I’ve spent most of my life learning about what kills people. Hey, it’s a job and I love it.
The numbers in Oklahoma are blessedly small. Too small for statistical significance but there are some interesting aspects to these numbers. The 2 out of state positives are professional basketball players. We shouldn’t expect a huge increase from out of state since Oklahoma is not exactly a vacation tourist type destination and no one is traveling much nowadays. The first positives were in Tulsa county. That number hasn’t really moved much but Oklahoma county numbers have, a clear indicator of community spread.
The most disturbing numbers are the positives ages 18-64. This is not Wuhan. This is not Italy. This is not Iran. This is not Spain. This is Oklahoma.
Stay safe and act accordingly to your specific locale.

Those younger ages are indeed different and disturbing.
Agree. My eyes caught those numbers immediately.
Young people need to start taking this epidemic seriously.
