Las Vegas Mayor Wants to Re-open Casinos. Thoughts?

[fiulpro]

Yes I heard about this, I do think it is a really bad idea. One can try and ask the people to follow the rules , but guess what??
They won't! Someday there will be one person who will actually come there without masks and will be the source of infection for others. One cannot take responsibility for each and every man out there .
For the time being he should respect the doctors working hard to try and control the virus, everyone is risking their lives for us to be safe , we should rather stay and home and follow the regulations by heart , it is for us , not for someone else.

My thoughts on that is the fact that the re-opening of casinos impose a large risk to people that will go and gamble and the people that works there too, my opinion is that this pandemic risks should not be set aside, no matter how much strict measures you are going to impose there will always be someone that will slip the crack and cause an increase in the people getting infected, this move for me no matter the reason is just a plain old corporate greed, I get that this is the biggest industry in their city but there should be other things that will support the economy.

No matter how tight is their security or precautions in that place.
If someone is a silent carrier, he can infect others very easily as most people are just using the ordinary face mask.
The virus can penetrate those kind of mask. And the room is air conditioned, which is very susceptible to spread of the virus.
I hope they will not regret this vital decision to their constituents.

Singapore should be the best example of what the 2nd wave of the pandemic would look like. The country did a good job in containing the virus in the beginning, however, opened their country very early and they had no plan on how to fight it versus the 2nd wave.

I reckon the Las Vegas is being pressured by the powerful casino owners.

People are taking it lightly and they wanted to restart their business and keep it rolling and Singapore is a good example where they controlled in the beginning but when they started opened everything, the second wave is creating problems for them.

The casino owners are powerful.

The casino might be powerful but the pandemic happening now cant be stop through the power the casino had, the only thing that can stop it is we working together and doing every possible best to stop the virus not some people only care about make money while they ignore the possible cases that would rise.
It good that  U.S representative (Dina Titus) disagree with her.

I know, it is difficult time for re-opening physical casino but it is not impossible. You cannot control coronavirus by lock-down a city or whole country unless people are aware. If we follow some rules and precautions then we will be able to re-open the casinos. we must have to use masks, must refrain from shaking hands and we need to use sanitizer after a while. If other shop and factories can be opened according maintaining these rules, then I think the casinos can also be opened.

I don't see why not. The pandemic is mostly fake and there's really no need to be scared of the virus.

I read that it's much less lethal than SARS and I haven't seen a panic this big during the SARS epidemic.

The governments are overreacting and we shouldn't force people to stay at home if they feel healthy and want to take a risk. I have been taking a risk since day 1 and feel great.

[erep]

As if there is something behind the mayor's decision to open the casino, the workers are used as a tool for the interests of certain parties. I do not know, I do not agree with this decision unless the corona pandemic in the region has shown a decline. The government should make every effort to complete the spread of the virus and not add to the long list of corona victims.

it's possible these risk takers are infecting lots of other people, possibly as asymptomatic carriers. that's one of the theories behind the lockdowns anyway.

even clinically "mild" (non hospitalized) cases can be quite severe. i had it and was sick for 3+ weeks, sickest i've ever been in my life. i also have some persisting lung damage which hopefully is not permanent.

i don't blame people for being scared. a big majority of those surveyed are in favor of the lockdowns.

unlike COVID-19, SARS never actually became a pandemic. only ~8k people ever got it when the outbreak happened in 2003. since this is a widespread pandemic, the major issue is that healthcare systems can be easily overwhelmed due to the length/severity of the disease.

I don't see why not. The pandemic is mostly fake and there's really no need to be scared of the virus.

I don't understand why you called it fake? so you are not afraid to walk in the street without face mask?

have you seen the number of people who died due to this virus?

sorry, all questions  because I am just interested why you call it fake.

wow, because you were able to survive it doesn't mean other people will survive as well.

We have different strength, some are weak, some does have a good immune system, if this is no threat then it would not be considered as a pandemic and it will not result to a global crisis now, BTW, may I ask what country you are living right now? I'm interested, I would like to check the number of cases in your country.

The powerful casino owners do not want to stop the pandemic, however hehehehe. They only want the mayor to declare a reopening of their casinos and risk the people to get sick of the corona virus hehe

Well.. my question is why blame just the casino owners? We also expect the public to behave responsibly, right? Even if the casinos are open, the gamblers should take stock of the situation in their respective areas and control their urges until it becomes safe to participate in such activities. And until then, there is always the option of gambling online, with the numerous digital casinos.

They will have preventive measures when casinos are going to be open so they say.  Its the pandemic problem that we are about to provide solutions and one problem that has to be solved is the economy and to make the people around Neveda survive because there has to be something to work on so people will earn and survive this lockdown.

Sh*t up if you are just posting to increase your post count.

My sister is working as a nurse, as a frontliner, in a hospital wherein at least 80% of the patients are Covid-19 patients. Not just that, some are under PUM and showing symptoms. Everyday, she is always afraid that she might be infected as well with the virus but still they are here to help. My sister is just one of the healthcare workers who always encounter those confirmed patients EVERY SINGLE DAY risking their lives and health. Don't take your conspiracy theory here as the pandemic virus is REAL and NOT A JOKE.

Why would they not want to stop this pandemic?

If they are losing money because of it, your line of reasoning makes little sense. Then again, even if the mayor allows gambling in Vegas amid the outbreak, it doesn't mean the casinos there will be crowded to the hilt. Whether these greedy (allegedly) bastards (presumably) would actually do something to stop the spread of the disease is another question as they only serve one master and that is the bottom line

Your lucky that you do have that strong immune system. Have you tried to walk without a facemask? (same as questioned above?)
Its just really that dumb to say such things on where it do looks like that you dont have any concern for other people. Why fake?
Are those numbers of deaths are a big joke? I dont know if you are dreaming or not.You do say things too easy and doesnt think up
on what would be the effect, you would surely believe if this thing is real if you do get the virus itself.

First of all, I'm happy the Mayor's offer was turned down or else the situation will be worse more than now.
With that been said, I think Pixie85 haven't experienced the true case of the COVID-19 and that's why he believes the government is overreacting as you can see he make his statement base on what he read and the last time i checked some article writer spread false information.

Of course, he knows the Covid is real, its just that the government and media had been overreacting. In reality the virus will only consume the ones with a weak immune system. But 8 out of 10 probably has a weak system this is why the media needs to take precautions by overreacting. 

Did you know that there were tested positive but doesn't have symptoms?  No matter, the virus kills and thousands had died already.

They overreacted because they want people to take the pandemic circumstance more important and the virus dont only consume people with weak immune system alone cause it also consumes elderly people with some kind of sickness aliment.
Do you know the total number of people with aliment that will visit the casino if the Mayor's offer is accepted?

Just wow . I don't know how you able to ignore such thing. Yeah it is true that corona virus is less lethal than the other viruses existed but it's spread rate is no joke. That's what it makes more dangerous, hello? It won't become a pandemic for nothing.

I totally disagree for Las Vegas to open their city mainly just for business purposes (eg. Casinos and other amenities) because it is very risky. We can't disregard the tendency of getting a second wave of covid once they open since gamblers all over their country will come over there for sure.
