For the first time in a week and a half the state sees a decrease in the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19, even if it’s only three. Total new reported cases jumped sharply though up nearly 1900 putting our total number of cases since the pandemic began at over 70,000. Just over 10 percent of all tests today are positive, a benchmark the feds use to track problem areas. 20 additional fatalities are also being reported.
As state numbers have exploded in recent weeks more and more parishes and cities are adopting mandatory mask orders for people entering businesses or public facilities. In a video Oil City Representative Danny McCormick opposes those efforts and issues a call to action saying now is the time to push back before it is too late.
Cut 5 (07) “…in Nazi Germany.”
McCormick is a signee of a Legislative petition that would override the public emergency declaration by the Governor.
