More than 70 San Antonio police officers in coronavirus quarantine, department says BY MIKE STUNSON JUNE 29, 2020 11:35 AM Coronavirus numbers have surged within the San Antonio Police Department, according to new figures. Fifty-six sworn officers within the police department have tested positive for coronavirus since March, according to a police spokesperson. Many of those cases have occurred this month. There were just six officers who had tested positive for COVID-19 on May 29, KENS-TV reported. Of the officers with coronavirus, 17 have recovered, police said. One officer is hospitalized, while the others are recovering at home, a spokesperson told McClatchy News in an e-mail. Those who are positive for the virus aren’t the only police officers unable to work in the city. Seventy-one officers are currently in quarantine and there are 151 total police personnel quarantined, the department said. The San Antonio Police Department has 2,463 sworn officers, a spokesperson said. Reasons for the police department’s rise in coronavirus cases were not given, but the spike corresponds with a large increase in the city’s overall numbers.More than 10,000 people have tested positive for coronavirus in San Antonio’s Bexar County, according to the health department. As cases continue to surge throughout June, San Antonio set a record Saturday with 795 new cases, the city said.

Oklahoma Is Seeing 100% Positive Test Rate For COVID-19 Following Trump’s Tulsa Rally Even though Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma quickly became a laughingstock after only about 6,000 people showed up, it may be having an impact on the spread of coronavirus in the state. As MSNBC’s Chris Hayes pointed out on Monday, 100 percent of coronavirus tests in Oklahoma came back positive over the past two days. “Yesterday in Oklahoma, they tested 352 people for the coronavirus, and every single test came back positive,” the MSNBC host said. “Today they tested another 178 people, and all those tests came back positive, too.” Chris Hayes reports that positive coronavirus test rates in Oklahoma have skyrocketed in recent days following Donald Trump's Tulsa rally earlier this month. #ctl #p2 pic.twitter.com/kmaYwdM5pQ — PoliticusUSA (@politicususa) June 30, 2020 As Chris Hayes noted on Monday, it’s hard to pinpoint the exact cause and effect of mass gatherings like Trump’s rally in Oklahoma on the spread of the coronavirus – especially in the short term. What we do know, however, is that the president’s actions – both direct and indirect – are helping the virus spread. Whether it’s bringing people together at events that violate every single one of his own CDC’s recommendations or refusing to be an example for the country by wearing a mask, Trump himself is an obstacle to stopping the spread of this deadly virus. The best thing for the health and wellbeing of the United States is for Donald Trump to be voted out of office.
