Oklahoma Ranks 4th Best In Covid Recoveries

1/4/2021

Comments

 

Only 3 other states had a better prognosis.

Picture
Oklahoma's Covid statistics give reasons for gratitude, as the data for 2020 gets compiled.  While the impact of social spread in Oklahoma is 35th worst in the nation (7.684 cases per 100,000 population), the chances of dying from Covid-19 (the virus originating in Wuhan, China) are very very low.
​
  On Saturday, we detailed how Oklahoma went from a 6% death rate for Covid patients in April, to less than 1% for the entire average of 2020. In fact, for the 2nd half of 2020 Oklahoma Covid patients experienced only a 0.75% fatality rate, and more than 80% of the fatalities were patients over 65 years of age. This means that Oklahomans under 65 had about a 1-in-a-1000 fatality rate.  This is far less than the patient fatality rate for the annual flu virus for most of the past 30 years. 

Data Snapshot:

  • Oklahoma has the 4th lowest fatality rate for patients testing positive for Covid-19.
  • Oklahoma has the 11th lowest in fatality impact on our state population as a whole. 
  • Oklahoma has the 15th highest saturation of the virus with nearly 8% having already contracted the virus, per to confirmed test results.

Who gets the credit?

  • Some will praise medical professionals & innovations for this accomplishment.
  • Some will praise govt policy & mandates.
  • Some will praise the maturity, wisdom, & responsibility of the citizens.
  • Some will praise God for his divine protection. 
Most of us will see a combination of factors as plausible, in our legacy.

  Our statistics come from the Johns Hopkins epidemiology database. CNN uses the same database and compiles a very useful interactive website which is worthy of a bookmark.

  NYU's Langone Health published a study which confirms that the ventilators were a deadly mistake.  The article, Study Helps Explain Declines In Death Rates From Covid-19; says; " physicians learned that resting COVID-19 patients on their stomachs rather than their backs and delaying the use of ventilators as long as possible were more effective practices, say the study authors. Drugs likely helped as well."

  SoonerPolitics is determined to provide our readers the data analysis which both public health agencies and corporate media outlets are somehow ignoring.  We see fear as a major debilitating and even deadly enemy of our people.  Some are so oppressed by the daily diatribe of selective reporting and gut-wrenching anecdotal narratives.  It's playing right into the hands of our worst instincts to throw off the nation's commitment to our natural rights and freedoms of self-determination. 

  And then there's the addictive aphrodisiacal  thrill which takes over in both health agencies and governmental authorities.  Executive authority must never cede public policy over to health agencies, because those narrowly-focused 'experts' fail to see the overall impact of a dynamic policy.  As President Trump says; "The solution must not be more destructive than the perceived danger we're seeking to avoid." It's akin to what highway patrol troopers tell us about an impending 'deer in the road' scenario.  They tell us that hitting the deer is a safer option than swerving into a much more deadly result (which happens way too often). 
  NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo exemplified this narrowminded behavior when he panicked to clear out the hospitals for fear of them being overwhelmed with  patients.

  He ordered thousands of elderly covid patients to be discharged way too early, and forced back to the unprepared nursing homes, where thousands more then died from massive spreads of the disease. It also resulted in unprepared nursing home staff getting seriously sick because he kept the personal protection equipment(PPE) away from the nursing homes and he hoarded the lifesaving N95 masks for his agency staff and hospitals.

  The primary argument for the early 'Flatten the Curve' policies of 'shutting down' commerce and 'shelter in place' orders was based on the early conventional medical practice of putting hospitalized patients on intensive care unit ventilators.  But hospitals later reversed the protocols and avoid ventilators altogether, because the machines put patients in greater risk, and the policy itself was accused of being wrongfully motivated.  ICU physicians & nurses wanted to protect themselves from the toxic air of ICU patients who were exhaling the virus throughout the hospitals. the ventilators were a quick way of containing and filtering the virus-laden exhale of these gravely sick patients.
​
  Eventually the hospitals retrofitted their wards with sealed air systems and very thorough filtering. These same filtering systems are now standard equipment in our commercial aircraft. While flying commercial is still somewhat dangerous, it's statistically much safer than it was last winter (when 2 of my siblings contracted covid as flight crew for Delta Airlines).

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
