Mayor Of Las Vegas wants the whole city open, including casinos and stadiums

[dunfida]

So tax revenue got more priority over people lives. If this words came from a third world poor country then it maybe acceptable but they have enough sources to stay in the lockdown for few more years but still they can't hold on without making any money in the lockdown.

It would really be considerable if those words come to a third world country because out of desperation then we can understand on why they have said those words but for a
rich country? Its totally nonsense on what they've been talking. Resuming businesses while they are on the middle of the problem?

Prioritizing tax or profits than peoples lives? what a pathetic kind of leader they do had in that case.She could just wait for this problem to be solved
out than thinking up selfishly.

This would be a disaster if the Las Vegas plans were followed. The USA has the most deaths by a coronavirus by now and opening one of the busiest cities in the USA will be more dangerous to people. Why would a mayor act like this? Prioritizing the economic gains and not the citizen's health. Many people are scared about the virus right now because it is highly contagious, People are practicing social distancing today, and having casino open means more interaction will happen. This is an inappropriate way of responding to a crisis like this.

Even this all is really scary and not in favor of any thing like this peoples like this really doing poor politics I was watching few channles and we have few peoples with same mentallty like this they want to open business and many things because its good for generating profit and taxes but peoples lives are not important for them really feeling bad for this all.

Such decision will incur many loss of lives if in case they will not be careful about this situation. Social distancing and use of mask should always be practiced if ever they will open all those businesses. If they will implement this soon, they will see the aftermath of this decision even after a month. I hope they are not doing this wrongly.

I was quite surprised by the way of thinking of major las vegas, why it could be so selfish and not thinking about the interests of
many people.Why someone like that can be chosen as a major. I just saw the interview so annoyed, especially Las Vegas residents
more upset and disappointed to have a major who is only selfish. Even though the United States is still an country the first is related
to the spread of corona virus, the major of las vegas should realize this.

These leaders is always thinking for their own welfare, neglecting the bigger problems that might arise when the pandemic virus hits more infection if they continue to have operation while the amidst epedimic continues to be harmful to anyone. They shouldn't ignore this situation, because this is becoming worst if more cases will be reported when physical distancing will be ignored. This shouldn't be given permit to operate gambling while we're still fighting for the virus to spread globally.

[Sadlife]

If mayor opens city prematurely without the virus fully eliminated in the country it could lead to more transmission and more people might get affected leading in to much longer quarantine.
If that happens people will die from starvation and no time to play gambling games or spend time in casino's because they'll be busy struggling to survive.

Because they think having no income, and a temporary drop in the economy is a bigger problem that this virus and the health of every citizen lol. If I'm not mistaken, I saw somewhere in Reddit that in the interview, she was asked if she would step in the casino along with the workers (when they re-open casinos), she said: " first of all, I have a family". How funny that she's also afraid of getting infected but does not even think of the people. And that she also has her family, does she think that casino workers don't have a family? Is she the only one who has a family? They only think of their own safety, but not everyone else.

They're probably not looking at the bigger picture as it could snowball even further, few days ago I remember reading an article about one place in Japan suffering from a similar situation. They lifted the lockdown after recovering from the virus then the number of cases started rising once again.

It looks like casinos might have different approaches even if they're allowed to fully go back and open their business.

[serjent05]

I believe no matter how frustrated the mayor about the City's economy, she should consider the greater goods which is the health of her citizen.  If she wanted to have more revenue, she can actually enable online gaming or online gambling to help with the city economy's finance matter. But opening all the establishment with the height of Pandemic is a no-no for it will only put her citizen in great danger.

Indeed, it seems that was a short-sighted decision.  Stubborn people never learn the lesson from other's experience such as Japan in this case.

Just curious, what is the appropriate way of dealing with this thing?

To set a 24-hour curfew and then rigorously try to enforce it? But what makes you think that the virus will go away and won't come back when the curfew is finally lifted, instantly throwing you back to square one? It is not the total death toll that counts, especially if all of us will have to pull through this disease eventually (though it counts too, of course), but the so-called case fatality rate that allows us to see things in their true light and from a proper perspective

[Latviand]

That's a pathetic statement and if he ever really make it come to reality that may be the reason he'll be put out on her office. Though they have the least confirmed case by state in the USA that's not a reason she opens the city, no city right now I guess are rising it's economy, most are experiencing downfalls.

I heard this last week on the news. It's a hard decision to do being a mayor but she must feel the pressure from the business community in Nevada. Being a mayor doesn't really mean she is in control of the whole city, it's the people who can run and make money for the city that rules it.

That business community isn' t the community of the whole, I think they should reconsider that it's still risky.

He is really not aware of his surroundings, probably he is not watching news or reading some article related to this virus. How did he become a Mayor if he doesn't have any concern to his people since he is an elected Mayor of Las Vegas. That's the problem in politics, it is really hard to determine if a politician is really responsible and accountable about his position once that he win an election. Allowing business like casino and stadiums to become open during this pandemic is really inhumane. People will surely gather in a casino because of the effect of quarantine, many gamblers are urge to gamble physically and not online that's why casino will probably become populated.

Business like gambling casinos and stadiums aren't necessary during this pandemic no matter if they follow the rules of social distancing, still there is a gathering that will happen. Stay at home and take care of yourself and I hope that the Mayor of Las Vegas should realize the risk and hazard that he might give to people when he really open those places.

[rodskee]

It seems the mayor of Las Vegas only wants profit and do not understand the pandemic, in a recent interview with Cnn anchor Anderson Copper she wants the business open including casinos, hotels, and stadium. what do you think about this

She even accused Anderson Copper of being an alarmist, so pathetic

Check out the interview

Being a Mayor of one of the the largest income places in the world ,
Las Vegas is losing tons of money from this
forced stop operations so i believe that this is a normal Speech from Her but it doesnt mean She will implement this because
Quarantine is a country law and not by cities.
also i can feel Her Desperation because those employees
 from their end and also employers are seeking for profitable days now because of more than a month ECQ.

It is obvious that the mayor of Las Vegas is making the economy the priority, however I wonder how much of a difference will it make? What I mean is that Las Vegas is a city that depends very heavily on its tourism sector in order to generate the profits that it needs and even if they opened the whole economy it is fair to ask us if people are going to fly to Las Vegas to have some fun when they do not even have enough money to pay the rent, when you think about that it is obvious that cities like Las Vegas that depend on its tourism will suffer for a very long time.

There is a part of people who have money and wanted to spend in this lockdown period as well so entertainment spots like vegas targeting such individuals to make income for their economy.I feel like we can see these kind of statement countries by end of this month because they need money to do all these development things and they are already running out of money.

[angrybirdy]

I know this is a very hard decision for the mayor, she just doesn't want their economy to fall while the people in Las Vegas are also suffering from this pandemic. She needs to choose whether she will let the people of this city suffer from this pandemic and its economy will fall or the city will suffer from this pandemic while they can save their economy.

She's taking her cue from Trump who wants to open the economy and keep it moving, this is very dangerous and very sensitive indeed and the stat is showing it, they are now leading in the chart in the most number of infected and death, they should show concern, the virus will not vanish until we have a vaccine, the number will definitely grow, because of their bad actions.

Having a more than a million infected and hundred thousands death?Yeah they must show more concern than anything even economic because they will surely add numbers in their dats now.

Actually those who wanted the lockdown to be lifted are those employees and workers that has nothing to spend now,they are looking for job to have foods in their table and money to pay bills.

People who have money don't want the lockdown to be lifted? I guess who have money also wanted to go outside and wanted to lead their normal life as before like hanging out with friends and girls and wanted to go out for party night,etc.

[Lorence.xD]

That would be crazy, there is still a pandemic and they plan to do business, this is what happens when people ignore science, they will abandon all reason just so they can earn a profit. The worse thing here is that they are abandoning their ethical and moral obligation to the citizens of Las Vegas, I get that their place will not function because most of the businesses there is gambling and that "they care" about the people not getting a paycheck to put food for the table but would you sacrifice the well being of your biggest natural resource which is human resource, this action is a face palm for me, truly disappointing.

I think they just don't have any other choice because their economy is starting to fall drastically, and this is something that they don't want to happen. They think that this is the only solution for their problems, this is crazy because it will look like they are disregarding the safety of their citizen and by doing this, they won't apply social distancing, and people won't stay in their homes.

Yes they are crazy I understand people are needs to earn money because they really need money to buy foods and other needs.
But the government needs to help those people until the lockdown end , a mayor needs to think more before they reopen the businesses because as a mayor he need to protect his citizens not of the sake of money
