The curve is on coronavirus. Jhu. Edu/us-map
Select Nevada
That is the curve
China was able to flatten this
I said I was tipping my cap if you were smarter than all of the world's top experts
So I wasn't really tipping my cap to you

This is the site everyone is using
What site are you using?
Or what is your site
Look I think NV should open April 30th
I just don't think we should do it based upon what average citizens think but rather the experts
Haircut are you kidding me?
I won't get a haircut until the cases has dropped way off
Who cares how we look right now
Some fool may get a haircut and look good in his casket

lol what site am i using? no i'm not using that site that 'everyone' is using

i'm sure there are very scary graphs and maps colored with a lot of red i bet to highlight the imminent danger we are all in.....

i used common sense...i looked at the deaths in this state and then compared it to the population to highlight the absolute tiny impact this has on everyone's mortality

and that last line with the haircut and the casket......i mean try better than that man.....people are seeing through that stuff now....

I just can't see playing live unless there is an effective vaccine. The whole entrance/exit protocol set out be Wynn's memo alone encourages me instead to take my projected future losses and invest in a slot route operator that covers gas stations/bars or a company like Dotty's or Jackpot Joanies.
Yeah. I retired at the end of 2012 and immediately started driving out to Vegas 4-5 times a year. No fear of flying, I just hate the experience. I can't remember the last time before last November that I got a cold, so playing poker in Vegas hadn't been a problem until then. I worked mostly offshore often for weeks at a time 80-120 guys on a rig in fairly close quarters. Only got colds once or twice in 12 years.

Compare Nevada to our Province of Alberta with a population of 4.4 million and we have 66 deaths . Last week anyone that had symptoms could get a test and the numbers started to double. So yes you do have a curve and given that most of your population is in Las Vegas you have done well.

Though the casinos would be the best way to spread the disease.

You could do haircuts responsibly with a typical salon having 6 chairs and only open 2 or 4. Temperature tests prior to entering and masks for the workers and patrons. Clean after each group comes in. Hair Salons are uniques as many of the folks that work there are contractors and not employees

I have to admit I am 10 weeks without a haircut and almost buzz cut it myself yesterday and may give in soon

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR!!!!!!!!

When I read about some of the places that weren’t locking down and relied on social distancing measures, I was really curious to see how that would turn out. So far the numbers aren’t discouraging. Sweden was one I was really curious about as people thought they were making a huge mistake. But so far:

Quote:
Again, there is very little evidence that Sweden has become an unlivable Covid-19 hotbed. As of 17 April, Sweden’s Covid-19 statistics were: 13,216 total cases, 1,400 total deaths, 1,309 cases per million and 139 deaths per million. In terms of cases per million residents, Sweden ranks slightly ahead of its close neighbours, Denmark (1,221) and Norway (1,274). But in Europe as a whole, Sweden ranks 23rd in terms of cases per million and 10th in terms of deaths per million.
Quote:
Overall, however, the fact that good-sized regions from Utah to Sweden to much of East Asia have avoided harsh lockdowns without being overrun by Covid-19 is notable.
Quote:
as time has passed, new data have emerged. A top-quality team from Stanford University has pointed out that the infection rate for Covid-19 must logically be far higher than the official tested rate, and the fatality rate for the virus could thus be much closer to 0.1 per cent than the 2 to 4 per cent that was initially expected. And empirical analyses of national and regional response strategies, including this one, do not necessarily find that costly lockdowns work better against the virus than social distancing.

It should not be taboo to discuss these facts.

Clearly not, or you'd realize that today's numbers have nothing to do with the numbers that could be projected (if we had enough data on this disease to make good projections) after a month of people bringing in the virus from all over and leaving it as a thoughtful gift, and/or getting it there and taking it home.

I don't know what those numbers are, but neither do you. And the numbers you do know have nothing to do with the case.

By the way 19 people in NV died yesterday
That's with stay at home order
3 more at Resorts Casino construction got CV 19 bringing that construction crew to 7 overall and they say they're following distancing and other safeguards
Remember when things open up numbers won't be the same they'll be worse

Spent 90 minutes on live chat and phone getting gaslighted by JetBlue agents about them canceling my return flight from LV on Memorial Day (booked weeks ago for $60 rt, with a voucher I already had, $0 change fee, shrug)

They claimed there were no other flights out of LV to my destination that day - there was a direct one, with seats left - chat agent said no, it's canceled. I showed them a screenshot of their website, and several search engines - they said it was an error, that it was canceled. After 10 minutes of back and forth, I got a hold of a live agent, who saw my chat, and confirmed that I was right, that flight does exist, and that they would change it over for me. The new return flight was 10x what I paid for the original one - so I imagine this may have been a money-grab...

Hey, let's make this a political event after all:

“I call it the safest protest in America,” said Root, noting that the protest caravan’s participants will be driving alongside one another and adhering to social distancing guidelines from the CDC pertaining to the coronavirus. “We support the economy. We support capitalism. We support Trump.”...

“In Nevada, we’ve got pot stores open,” noted Root*. “Why is the rest of the economy closed when pot stores are ‘essential’? This is un-American to call a business unessential versus essential. It’s unconstitutional. … The Constitution and the Commerce Clause** do not allow an individual governor to close a business of call something ‘non-essential.’ Why are golf courses closed when you’re outside [and] you’re far away from people?”

https://www.breitbart.com/radio/2020...otest-caravan/

* Pot stores are NOT open in Nevada, They do provide delivery, through a third party, including medical marijuana. Similarly, all sorts of Dot Com storefronts will deliver just about anything they have for sale, and not just thru Amazon

** States can regulate for the health and welfare of their population, Even President Trump has explained that as far as he is concerned, it is up to the Governors, not him

***Now we've gotten to the Real issue, Governor Sisloak ordered golf courses closed....

He does make a point about, why is construction deemed essential and even tho people are routinely getting covid on the sites, they are not being shut down. Because of kick backs and bribes likely.

I ninja-edited some commentary I had added that was a little too personal about the self-proclaimed "King of Vegas", J

I actually was looking for some live coverage of this event, I was curious, especially at the turnout. (Nice day for a parade.)

https://www.fox5vegas.com/coronaviru...8ea2c9fb7.html

I think the driving political ambition is clear enough:

"For all that, this entrepreneur has another goal in mind. "Once I become even more well-known, and as soon as I have enough money," he says, "I will run for the U.S. Senate."

Football next season, perhaps ?

What is the WAR point though, if construction unwisely spreads CoVid, is the solution to open up more ways CoVid can be spread ?

I’m not sure we will have a football season. If the virus comes back with a second wave in the fall, should the Raiders be playing games in a stadium with over 65,000 people?
