As the coronavirus surges to record levels in Nevada, the governor has implored residents to stay home.

More than 8 million families have fallen into poverty since May, with federal stimulus benefits are set to expire the day after Christmas.surges to record levels in Nevada, the governor has implored residents to stay home. But Democrat Steve Sisolak has also encouraged out-of-state visitors, the lifeblood of Nevada's limping economy, to come to his state and spend money in Las Vegas.

Nevada's tourism and hospitality industry has an estimated $67.6 billion economic impact, employing more workers and bringing in more state tax revenue than any other sector. Right now, it's hurting and Nevada is facing a nearly 13% unemployment rate — the second highest in the U.S. behind Hawaii. Meanwhile, the governor is facing political pushback against more restrictions, along with workers, businesses and industry groups who have taken a big financial hit and are pushing for stability and some way to hang on.

“I don’t have a strong or definitive idea of what that looks like,” Nevada COVID-19 Director Caleb Cage said Friday. After Nevada’s casinos, restaurants and many other businesses were closed in mid-March, the state set a record unemployment rate in April at 30.1%, the highest of any U.S. state ever. Though most businesses have been allowed to reopen, albeit with restrictions, the state’s unemployment rate has for months been among the highest in the country.

Hard to believe the zombie-amoeba who still view this as ‘fake’. I’m curious to know what else falls into this category in their particular world-view - that air doesn’t exist because you can’t see it?!

People don’t listen until they get sick. 🤦🏽‍♀️

While they should stay home for their safety, I doubt the residents are the problem.

The media in America is mostly dead. Today they resemble Russian Pravda. When I turn on the media (NBC, ABC and the like) I can only spend a few minutes watching before I have to change the channel before becoming nauseous.

Sounds a little velociraptorish. Virologists have long studied their subjects in isolation. But it’s become increasingly clear that many viruses cooperate, teaming up to co-infect hosts and break down antiviral immune defences.

This should be common sense by now. If you’ve got nowhere to be - stay home. If you’ve got to go - wear a mask 😷 and keep your distance. C’mon America..It’s not that hard!!!
