Hockey great Wayne Gretzky once said the secret to his success was to “skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.” Likewise, Oklahoma’s leaders need to base such serious decisions not on the numbers and situation in which we find ourselves today (which we already know are inaccurate due to a lack of testing), but on where we could be in the coming weeks or, more appropriately, where we want to be in that time frame. The decisions you make in the coming days will have far-reaching impacts on the duration and severity of this crisis. Your office can exhibit decisive leadership now to not only mitigate the effects of current infection but to truly prevent the spread of this disease.
