Let us @paytonnmay know what you think⤵️

At Edmond Public Schools, COVID-19 protocols are causing parents to protest.
If an unvaccinated student is exposed, quarantining is required.
Vaccinated students are NOT required to quarantine if they are exposed.
Thoughts? @OKCFOX

State Supt. of Public Instruction @joy4ok says she learned this morning that an Oklahoma 8th grader has died of COVID. She says she learned earlier this week, also, that a teacher died of COVID.

[Emily Collins @EmilyTVNews]

It’s a YES for me. You?

WEIGH-IN: During last year's 1st #COVID surge, health experts warned that winter would be worse.

Now, as we experience a deja-vu inducing summer surge in 2021, are you worried about another dark winter of overloaded hospitals, lockdowns & canceled family gatherings? @OKCFOX

#BREAKING INTEGRIS Health will require staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19. All staff, unless they have a medical or religious exemption, have until November, 1 to be fully vaccinated. @OKCFOX

Thank you to @EmilyTVNews for her follow up story today. It's important to question when people say "studies say" without providing the sources. She showed journalistic integrity asking Mr. Standridge about his statements.

TONIGHT: We sit down with @funky5mab and take his questions straight to Sen. Standridge tonight on @okcfox at 5:00 🎥

[Michael Baxter @DrMBaxter]

@Hi_Dr_Nick @OETAOK My wife, a PharmD, emailed Rob Standridge about #SB658. She implored him to follow scientific recommendations. Below was his response. His views are well outside of expert consensus. His bill will cause harm to children & families.
@EmilyTVNews ask follow up questions please.

@chriswcotner @funky5mab @OKCFOX You are correct. Sen Standridge just emailed me the links to 3 different studies he has referenced:

@jgentgesdo @OKCFOX I don't think this statement is fair. More days than not, my stories include sound from health professionals, many of them your own colleagues, who urge mask-wearing and explain why.

[Emily Collins @EmilyTVNews]

“The whole idea of masking seems almost more of a control issue than a health issue to me.” State Sen. Rob Standridge

Standridge co-authored the bill banning schools from requiring masks. 3 districts have defied that law. Will they be held accountable? Find out at 5 on @OKCFOX

[Emily Collins @EmilyTVNews]

🎥Tune in tonight at 9 for a first-hand look inside the #COVID19 ICU at @SSMHealthSaints. 👇

[Connor Hansen @Connor_R_Hansen]

Today, SSM St. Anthony brought us into its COVID-19 ICU to get a first hand look at what’s going on. Right now it’s at capacity. We talked to one of there nurses about how they’re dealing with this second wave. @OKCFOX

[Emily Collins @EmilyTVNews]

"Every day we work, we see someone die."
Jill McSparrin, an ICU Nurse with INTEGRIS, gave her perspective during this week's @OKMed update. McSparrin says nurses are exhausted & some are suffering from PTSD. What to do if you're exposed and where to get tested at 5 on @OKCFOX.

[Angelica Brown @AngelicaB2290]

JUST IN: @EdmondSchools confirms at least one Santa Fe High School student tested positive with #COVID. The district says this student is on the cross country team & some students are having to quarantine.

The district is working to get more details on this. @OKCFOX
