Mask required in Nevada
I am an ‘expert’ (I don’t like the word) on ventilators and intubation. I’ve worn surgical masks my entire career, and rarely N-95 masks.
It is hard for me to imagine that universal mask wearing would not decrease the spread of COVID-19. How much? I’d just be guessing.
Rebelling against authority against your own best interests seems more like a childish response than a grownup one.

Greetings Doc,
The old saying goes... use commonsense for common good.
Now a n95facemask stops most covid19 from being sucked into the lungs. Then why not all wears the n95facemask instead of a NON-N95FACEMASK such as any face-cloth/cheap mask?
USA can made tons of nukes, then why not USA makes billions of n95facemasks for all its citizens?
Do you remember the macroeconomics101: the guns versus butter?
Now USA is at war with covid19.
Covidninteen101 model applies here just like the macroeconomics101:
N95FACEMASKs(aka vital items for national defense) VS butter (aka "parties" @ the Mega Church in Phenix, @Bok Center inTulsa, & @Mt Rushmore: the $5.4 million-July4th-event , etc)
The option for picking the right choice is clear, but where is the "beef" for all its citizens?

Covid19 has been landing in USA since Jan 2020; Where is the "beef" aka N95FACEMASK for its citizens?

If God himself came down and said wear a mask because it works....they would still object.

Yeah they would say the constitution guarantees them separation of church and state.
They don't have to listen to God. They have constitutional rights as Americans

I would assume it is a hoax by the churches to aquire more followers. I also would never follow the advice of a fictional deity.

Come on. Everyone else is doing it.
Quote: VegasriderSo the new governors directive states that everyone must wear a mask when out in public or in a business. So why are they still allowing people to smoke inside casinos. I’m playing Bingo and I get scolded for not wearing a mask but the people smoking are allowed to have their mask off and smoke?
Something wrong here
They are guidelines and they are rules and regulations, still are open to some type of interpretation as well as how to be enforced by each individual property. They are not criminal laws and they are not going to be enforced universally and standardized amongst all the properties.
As well one shift might interpret them different than another shift at the same property or have problem enforcing them, due to lack of personnel and non-compliant players. There is going to be a problem with players and personnel and there's a fine line with the Personnel trying to keep everybody satisfied meaning the players as well as the government officials and as well as the management and the media that reports on everything.
In New England, there are two casinos in CT who initially were coordinating their opening and rules. They operate independently from the state of CT, so they can have differing rules and levels of enforcement, but since there are only two of them they can demand compliance with no loss in traffic to the other site so long as they both are equally tough about it.
In RI there are two casinos, operated by the same company. There is no competition. One set of rules and enforcement is uniform since one state's ruling authority controls the whole show.
In NV, since there are so many different organizations operating a host of properties, uniform enforcement industry-wide cannot happen - there are too many variables.
Even within a single casino, across different parts of the property, over three shifts, and accounting for differing personnel due to vacations and days off, uniform levels of compliance, regardless of what management says it's doing ("the safety of our guests and employees has always been our HIGHEST priority") will not happen.
Just yesterday I saw someone at my local casino without a mask for more than ten minutes without anyone making an issue of it. Then a self-appointed "mall cop" type casino enforcer decided he was the Chief Inquisitor of Health and got in the guy's face about it. Dozens of other employees let it pass, but this guy took his appointment to the COVID Gestapo to heart and was totally on the job.
Without editorializing about the incident, I mention it just to demonstrate that mask-wearing, like all of the other "guidelines" depend to a very great extent to who, what, when, ans where.

N95facemasks could save these drivers from covid19-infection too:

The same old story pops up over and over again, and 64,771 New Cases pop up in 1 day (YESTERDAY)! Governments have screwed up:
1 Goverments fail to provide its citizens with a n95facemask.
2 They make thousands of drivers wait on long lines ( or wait on phone for HOURS* ) to renew licenses or file other documents in DMV .
*I kid you not. DMV had indeed placed a driver on hold for 7 hours & 51 minutes, and then DMV hang up on the driver without any explanation. Here is a proof:
