Stitt says he won't declare public health emergency as COVID cases, hospitalizations rise again in Oklahoma


Gov. Kevin Stitt is trusting Oklahomans to make their own decisions as COVID-19 cases again rise sharply in the state, he said Friday.

“Not planning on declaring an emergency,” Stitt said during a press conference to announce the appointment of Tulsan John O’Connor as the state’s attorney general.

“This is about personal responsibility. It’s about freedoms,” Stitt said. “I believe that’s where Oklahomans line up on this. This is something you should make those decisions in consultation with your medical professionals.”

Stitt said he has been “leading by example” by getting vaccinated and encouraging others to do the same.

"I believe that’s where Oklahomans line up on this"?

Oklahomans will be lining up at the hospitals if you don't get your head out of your ass.

Covid even exists in the first place, this person NEVER takes this approach.

Does so ONLY to show support for, like I said, the single dumbest adult on earth.
