Thank goodness the governor has the ultimate authority to enforce the quarantine and shut down and to overrule any effort by the Mayor to throw open the city to highly risky unfettered and tourism People like the Las Vegas Mayor will be the one's that are the ultimate danger to the health of ALL of us. A "control group?" I guess so. If you have ever been in a Las Vegas casino you know just how the entire country and even the entire world is widely represented. Every country, every ethnic group, and most importantly, every state and city in the USA.
A major outbreak in a completely wide open Las Vegas would be devastating. Travel causes a sprinkling of cases spread from one place to another, but to open Las Vegas to tourists who have been locked down for months would be like mailing anthrax to every state and city in the country. They might as well fly over the country with crop dusters and spray a virus laden mist on every corner of the country.
The mayor is either totally insane or she is just politically indebted to casino owners who would most likely fill her pockets to over flowing with campaign funding and graft.
We here in Tennessee are already nervous with the manner in which Georgia threw the doors back open in a what many consider a reckless manner. Travel and traffic between the two states is heavy. If another major outbreak happens in Atlanta, it is almost guaranteed to be break out in Chattanooga and other parts of Tennessee in a matter of a days as people exposed in Atlanta carry it home to Tennessee within hours from being exposed. The direct access and heavy flow of traffic via I-75 to I-81 North leaves NY at risk to reinfection by those traveling from Georgia also.
Before the pandemic there used to be charter flights offered from our Tri-cities airport daily to Las Vegas. I am sure that if Las Vegas were to reopen to tourism airlines and travel agents would jump on the opportunity to capitalize on the chance to offer special prices and package deals to fill airplanes and regain the commissions from hotels and casinos for group bookings. One could only hope that casino owners and others have more common sense and regard for the safety of the nation than the overeager and misguided mayor.
