    New weekly epidemiology report is out - https://oklahoma.gov/content/dam/ok/...i%20Report.pdf

    OK Dept. of Health is tweeting some takeaways (https://twitter.com/HealthyOklahoma/...83457746817026 - this is their *official, verified account*), with the gist being:

    - Cases are down about 5% compared to the week before
    - 2% more Oklahomans are fully vaccinated
    - 94% of hospitalized Oklahomans are unvaccinated

    And Oklahoma county remains the highest-vaccinated county in the state, with 74.4% having received at least one shot (4% more than Tulsa county)

    The NY Times has Caddo County ahead of Oklahoma County, but it is really close. Would love to know what they are doing there: more than 95% of people over 65 are vaccinated in that county. Amazing!

    Maybe partly a high Native population? It also seems like that county and the small towns got hit hard with cases and deaths last year. I know at one point one of their local fb pages was posting multiple prayer request posts for hospitalizations daily. That might have increased the likelihood of getting the vaccine.

    Monster risk: Fauci says COVID cases 10x too high

    "In a country of our size, you can't be hanging around and having 100,000 infections a day. You've got to get well below 10,000 before you start feeling comfortable," Fauci says.

    ^^^

    Based on the infected my fiance has worked with recently.... We'll probably see those hospitalizations and ICU numbers go up. She said the majority she had been seeing had all had Covid for a week, or longer, before coming to the hospital.... So last Fridays are about to start needing rooms over the weekend.

    Among them was this Yukon teacher. Sad deal. Some of the people commenting here said she was unvaccinated. This is reported by Zach Rael of KOCO.

    Wife was watching News9 and they said the numbers are lower today because they pulled the data earlier than usual, so I'd consider them not really comparable to anything...

    OKC Thunder to require vaccination or negative COVID test to enter arena.

    - Beginning Oct. 4, fans entering Paycom Center for Oklahoma City Thunder games will be required to provide proof of either full or partial COVID vaccination or a negative test taken within 72 hours prior to the game, the team announced today. The Thunder also strongly recommends fans wear face masks while in the arena. The NBA is expected to impose additional guidelines for fans sitting courtside.

    The game entry policy will remain in effect through at least the first 12 games of the preseason and regular season at Paycom Center (Oct.4-Nov. 26) and will also be in effect for the preseason game on Oct. 14 at BOK Center in Tulsa. The policy will be constantly reviewed based on the status of COVID cases in Oklahoma.
