The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb. The possibility of the reemergence of SARS and other novel viruses from animals or laboratories and therefore the need for preparedness should not be ignored.

About 30% of Clark County jobs are in the hotel, food, and entertainment industry. Another 12% are in the retail trade. When Las Vegas catches a cold, then Clark County catches the flu.

Okay... Paper owned by ex- KGB member? Sounds pretty reliable to me. Nooooo way that one is slanted at all. No sir-eee Bob! Completely reputable. Yup!

IN OTHER WORDS....

The independent used to be a reputable paper but is now a tabloid.

Read the wiki link. They're calling it a "viewspaper" not a "newspaper."

Critical thinking required beyond this point.

Wondering how long it will take Nevada to see something like this, if things don't get moving soon...

Many of them stood close together. Thinning the herd.

Well, our governor sure is giving Gretchen Whitmer a run for her money as the nation's worst governor. Despite all the metrics which the transparent governor deigns to give us children, the following is the headline on today's Las Vegas Sun:

"Sisolak says Nevada is nowhere close to relaxing virus restrictions" (Source:https://lasvegassun.com/news/2020/ap...-restrictions/)

The following from the article is astonishing: "The Democratic governor said in a Tuesday night news conference that he doesn't have specific benchmarks he'd like to see before considering easing closures. He said he will rely on doctors who have been advising him about the pandemic while considering factors such as rates of infection and deaths, the impacts on hospitals and input from business. But he said he didn't want to give anyone the idea that discussions about easing restrictions and reopening are happening anytime soon." Translation: our inept governor apparently have given no thought on how to end the mess he created and will defer to unelected, totally risk-averse medical "experts" who have questionable qualifications with little regard for the concerns of the citizens and business community. I eagerly await his plan to refill the public trough once the $401 million Rainy Day Fund is depleted. One thing is for certain; it will be tough for him to tax his way out of this disaster once the tax base has been decimated.

Perhaps Nevadans should follow the lead of Michiganders since the governor clearly only cares about protecting himself since he appears to be in the highest-risk demographic while continuing to expand his power which it appears he has no plans of giving up anytime soon. Another example of this was the activation of 700 more members of the National Guard. (Source: https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/p...diers-2006610/). I know supposedly the state received money from the federal government, but it really begs the question why we need 700 more National Guard troops let alone planning for a 900-bed field hospital at the Las Vegas Convention Center (Source: https://www.ktnv.com/news/coronaviru...ital-if-needed) given declining case numbers and hospital utilization.

Ah yes - That was more a protest by Fringe Christian Trumpites. And not very big nor broadly based. Do you not feel a little uncomfortable citing a demo by well out there Christians?
