Many shuttered Oklahoma businesses can reopen May 1, Gov. Kevin Stitt says

Following some guidelines from the White House, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt outlined a vision Wednesday for reopening some shuttered businesses starting Friday.

Many other businesses previously deemed "nonessential" will be allowed to reopen on May 1 so long as they adhere to social distancing and sanitation recommendations.

Meanwhile, the state Capitol, which has been closed to the public for several weeks during the pandemic, will remain closed. Stitt said no decision has been made on when the building would reopen to the public.

The three-tiered approach to reopening businesses statewide aims to have Oklahoma back to business as usual by mid-June, so long as the state can manage the number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.

... will be a much higher number than otherwise due to the increased spread of COVID-19 that will be the inevitable result of re-opening public places too soon to an un-vaccinated public.

So Republicans are okay with people dying, so long as their deaths are well-paced.
