New shutdowns of casinos

Here we go again with half-ass shutdowns. I just don't get it, this just seems to cause a slow bleeding that's dragging this out much longer than it should. I guess we plan on doing this until there's a vaccine, a vaccine that whoever I talk to says they won't even get it.

Desperation seems to have set in. After several craps sessions in Vegas with several casinos in June, I awaited juicy offers from the big boys. Wynn an epic fail, $85 a night plus resort fees. Repeated over several time frames. Venetian the first good offer, three nights, no mention of resort fees. Stations, RR and GVR, has matched. But this week the moment I waited for: Cosmopolitan three nights free, NO resort fees! Winner Winner chicken dinner!

The powers in charge....they don’t know how to mitigate, stop or slow the spread. We may be one country, but we are also 50 states. We are unlike any other country. There is a lot of “states rights” and even “city rights” going on as far as decision making. Not much, if any national uniformity.

Trump isn’t stopping this. Biden isn’t stopping this. Fauci or Superman.

We wait for a vaccine.

Look at Nevada. About 5 months ago we were getting around 150-200 cases per day. We got 2,200 yesterday. This is after a mask mandate and many still in effect limitations. It’s safe to say...it isn’t working.

I don’t have an answer. Frankly, I don’t think anyone does without causing one or the other....a catastrophic economic collapse with closing or increasing numbers with opening.

There is no answer. Nobody is stopping it. People cannot take it when nature refuses to comply with their demands.

Herd immunity will happen sooner or later. Until it does keep living your life.

Virus contagion control is unfortunately a situation where the whole is only as good as the individual parts.

If you had a net to catch fish and there was a gaping hole in it would you declare nets don't work to catch fish?

We are failing because everyone isn't on board with promoting proper protocol.

Ironically these same people point to the pandemic failure to be contained as their reason for not doing their duty. A self-fullfilling argument

The UsofA has a federal governmental system, same as dozens of other countries. The Federal government has a lot of power if it chooses to use it. trump chose not to. could you imagine a President saying we are at war with Russia, but it's up to each state to figure out what works best for them? trump decided to let each state handle this on its own and quite obviously it isn't working, so a new approach is needed.

Anytime he has suggested federal intervention when, oh, I don’t know...a city like Portland is having 260 straight days of rioting protests and the police can’t contain federal building destruction, he’s told to stay the F out.

The Governors are running the same way in a lot of states in battling covid. Even if there was a national mandate of some kind....I can guarantee many states either would not acknowledge it or make up their own.

Say the words “fed” in any big city...and there’s a good chance you’ll be ignored. Or told to get out.

The federal government has shown it has very little control as of late. Each state has been on their own.

I’m getting to the point that Mother Nature will have to run its course. You can throw kryptonite at this virus....it bounces off.

It comes down to people are so used to peace and plenty that they cannot handle something bad comes up. As a historical pandemic it really feels like a lightweight. We are not talking smallpox here. Nature is still in charge no matter what we think we can do.

There are countries on this planet that have eliminated the virus because it's not political.
In Taiwan, being so close to Wuhan and visited by millions of tourists from the mainland. The entire country went on red alert with their 1st case on Jan 21.
The people and the govt were United in eliminating the enemy of the country, Covid.
No politics. Just science, technology, masks, social distancing, tracking.
They eliminated it. No new cases in over 200 days. 7 deaths.
Everything is open. Concerts packed. Life normal.
Taiwans economy grew this year
I heard a Las Vegas parking structure is set up to take patients.
The huge problem facing our country is packed hospitals meaning more deaths due to lack of medical care for cases not covid
