Oklahoma R update
Okay, so my prediction of a Tuesday peak was wrong, but R is still headed straight to 1. By the end of the week? Irony of ironies that cases will be in decline just as schools all over the state return for in-person classes.
Oklahoma ICU occupancy update
Compare this update to the one from three days ago: ICU beds are down, COVID beds are down, but their percentages are up because staff decreased by a greater amount. Percentages can be deceptive, and the media knows it. That’s why all you hear on the news is percentage increases or decreases, never actual numbers.
Norman school board member Linda Sexton calls maskless students murderers at latest meeting
This is COVID Derangement Syndrome turned up to 11. This is what the COVID cultists really think. They think that maskless children are murderers and therefore deserve to be punished. This is gutter talk and has no place spewing from the mouth of a board member. One thing is certain: Sexton’s comments have painted a target on the backs of maskless students. What a monster.
Sexton’s vile comments begin at 1:34:18.

COVID cases will peak in Oklahoma within three days
Covidestim.org is a handy site that tracks the infection reproduction rate, R, for COVID cases. When that number is above 1, cases will increase. When it equals 1, cases peak. And when it drops below 1, cases begin to decline. As you can see in the graph, Oklahoma’s R number is rapidly heading straight for 1, meaning that by Tuesday cases will have peaked and will begin their inevitable descent. And R is approaching 1 despite the fact that testing is out of control in this state, with over 13,000 more tests more tests than the previous week being performed, according to the OSHD’s latest epidemiology report. The panic peddlers fear the stalling out and decline of cases, because it means the end of the manufactured hysteria that they’ve been pushing for the past month, and possibly their last opportunity to bring back the whole shebang of states of emergency, lockdowns, and masks.
