How much of an outlier were the 58 #COVID19 tests perfomed on the Jazz? It equaled 60% of Oklahoma's peak daily testing capacity and 20% of their total available tests.

And of the 7k tests at state-run labs in the U.S., it equalled .8%. @thedailybeast thedailybeast.com/how-did-the-nb…
NBA players should get tested, to be clear. The Oklahoma Dept. of Health responded well! But Trump's dismantling of gov't systems to deal with a pandemic, his constant lies, and our godawful health care system means non-pros are in for a world of hurt. thedailybeast.com/how-did-the-nb…
A reader, who is at-risk for COVID-19 shared their story with me.

Like many Americans, this family has been placed at far greater risk by the administration's ongoing, bungled response. thedailybeast.com/how-did-the-nb…
Via @TiffanyAlaniz, other Oklahomans who were tested for COVID-19 prior to Wednesday didn't receive the results for days. The Jazz, however, learned as quickly as possible.
@ForrestBennett, a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, is asking similar questions: thedailybeast.com/how-did-the-nb…
Via @KassieMcClung, if an Oklahoman can afford a dr., the dr. has to then check w/the Dept. of Health before the patient gets a COVID-19 test.

A lot less friction for the Jazz, which had a "team" from the Dept. sent to test them. thedailybeast.com/how-did-the-nb…

the entire NBA will eventually get tested. This is a good thing. But in a functional country, medical care wouldn't be divided along class lines. thedailybeast.com/how-did-the-nb…
