OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt announced Wednesday that he has tested positive for the coronavirus and that he is isolating at home, making him the first U.S. governor to report testing positive. Stitt, 48, said he mostly feels fine, although he started feeling “a little achy” Tuesday and sought a test. He said his wife and children were also tested Tuesday and that none of their results came back positive. Stitt has backed one of the country’s most aggressive reopening plans, resisted any statewide mandate on masks and rarely wears one himself. “We respect people’s rights ... to not wear a mask,” Stitt said during Wednesday’s news conference, which was held virtually. “You just open up a big can of worms. “A lot of businesses are requiring it, and that’s fine,” he said. “I’m just hesitant to mandate something that I think is problematic to enforce.” Stitt attended President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa last month, which health experts have said likely contributed to a surge in coronavirus cases there. |

it's not problematic to enforce, dickweed.
but that is beside the point.
you can RECOMMEND stuff that is "problematic" if you KNOW it saves lives.
to do otherwise in the face of a pandemic is reckless to an immoral degree.

They all have to touch the stove I was about two when I tested an electrical outlet with straight pin. Shockingly, I learned my lesson quickly. For me it was the electric fence (I was about 6, dairy farmboy, friend was at our farm as it was the location for the local stop of the bookmobile). I showed him...............grabbed the fence line..... then was smart enough to grab his hand which transferred the shock to him. I was a bad boy. |

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt announced Wednesday that he has tested positive for the coronavirus and that he is isolating at home, making him the first U.S. governor to report testing positive. Stitt, 48, said he mostly feels fine, although he started feeling “a little achy” Tuesday and sought a test. He said his wife and children were also tested Tuesday and that none of their results came back positive. I wonder if his opinions on Covid19 will change as the days go by... especially if he gets more than a little achy. Which "tuesday" was he tested? Yesterday tuesday? or last week Tuesday? Has he been "a little achy" for a day? or has he been dealing with it since last week Tuesday? I wonder if Chuck Woolery's son was more than a little achy sick - and that's why he changed his tune? (I suspect many many many people assume they'll just be typical "sick" if they get Covid19 - meaning if they take some OTC cold/flu medicine they can still "go to work" or "do whatever it is they do daily". I can see someone who just feels a little achy for a few days and then it's gone would continue to pooh pooh the "hype" about the virus....) |

I also wonder if any of these GOP / just the flu people lie about their symptoms. They say "as a courtesy precaution, I will quarantine" but we have no idea how miserable they are in their own bed. As long as they stay out of the hospital, they can tell us this was a nothing burger and not have to publicly change their mind.
Did Boris Johnson come out of the hospital with a different message than he had before he was diagnosed. I don't recall him loudly eating crow, but has his actions since supported a more convinced position than he had at the beginning?

He had a very nasty scar on his face. He actually told us about it during a Safety Day, although he was really too young to remember the actual time it happened. But he had years of doctors visits/surgeries and I'm sure got made fun of because of how the side of his face looked. I don't know if he had scars anywhere else. |
