It’s been three months since the NBA suspended their season following the announcement that a member of the Utah Jazz tested positive for the novel coronavirus, a day that effectively marks the beginning of a new era in our lives. At the time that happened, March 11th, Oklahoma only had two confirmed cases of COVID-19; now there are 7,848 confirmed cases and today, June 11th, 222 of which were reported today - the most new cases ever reported in a single day. Protests concerning racism, racial inequality, and police brutality continue across the country and here in Oklahoma. Also, we’re just over two weeks away from our state primary election on June 30th...and this election is sure to be unlike anything most people have experienced.
