Nevada, like no other state, is totally dependent on tourism. If tourism dies, the state will die. The Democrat governor, Steve Sisolak, is doing his best to kill Nevada. Sisolak seems to be driven more by a lack of clear thinking rather than malicious intent.
Sisolak’s plan is to place most state residents under what amounts to house arrest. In order to discourage anyone from leaving their house he is attempting to make leaving home as unpleasant as possible. Parks are closed, or if that is impossible, at least the bathrooms are closed. He is even attempting to close the vast desert that surrounds Las Vegas, blocking off roads and trails. All businesses are required to close except for “essential” businesses like grocery stores. The schools are closed, making it difficult for parents to work because they have to care for their children.
The entire tourist industry has been shut down. The Las Vegas strip, usually crowded with tourists staying in some of the 150,000 hotel rooms, is completely deserted.
Tourism is the base of Nevada’s economy. Hundreds of thousands of tourist industry workers have been laid off. The state unemployment benefits office is apparently helpless in the face of the flood of applicants.
The governor sees this as a medical problem. It does not seem to bother him that destroying the Nevada economy will devastate the citizens of Nevada. Not only will they lose their jobs, they will also lose their savings and assets.
What exactly is the purpose of the house arrest? The disease is going to spread through the population until enough people are recovered and immune, so that herd immunity develops, and the virus fades away. That is the typical pattern for the spread of a new disease.

Sissy-licker is a known crook.
Manipulating the laws to his benefit at the expense of others is his specialty.
I hope someone figures out how he is personally profiting from this so that we may remove him, from office to prison.
The mention of his attempting to close the entire outdoors is somewhat amusing, I can confirm it’s not working.
Look at a Nevada map and calculate how many gestapo would be required to accomplish that.
The open country is OPEN, only closing all gas stations and grocery stores could possibly stop folk enjoying it.
I’m taking my Land-Rover out today.
It looks like an Apocalypse movie set!
open the cathouses and tourists will start flooding back to Nevada en masse
INDEED!
The circulation of these leftist organs has tanked. Smaller audience; cheaper ad rates.
Thank you Gannett!
If he continues his tyranny he just may disappear into the desert like lots of other mobsters.
Can it beat CHOICE?
~1,000,000/6 = 166,666
An 'organized' church compiled the following words and gave them to the world for over 1500 years.
I doubt that you'd know to 'love Jesus' otherwise.
John 14:21
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
Misreading what I said as usual.
I expected no less from you.
Considering that the Greater LV Metro Area has most of the population, it's no surprise.
1,882,221 so far
3,034,400 in state total
I wonder what the Reno area stats look like?
I didn’t misread what you said. You indicated your preference and in fact your wish for Nevada to not restart. You can’t hide what you have written .
Them old folks WERE going to die from SOME disease, Wuhan just got them first!
Wait until this settles out and check out the data.
I’d bet good money that the spike in Wuhan deaths are met by a corresponding dip in others.
It is STILL gonna be a zero sum game; this life/death thingy!!
Make your plans while you can!
If Nevada and every other state were totally free of any government distancing and closure order, no restrictions on travel...planes...gatherings...etc.
Las Vegas would still fail.
Sure, there are a bunch of hard core gamblers that would visit...but many of the hard core already live there.
They averaged 50 million visitors per year. Those people, conventions, golfers, gamblers were patrons of the finest restaurants in the nation, bar none. And the most luxurious hotels. And don’t even get me going on the shows.
I remember on one weekend about 10 years ago, the Stones were playing the MGM while Judas Priest was playing the Circus.
Where else does that happen?
Alas those days are over.
The consumer has profoundly changed. It will be many years before Las Vegas sees 50 million visitors, if ever again.
By then the entire city will be bankrupt.
Moral of this story is never have a ‘Rat governor.

Now that is what my mom always called “A LOUD suit.”
BINGO!
That superstitious mumbo-jumbo you despise gave us this
In Congress, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--
So if you despise God so much, leave already.
Say… Are you the guy that said Trump TOLD people to drink Lysol®??
Sorry, no sympathy from me for gambling going under.
Nevada needs to figure out something else of value to offer the world.
On a similar note; I wonder how Branson is doing?
I don't think he said that.
It's the ORGANIZED part of religion that has soured him somehow.
Seems like he's not spent much time actually seeking GOD.
