This is not just the flu. Thousands of examples prove it isn't. Here's just one example, twin sisters, both nurses, age 37, died of covid-19. This isn't just the flu.

The flu doesn't kill 60k people in ten weeks, the true number is more like 80k and climbing.

The reason for their deaths is blatantly obvious just looking at the photo in the link. I personally am 43 years old, 5'6", 120 pounds and take 10,000iu of vitamin d3, 1 gram of vitamin c, and 30 grams of zinc daily. I have not had a cold, flu or even allergies since I started doing this over 10 years ago. I know that if I get the virus I would not even know it. I will be the first to admit that I was very scared when ebola hit in 2014 because it was a real threat to me if it did become a pandemic. COVID-19 has never been a threat to me, so I am not going to change my life over it.

Not Las Vegas but Zion National Park announced they will begin reopening May 13th. It's only 150 miles from here.

Where are you from Mike from back east? Do you live in the Las Vegas metropolitan area?

Nurses who were repeatedly exposed.... Similar genetics and likely similar health issues like diabetes, even if undiagnosed. The papers make a big deal of a couple of 30-somethings passing because "if it bleeds, it leads" and deaths in the 3rd decade of life are rare, but not unheard of.

The CDC counts go back to January, BTW. So, we're something like 19 weeks in not 10.

This is the main link with their full body picture, not just their faces. They were both 300+ pounds each.

She said the "amazing" pair, who lived together, had other health conditions and had been unwell for some time.

She had the same underlying health condition as Katy and had been unwell prior to her admission when she tested positive for Covid-19.

They don't say what the "underlying health condition" was but nearly all morbidly obese people are diabetic. Diabetes is a known risk factor with this virus just as it is with flu due to weakened immune response.

I'm not sure it will be profitable for them to run table games with only three people per blackjack table for people to a poker table which is a non-starter for any poker player and I believe it was six people for a craps table

[Mariza160]

Craps supposedly maxes out at 16 players. That is pretty tightly
packed together though and I rarely see more than 6 per side or 12.
But for those 12, you also need 4 employees to run the table.
If you're spacing the players out..that would be 3-4 employees to
run a table for 8 players. I can't see how that would work from
a profit-loss perspective for the casino.

At that point, casinos are removing the actual craps table and going to
a digital betting system with a real player coming up to a table to roll,
individual betting stations, and a projected screen to all the multiple bettors.
That would require a really big change, new equipment, and a very different
floor layout. They already have the digital craps machines but real craps
players want to roll the dice... I could see the same system being used for
blackjack...a dealer with a projected screen, digital touch screens for additional
betting or to indicate hit-fold-split where players never touch the card or the table.
From a spacing issue, you'd be removing half of the current table games or more.
If there are ways to socially distance and maximize profits, I am extremely confident
that Las Vegas will find the answer.

Of course it is not 'the flu'. Coronaviruses and influenza viruses are completely different viruses. Both types of virus can and have killed people of all ages, so your example proves nothing.
