Rural Oklahoma Has the Worst Wuhan Virus Rates

5/7/2020

Comments

 
  Meat Processors, Convalescent Care, Medical Facilities, & Migrant Worker Housing; were the most common facilities where the century's worst pandemic spread is showing up.  A virus which originated in the city of Wuhan, in Communist China; has covered the world and especially the United States. 
  The worst outbreak is in Guymon, in the Oklahoma panhandle (Texas County). There, a slaughter house run by Seaboard Meats and run with Asian and Somali immigrant workers has a massive local infection rate.
  Greer County and Washington County have massive local infection rates in Nursing Homes & other medical & Rehab facilities.
  Wuhan is the location of a virus research facility which the Chinese govt controls, and the United States helped fund, under the Obama Administration.  the Communist government has not provided transparency regarding how the virus is impacting China. Foreign media is largely blocked from access, and China is blaming the US for planting the virus in Wuhan.
  Given the variety of local public policy rules, there appears to be no correlation between 'Stalinist' curfews and safer populations.  Social distancing & basic hygiene are largely the factors which work.

16 rural counties are more densely infected than Tulsa & OKC.

Picture
  Even when practicing effective social distancing, some human interaction still occurs.  The odds that your interaction will be with an infected person, Is far greater in some rural counties, than the big cities of Oklahoma. For instance; 5 of the 7 counties next to Tulsa County, are more infected than is Tulsa County.

  Despite the many headlines about the larger cities of Oklahoma having so many reported cases, Cities like Tulsa are actually less saturated with the Covid-19 Wuhan Virus. The average rate of saturation is about 1 confirmed patient per 1000 of population.  Guymon has more than 10 times that  level of saturation
  Nationally, slaughterhouses are the industry of worst outbreaks. the massive blood and flesh on floors, tables, and work tools are clearly a concern. But the virus is mutated to attach to lung tissue in order to reproduce & spread. So the virus needs to enter human (or possibly animal) respiratory organs.   Slaughterhouses employ thousands of workers who are stationed just inches from each other, as they cut & package meat products. 
  But the bigger institutions of social spread are the prisons and other incarceration facilities, where the inmates have no personal choice to 'socially distance, and little resources for proper hygiene.  The prison workers are largely to blame for infecting inmates. What's worse is that infected inmates are not promptly tested, and are kept in the general prison population.  While the American population is provided hospital inpatient care in 19% of Covid infections, Prison inmates are hospitalized in less than 1% of the cases. This could lead to a major class-action lawsuit of huge financial impact, because the US Supreme Court has ruled that the denial of prudent medical treatment is a form of cruel & unusual punishment.

    ​"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.​
