    The trend is not good, Texas is the same trend not as high yet. The issue is all three are trending up last week

    Yeah people should protest that. Gov Walz warned us there would be an explosion after the chaos.

    Same story last night, off all meds this time, woke up to a fever so I took some Tylenol and it subsided and hasn’t come back yet. After a few phone calls this morning wondering where my test results were, turns out the results were available last Friday and they failed to call or email me like they said they would.... That test was negative also. Hopefully the tests are accurate but I’m seeing and hearing a lot of them are not. All of my symptoms had covid written all over them. No old country buffet for me.....

    They are outside, which what we have learned being outside is low risk. So have at it protesters, just do not to destroy property

    So Oklahoma City has seen a spike in new cases but we've only had two deaths since July 1st. The majority, 55%, are under 35 years old which I believe coincides with the protests. So looking for a silver lining.. I'm hoping this will help us develop a herd immunity and we can avoid another shutdown bc much like all other citizens, nobody is having it here.

    Just have to watch hospitals' capacity, IMO. If you can keep in without capacity live life.

    At this point I would be interested to see if you are or are not in the statistic of "Presumed Positive" I hope you keep improving.

    Look at that good communication with no fear-mongering

    infection rates may be going up, but hospitalizations are not.

    It's too bad more people can't do this. Most of the fear-mongering that I see is in the form of not providing all of the information necessary to make informed decisions. "XXX number of new cases and XX number of new deaths today" is as far as most news stories take it. I liken people's reaction to this information to what happens when they start researching health symptoms on WebMD - they immediately think they're going to die. Through the omission of key data, the media is perpetuating fear.

    I've been keeping a close eye on the detailed metrics in a 3 county area where I live and work, and have seen the same information that the OKC mayor posted. Hospitalizations and deaths in people under 50 are, for all intents and purposes, extremely rare. In the county where I live and work, which is around 300,000 people, there have been 6 deaths of people 50-59, one death of a person under 40-49, and zero deaths of a person under 40. 71% of our positive cases have been in people under 60, yet only 8% of our deaths.

    The majority of deaths in our area (77%) are directly tied to long-term care facilities.

    Yet I still see people out walking their dogs, driving in their cars or watering their flowers while wearing a mask. :eek2:

    Pence was on one of the daytime hours of Fox News yesterday, possibly the day before, but it came up about the rallies and how could they feel safe going through with them with numbers uptrending like they are for certain states.

    He stated that what they are leaving out is at the county level. He said that out of the XXXX(said the actual number but don't recall it) number of counties nationwide, only 11 are the cause of these "statewide" increases.

    Was Fox and Friends now that I am remembering it. Old man Ducey(sp?) and Kilmeade were both asking questions.

    I have no evidence other than my own eyes; but if I had to guess the majority of new cases are a combination of A) related to a massive increase in testing availability and B)people under the age of 50 sick of the lockdown and going on about getting their lives back on track. They get exposed, they get infected, but they do not as a general rule get hospitalized.

    Well that's good news, but may want to follow up with your primary doc if you still are feeling misserable. Crap like Lyme have some similar symptoms.

    Get well man!
