March Madness and Covid-19

[Sooner04]

Oklahoma is in the midst of a surge on RT.Live. First time since I've been tracking that we've registered above 1.00.

Yes, Tulsa in particular is seeing a big surge in cases. The last time I was at Hillcrest we reported 18 new cases while I was there.

A buddy of mine that I work with has a brother in Broken Arrow that tested positive after having symptoms. Now his wife also has it.

Wow, Arizona is getting hammered by Covid-19. They have reported more than 1,300 new cases for each day for the last week. I think we can put to bed the idea that this will magically disappear in hot weather. Hopefully, they can get a handle on the surge.

Do how long until we have a surge in deaths and hospitalizations?
Also, what is the best website that has all stats and graphs? I usually look through 2 or 3 each day but some aren't updated very often

Probably 3-4 weeks.

Worldometer is pretty good. As is John's Hopkins.

Purely depends on who is getting sick and who is not. I would think at this point in time the highest risk groups have learned a lesson and are still utilizing these lessons, and if not, then what possibly can be done.

When you have 1,300 plus new cases a day, there is no isolation that will be effective. Everyone has to take precautions. And I'm talking about Arizona. Here in Oklahoma we have had 600+ new cases since Friday so we are headed into that territory I think.

Thanks. Anything that I can sort down to Oklahoma easily?

My dad is 70. At this point, it seems like he doesn't really care anymore. I think he would rather live his life and risk getting infected vs being in seclusion and not seeing his family during these late stages in life. I can't really blame him

So how bad do you guys think it really is in China?

The OSDH website is not bad, but I don't know if their numbers can be trusted. I heard from the horse's mouth that they're garbage, but what can you do?

yeah I look at this one and Frontier's. I like Frontier's formats but they don't seem to update quickly.

Freedom does have a price. The thing is if your father wants his freedom, which he has every right to, then someone else will be be blamed for it. There is too much finger pointing in society. If it were up to me there would be less of it, fingers that is.

OSDH updates every day around 11.

It's not about freedom, it's about stopping the spread of a deadly virus. I understand some people don't care about themselves, but maybe they should care about spreading it to others.

What is your proposal? What do you think should do?

I told you, either have it online or outdoors or cancel it. Why was it even scheduled in the first place in the middle of a pandemic?

What's also funny about the rally is that the BOK Center closed all other events, but is allowing 20,000 people to cram in there for a Trump rally, plus the untold number of people who will be outside.

I was speaking more broadly, about everything. It’s ok for thousands to gather for something you believe in, but if you don’t like the message, they shouldn’t be Allowed to gather. That sounds fair.

What is your plan for the country. Should we stay inside forever with no human contact or should we go to work, school, etc.

People should wear masks, but many don’t. Businesses are trying to implement social distancing but not everyone complies. I agree people should wear masks as much as they can, but many people don’t.
