We spend a little extra time discussing not just the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic but how we get to the end of the pandemic, specifically four proposals for how we get there.
SHOW NOTES
- State of play in Oklahoma
- Avg Tests per day: 1440 (265-2750)
- Positivity: 7.0%
- # Tests available: 86,603
- Testing supplies available: 41,327
- Serology testing is underway
- How does OK stack up?
- To test at SK levels: 31,000 tests daily (2.7 days)
- At levels recommended by Paul Romer: 280,000 daily (about 3 hours)
- Serology: How accurate? What does it mean?
Update on Stitt v #okleg
- On Tuesday, the House & Senate filed a lawsuit against the Governor...what???
- They argue that since Stitt didn’t sign nor veto SB199, that it is now law
- And thus, the Board of Equalization must meet in order to declare a revenue failure since the law is in place
- Board of Equalization set to meet April 20. Does that mean the Governor is giving in?
Update on candidate filing
- 46 of 148 seats unopposed. Much more than the last two cycles, but appears to be average overall.
Now is a good time to reach out to lawmakers at home - social media, email, phone, etc.
