Damn, Oklahoma, you sit up there all nice and quiet and then — kabam!

A set of parents wrote a nice, really nice, letter to the Board of Education suggesting that in-person school be postponed for nine weeks.

A board member replied —

Hello Adam;

Thanks for your opinion.

I’m not convinced anyone, certainly not the experts, most defiantly not me know much about covid. We shut down schools because it is what we had to do in order to defeat the deadly Chinese virus, just 21 days if we shut everything down, more than 2 months later states started to reopen. Then the 2nd wave and cases with numbers never seen before, well actually the group (20 to 50 year olds) that were not aloud in hospitals and clinics because they were not at risk were not being tested well now they are. Tests were not available then Kodak gets resurrected with a $500 million contract to provide chemicals to make tests now we are testing at a rate of nearly a million a day, nation wide. Reporting is faulty as many states are/were counting a positive covid test the same as a positive antibody test, which are the opposite. One sais you have it one sais you have antibodies which help your body fight it off.  The press want you to be in tune with the number of cases as bad news sells and those numbers are going up but death rate is going down.

I certainly appreciate the trust you place in myself and the board but there is no right decision, certainly not for everyone…

I’m not certain what language that is but I seriously doubt this guy could even correct his mistakes.  But, ya know, it’s Oklahoma, so you get the same choices we get in Texas when guessing what’s going on – drunk, lost, pig ignorant, or methed up.

Thanks to Keith for the heads up.
