Not thinking at all
What was that you were saying about contagion?
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) announced on Wednesday he has tested positive for the coronavirus and will self-isolate, Tulsa World reports.
The 47-year-old Stitt is believed to be the first governor in the U.S. to test positive. He attended President Trump’s rally in Tulsa last month, which the county’s health department director said likely contributed to a surge in cases in the region.
Oh, gee. Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea after all.
Stitt led one of the most aggressive reopening plans out of any state and rarely wears a mask in public, according to AP. He has also resisted a statewide mask mandate and said Wednesday after testing positive that he’s still “not thinking about a mask mandate at all.”
Because masks are for radical-left antifa Biden-loving weaklings.
Oklahoma has reported 21,738 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and saw a record 993 new infections on Tuesday, according to its health department.
Thanks, Donnie!
Why would he self quarantine?
My apologies if this has already been noted but the NYT has an artichassayint that the Trump administration have effectively taken the CDC out of the loop. Medical services are no longer reporting new cases, deaths, and other issues to the CDC but must report directly to the White House Coronavirus Task Force, meaning that the CDC will not be able to make the figures public and so leaving the way clear for Trump to downplay the pandemic as much as he wants.

artichassayint? That was ‘article’ when it left my fingers.
I think I mentioned it somewhere but maybe it wasn’t here. It’s horrifying and enraging.
