By some measures, September is Oklahoma's worst month for COVID-19. Local expert isn't sure a peak

By some measures, September is Oklahoma's worst month for COVID-19. Local expert isn't sure a peak is in sight.


September in some respects is the worst month so far for COVID-19 in Oklahoma, and indicators point toward October being at least as bad, perhaps worse, according to a local expert analyzing trends for an OSU Center for Health Sciences program.

There are more cases this month than any prior, and the average number of active daily cases in a month is another high in September.

Dr. Jennifer Clark is concerned that October could be particularly trying, given that increases in hospitalizations and deaths typically lag behind increases in daily and active cases.
