American football coach Mike Gundy has apologised for offending people with some wild comments about the coronavirus pandemic.
Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder also declined to back Gundy’s timeline, saying in a statement: “May 1 seems a little ambitious.”
America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended against gatherings of 50 or more people until at least May 11 to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, which has killed more than 22,000 people in the United States. Most Americans are living under stay-at-home orders, many of which extend past May 1, although Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, a Republican, has only urged people under 65 to stay home while banning gatherings of more than 10 people through until April 30.
