(44,980 posts)When was he tested before the test that came back positive? He claims he is tested regularly, but what does that mean? He could have been positive and largely asymptomatic for a while, running around mask free.

(2,114 posts)Not that Dems can't get it, of course they can. But the Republicans have refused to take it seriously, endangering their citizens, and - d'oh - themselves.

(1,385 posts)Gov. Kevin Stitt has tested positive for COVID-19, and is believed to be the first governor to have caught the highly contagious virus.
Stitt, Oklahoma's first-term Republican governor, announced his positive test results Wednesday on a conference call with reporters.
"I personally get tested periodically throughout this whole thing," Stitt said. "I got tested yesterday for COVID-19 and the results came back positive." Stitt said he is feeling "fine" and had minor body aches on Tuesday.
The news comes as Oklahoma is seeing surge of COVID-19 cases and the Stitt administration has been criticized for not doing more to respond to the state's growing number of positive cases and hospitalizations.
Although Stitt has encouraged Oklahomans to wear a face mask in public when social distancing is not possible, Stitt rarely wears a mask in public. Public health officials say wearing a mask in public can reduce the spread of COVID-19.
