article.

Tulsa World has done a very good job with this. I recently saw an article that summarized Stitt's many misleading (nice word) statements.

Whoever runs against him is going to have plenty of ammo.

Absolute moron with no regards for facts.

I don't remember there being much discussion about how he just basically just said schools teachers/kids shouldn't quarantined if they have been exposed, where basically every school superintendent said that was ridiculous. He's just making stuff up as he goes along.

[Bill Robertson]

I started typing some response to this newest Stitt crap multiple times and I give up. I'm not a good enough wordsmith to say how disgusting this is.

[Bill Robertson]

Rant alert, sorry.
Many on here might know that I'm a BIG OU and sports in general fan. And I listen to the Sports Animal on the way to, while at and on the way home from work. But there's a Oklahoma Mens Clinic commercial lately that says it's time to "Rip off these face diapers and get back to living". I've called/emailed the station and the clinic and pretty much got told thank you but we don't care about anything but $$$$.

Toxic masculinity has been a big problem with mask wearing, here in the US for sure, but probably in other countries. Disgusting that so many men (and companies) have such a buffoonish caricature of themselves and other men.

Isn't that a 'low testosterone' place?

Talk about toxic masculinity.

I have KTOK play in the morning for my alarm, so I can hear the news, traffic, and weather, and I'm about to change my programming just because of this commercial. Every time I hear them mention "face diapers" I want to throw my echo across the room.

[BDP]

"Rip off these face diapers and get back to living"

That's some dark dark irony right there.

[runOKC]

Those commercials are absolute trash. There’s also one that says “quit acting like a millennial” that I’m sure their target market gets a kick out of but it’s just garbage. Not surprised at all that they have one making fun of masks.

[Bellaboo]

Rip off the face diapers and get back to dying.

Yea, that commercial also says something like "Women want Oklahoma Alpha Males." Those commercials are so hilariously cringy.

[Bill Robertson]

I'm so glad to see so many think like me. WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKIN PANDEMIC THAT'S KILLING SOME AND SERIOUSLY HARMING MANY MORE. Taking safety measures for a relatively short period of time ISN'T the end of the freakin world.

Hahaha OMG I heard that commercial and just turned off the station. I can get sports info elsewhere. It's really funny that the writers of that ad -- and I've worked in advertising for 20 years -- think that is clever copy. As GoGator says it is totally cringeworthy. And, it is probably responsible for killing many people. At this point, there's nothing more that can be said to reach the anti-mask goons. It is what it is.
