1. hahahahahhahahah

My dumbass governor, probably caught it at that trump rally in tulsa.

[avebury]

4. He was asked that and

indicated that it has been too long since the disaster rally.

[SoonerPride]

5. He is such an embarrassment. But what else is new.

If I could afford it, I would move to Oregon.

But as it is I'm stuck in Oklahoma. Sigh.

9. We would welcome you here!

There are some pretty inexpensive parts of the state.

[SoonerPride]

10. Probably the parts with trump supporters.

If there are any.

[MissB]

13. Oh yeah, there are some

But they aren’t all trumpers

[LisaL]

14. Too long since the rally? For what?

When was he tested before the test that came back positive? He claims he is tested regularly, but what does that mean? He could have been positive and largely asymptomatic for a while, running around mask free.

2. I knew he'd be a Republican before even looking

Not that Dems can't get it, of course they can. But the Republicans have refused to take it seriously, endangering their citizens, and - d'oh - themselves.

3. Wait, I thought it was a hoax!

[Thomas Hurt]

6. to be blunt, it won't matter unless he suffers some serious symptoms...

even then, he may still not get it.

7. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt tests positive for coronavirus

Gov. Kevin Stitt has tested positive for COVID-19, and is believed to be the first governor to have caught the highly contagious virus.

Stitt, Oklahoma's first-term Republican governor, announced his positive test results Wednesday on a conference call with reporters.

"I personally get tested periodically throughout this whole thing," Stitt said. "I got tested yesterday for COVID-19 and the results came back positive." Stitt said he is feeling "fine" and had minor body aches on Tuesday.

The news comes as Oklahoma is seeing surge of COVID-19 cases and the Stitt administration has been criticized for not doing more to respond to the state's growing number of positive cases and hospitalizations.

Although Stitt has encouraged Oklahomans to wear a face mask in public when social distancing is not possible, Stitt rarely wears a mask in public. Public health officials say wearing a mask in public can reduce the spread of COVID-19.

8. The Tulsa disaster

Ah well - no tears here

[BannonsLiver]

15. Too far out from that. He got it elsewhere.

Rally was almost a month ago.

[LisaL]

16. We don't know that.

He could have been positive for a while and didn't know it, since it seems he is largely asymptomatic.
