Las Vegas has an economy that is totally dependent on tourists.

A large percentage come from Other countries. They won’t be showing up. Americans from states like California, New York and New Jersey will be extremely low. Flights have been cancelled, much lower volume.

Is it your opinion that the severely diminished economics outweigh the increased burden on the Nevada health systems.

I expect that to change in a week to the rest of the school year

Cougar TD

3/24/20 8:44pm

Probably. Wouldn't surprise me. But at least the May 1 date, gave them time to let things develop, gather data, see how
