This is a key point. Covid-19 does many things besides kill people; it damages the lining of blood vessels which go to every organ in the body. The dramatic increase in blood clots could cause very...

True: but while the U.S. has slowly increased its tests/1 million population to roughly 114,000, countries such as Brazil (15,000), India (7,000) and Mexico (5,000) mean the numbers need to be taken...

New England Journal of Medicine study indicates that people with Type A blood had a 45% higher...

Very interesting. Almost 80% of Covid-19 patients have loss of smell using scratch and sniff tests, but only 40-50% of them realized it. Combining anosmia (loss of smell) with fever checks, and...

Roughly 2.7 million x 10= 27 million
Population of U.S. roughly 330 million
27/330=8.2% of U.S. population not evenly geographically distributed
Long way to go to herd immunity (assuming...

Goldman Sachs says a national mask mandate could slash infections and save economy from a 5% hit

I am grateful for those on this board advocating for the utilization of masks. The comments in opposition are a small sampling of what needs to be overcome. This article addresses the obstacles we...

Today I went for rapid test in an Urgent Care Clinic in Lawton and was happy to have tested negative. In speaking with physician was told that their positive rate was 6% but was cautioned that the...

I wear KN95 masks when I can obtain them. KN95 masks are the Chinese version of N95 masks. Assuming the vendor is not suspect (and some are; some U.S. distributors of KN95 masks tout independent...

University of Oklahoma to require masks inside university buildings and vehicles on all campuses, effective immediately. Damn Liberals ;)
Bravo to President Harroz.

As a surgeon I have been wearing masks for 25 years and I would like to share a simple, inexpensive technique which I believe makes masks much more effective both for the person wearing them and...

Strongly agree. Here are my anecdotes from the last three days.
First, my teenage daughter who works at a restaurant was verbally accosted by a customer when she brought his food to the car wearing...

Exactly. Thank you catch22. That is a very significant difference.

Not sure if vague is the right word, maybe it is along with others, but in any case the MAPS1 ballot, which started it all, had all 8 of it's projects listed on the ballot. That is very different...

Interesting. Thank you. NBA Players must enjoy playing games in Texas just a little more lol.

No, I didn't know that and we are getting off topic (my almost sole focus is the logrolling aspect) and far outside any area of expertise on my part but I am intrigued. How is it that players on...

We are on the same page; no question the relationship has been mutually beneficial. Just pointing out that it is bidirectional.

Let the people vote on the "Chesapeake Energy Arena and Related...

And the increase in value of the team since the purchase has increased from its purchase price in 2006 of $350 million to something like $1.5 billion today (429% return in 13 years). Everyone needs...

How about up to $12.42 million for the Thunder Practice Facility at 9600 N. Oklahoma Ave? That's a handout in my book.

So. Incredibly. Frustrating. The language for MAPS4 is new and unlike previous MAPS ballots. The only language on the ballot in December will be to call for a 1-cent tax for the General Fund for 8...

Repeatedly members of the media refer to the MAPS4 projects as if they are going to appear on the December 10th ballot just as they did in the MAPS1 vote. Here is the actual ballot language which...

It is difficult to overstate the stress on future budgets which this fiscally irresponsible, logrolled package of projects will induce.

Bowing to the pushback on the lack of operations funding to...

Here is an important caveat in the resolution:

"As an implementation plan is developed for the capital projects, and to accommodate inflationary adjustments and maintain equity between distinct...

Separate it, and every project will die. The “I support stuff I don’t need to get stuff I need and want” aspect of MAPS is what makes maps successful in the past.[/QUOTE]

The "I support stuff I...

Let the people vote for the stadium, or at least the arena-stadium grouping as a stand alone vote. If this type of tax initiative doesn't represent logrolling then logrolling has no meaning. 80% of...
