This puts yesterday's Oklahoma covid cases in perspective, as 20,000 prepare for Trump rally.

1. Well, this event will give epidemiologists

some useful data to work with.

[SoonerPride]

3. Our R0 number is approaching 2.

Another 352 cases today. Which would have been a record except for yesterday. So it’s only the 2nd highest daily total ever.

You may notice our rolling seven day average curve is much steeper than in March when covid first came to Oklahoma. Which indicates not only larger raw numbers of infections but an Rnot number approaching 2, which epidemiologists consider exponential spread.

So have a nice weekend.

I’ll be hiding under my covers. 😐

6. Well, I wil be nowhere near

so, I will join you (virtually) under the covers.

11. Just proves more than anything, that Trump only cares about Trump, & "NO ONE ELSE"

If Trump cared about more than Trump, there would be no rally at all were thousands would attend.

17. On the one hand Trump pretends the coronavirus is just a "miniscule" problem now, and on the other

hand the attendees are expected to sign a covid waiver. A bit contradictory.

[Nay]

19. Well, under the word "hypocrite" in the dictionary is a picture of (any) Republican. So . . . nt

16. It's steeper now than in March in part because new case count is higher

Charts like these are best plotted with a log y axis. Only then can one compare R0's for different time periods by comparing slopes.

18. Thanks for posting. Basically, there has never been a time when there is more chance of

getting Covid in Oklahoma.

[Doodley]

4. It will, and any big spike will be blamed on Trump. His presidency will be over.

2. I saw an interview with one of the cult members

Yesterday. She said the increase in numbers are fake, being used by libs to stop the rally. She said they would rally no matter what.

5. Sigh. These people are so dumb it is embarrassing.

[redstatebluegirl]

7. And I get to see them every day in the grocery

store, at work. It is terrifying, but there are many of us trying our best to make a difference. Kendra Horn is one of them and she is under siege by a large group of total moron cult members. The RNC wants that seat back and are spending big money to get it.

8. The ads in Oklahoma City are just nonstop.

Each right wing nut trying to out-crazy the next person.

[redstatebluegirl]

9. I know we are wearing out the mute button.

[ace3csusm]

10. So their is footage of this person so when she gets infected she can be put to

the end of line for medical services...

[redstatebluegirl]

12. I hope so, it was on the okc station last night.

I think it was kfor but it could have been news9. I hit the button to change channels a lot to get away from Trump and his twin Stitt.

13. People that attend a rally with 20,000 people are exceptionally stupid.

As if there were no virus anywhere, anytime, and that unknown virus could not be spread to anyone ever......and if there were a virus,,,,it would be very minor and hurt virtually no one...

Too young & too stupid to remember the 1955 polio epidemic. I remember the fear & I stayed home away from others....Also, these idiots think that this is a minor issue..not a life threatening issue, because Der Fuhrer makes it appears so. Trump is much too stupid and self centered to know the pain & death this will cause..

[Ms. Toad]

14. Didn't they give away a million tickets?? n/t

[ace3csusm]

15. the city should request a copy of the those who signed the release forms,

this way all of those who signed also signed to be at the bottom of the line for medical attention...I feel for all those that will be infected threw community spread ... unless they sanitize the entire city we will see NYC type numbers...

20. I thought Tulsa was preparing for as many as 100,000 counting overflow
