I like how you throw out a number based on what you think. Here is the link to the latest SNHD report, and local data indicates the percentage you tossed out is not likely accurate.

http://media.southernnevadahealthdis...te-COVID19.pdf

Cumulative, not current, hospitalization percentages in Clark County are as follows, and unless you are privy to data which is not publicly available, I have not see anything showing where data is cut off at age 55 at either the county or state level. (N.B.: I believe SNHD ought to be displaying the age groups like the CDC for ease of comparison.)

Age Hospitalization %

0-4 0.11%
5-17 0.33%
18-24 1.87%
25-49 27.34%

Total % of Cumulative Hospitalizations 0-49: 29.65%

Age Hospitalization %

50-64 33.19%
65+ 37.16%

Total % of Cumulative Hospitalizations 50+: 70.35%

Total % of Cumulative Hospitalizations with at least one known underlying health condition (SNHD does not provide percentages by age group for underlying medical conditions): 48.62%

After looking at the data the public is allowed to see, I am amazed anyone could conclude that the best way to protect the elderly and most vulnerable is to effectively lock everyone in their homes and out of their businesses.

25-49 is kind of a BS age grouping as well. I'd be much more interested in those stats broken down by decade of life.

A 25 yo has very little in common with a 49 yo in terms of health issues.

Because I was doing US numbers.


Do you ever have a conversation where you discuss first and accuse later? This leading with accusations and attacks is quite tiring.

I don't see the attack you're referencing but I can name several posters to the Las Vegas board with a years long history of blatent personal attacks on posters they view as conservative.

Virus fatality is 5.5% of the cases contracted
This needs a hard look not ignoring the fact that shelter in place lock down has been tremendously successful

While I realize you indicated you live in central Nevada, I would assume you understand you are posting in a forum dealing with Las Vegas, Nevada. Therefore, it would seem reasonable for one to assume that you are posting data pertaining to our community unless you state otherwise. That's why I make the effort to be specific about the data I provide along with the sources I use.

Please provide your data source for your statements and let us know if this data is directly related to statistics in Nevada or Clark County.

Indeed it has been successful at destroying the economy.

My stance has been, that the states are not little countries with closed borders keeping the conditions as they are now. My original post was regarding the problems with allowing tourists back into casinos.

So yes, my discussions have been on nationwide wide numbers and how the situation in NV could change if we are not careful in how we open.

Pretty much absurd. The economy was done in by the Corona Virus. And in fact the shut down has likely vastly reduced the damage done.

If we had remained open few would have come and those that did would have brought in CV and carried CV home with them. The resultant damage could likely be much worse than the effects of the shut down.

And in fact we need great care in opening back up so we do not become a source of the CV propagating.
