Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said Wednesday that he has tested positive for coronavirus, a day after the state reported a record number of new COVID-19 cases.
Stitt made the announcement in a Zoom call with reporters along with his interim Health Commissioner, Lance Frye.
Stitt led a meeting of the Commissioners of the Land Office on Tuesday morning. He wore a mask around his neck but otherwise led the meeting without a mask and answered reporters questions after the meeting.
A member of Stitts cabinet, David Ostrowe, tested positive for the coronavirus in March and quarantined for two weeks.

A good thing to put on a tombstone.
WTF does he think wearing a mask around his neck is going to do? All the people that were there on Tuesday were exposed.

(22,913 posts)11. I forget. Was he at the Trump Tulsa rally?
It might have been too long ago now for it to have been a direct transmission event for Stitt. However he easily could have contracted Covid-19 from someone who caught it from someone who was at that rally. That is exactly how super spreading events work, and it should surprise no one if this keeps spreading through OK Republican circles now, and beyond.
