Bio: Jerad and Jenny were students at Oklahoma State University when they met. They had a lot in common—grandparents in Southwestern Oklahoma, a love of OSU football, and stints as managers at Shortcakes Diner in Stillwater.

Jerad married Jennifer Evans on July 17, 2004, in Drumright, Oklahoma.

Jerad was a good cook. While they were still in school, in their first apartment, there was a kitchen fire. That’s when I knew my daughter was in good hands. He is the only college student I’ve ever known who had renter’s insurance.

====================================================================

Jerad was born in Wichita Falls, Texas, to Max Lindsey and Leah DeBoard. He grew up in Grandfield, Oklahoma, surrounded by his father’s family. His grandfather, Jerold Lindsey, a tail gunner in World War II, was a big influence on him.

As a fifteen-year veteran of the Tulsa Police Department, Jerad found his purpose. In the line of duty, he won several awards for selfless acts, including going into a burning apartment building to carry someone out. He saved that person’s life. He never wore those awards or talked about them; he was just doing the job he was hired to do.

Jerad was a good husband and a good father. He loved his family, his alma mater, and his brothers and sisters in law enforcement. He was Chairman of the Board of Directors and First Vice President of the Oklahoma Fraternal Order of Police, and leaves behind a body of work that will live on.

Survived by:
Jennifer - Wife
and two sons

Fatal Incident Summary
Offender: No Info
Location: OK   USA
Summary: Police Officer Jerad Lindsey died as the result of complications after he contracted COVID-19 while on duty.

====================================================================

COVID-19, a flu-like virus, originated in Wuhan, China. Worth a mention, the Chinese Government had a biological research facility in that very province. At this point, it was widely held that COVID-19 was a bat-coronavirus and the first case was discovered in Wuhan in Oct. 2019.

On Dec. 31, 2019, Chinese authorities alerted the World Health Organization of pneumonia cases in Wuhan City, Hubei province, China, with an unknown cause. Jan 7, 2020 Chinese authorities identify a new type of coronavirus (called novel coronavirus or nCoV).

Despite deaths and an entire Chinese Province(Hubei) quarantined by the Chinese Government, the World Health Organization(WHO) simply declares a global public-health emergency. Despite this serious understatement, on January 31st, President Trump bans foreign nationals from entering the US if they were in China within the prior two weeks. Despite a large public outcry of racism, this move likely saved 1000's of American lives, it would later be deemed.

After a full blown global infection, and an entire country being declared on 'Lockdown'(Italy), on March 11th, WHO declared the outbreak a pandemic. This same day, President Trump bans all travel from 26 European countries. On Mar. 13th, a US national emergency is declared over the novel coronavirus outbreak.

On Mar. 23rd, New York City confirms 21,000 cases, making it the biggest epicenter of the outbreak in the US. On Mar. 31, more than 1/3 of humanity is under some form of lockdown. On Apr. 2nd, the world passes one million COVID-19 infections.

On April 7th, roughly 95% of all Americans are under lockdown, as 42 states issue stay-at-home orders. The entire American economy has ground to a halt. Congress passed laws awarding trillions in grants, loans and other types of assistance to the American working population and businesses.
