It’s official. Definitely going this year!

As are my 2 employees and wives.   Deciding factors...  2020 Sucked,  cheap First class tickets purchased last fall.  2 bedroom Timeshare Suites a block off the strip. No resort fee, free WiFi, free parking, etc. etc. etc., No need for a rental car.  , don't mind paying a premium right now for good food, good drink. Restaurants and their staff have been through hell this last year.  Last year was the first year since 1999 I haven't been to Vegas at least once!   Unless Gov. chitforbrains does something stupid. We're there!  

Darn Autocorrect.  Gov. Sisolak

Every conservitard is calling Sisolak every name in the book, and some are calling for his removal from office and execution, as retaliation for his doing the right thing. He knew this would be unpopular. He's trying to keep his constituents safe. I admire him for prioritizing that, even over his political fortunes. I contrast that with the actions of jerkasses like DeSantis and Abbott, who in order to curry favor with their RepubliQ bases, pretended like the coronavirus didn't exist (a la Trump) and thousands of their constituents died as a direct result.

 

And wearing a mask is such a horrible horrible horrible burden!!!!!!!

Kevin Lewis, check your facts Libtard. Cumulative deaths by C-19 in Nevada: 205 per 100k. Florida: 196 per 100k, despite Florida having a population that is much older than Nevada, and therefore in a higher risk profile. But you type tends to ignore facts that don't fit your narrative. Those numbers are according to the IHME in case you care to do some real fact checking.

Kevin doesn't recognize the fact that mask wearing crushes business.  People don't enjoy their visits to businesses as much while wearing a mask, so fewer people tend to go places when masks are required.

 

An interesting note.  Am I the only one who has watched the Liberal media early on mostly report death data, and now they've moved on to mostly reporting case data?  There not enough deaths to scare the public, so they needed to move on to a different storyline.

 

Henny-Penny, the sky really isn't going to fall.


Boilerman, you are kidding, right?   The sky still IS falling.  "People don't enjoy their visits to businesses as much while wearing a mask, so fewer people tend to go places when masks are required."  That's crap. 

 

I'm a "people" and I tolerate just fine going everywhere with a mask...stores, fast food places, even airplanes.  It is my own relatives I'm leery of.   If a business doesn't have a "mask required" sign on the door, I wear a mask inside anyway.  I know, yay me.

 

I found out through the grapevine (after the fact, unfortunately) that some of my own relatives have rejected the vaccine (oh, yeah, and they love Trump and believe the election was stolen...on and on), and they don't believe in masks either.  That made me realize we cannot count on those we socialize with having taken precautions.  I trust the Walmart environment more than I trust being in a room with my own cousins.

 

Masks are effective.  Otherwise, why would I and my colleagues have worn masks when in the OR or attending to patients with certain communicable diseases (it was policy, but they didn't have to twist our arms), or every time I put a patient on and off dialysis (central lines, needle insertion, etc.)?  The mask protects the patient from us and us from the patient.

Candy, you're citing common sense and simple science to someone who has for quite some time completely rejected both.

 

I truly can't fathom the attitude that says I'm not going to wear this horrible horrible mask and the welfare of others, not to mention myself, doesn't mean shit to me. Of course, you hear all sorts of rationalizations, justifications, and personal attacks, like some clown just did in this thread. I'm sure you've heard all sorts of specious crap from the no-maskers and had a little, or a lot of it, tossed your way.

 

All we can do is try to avoid these people, which is also a good strategy for dealing with the 75 million.

Ask any business owner which is or has required masks...............a movie theater for example, what this requirement does to business.  My friend's son works at the local theater.  Once masks were no longer required..............the next day mind you..........business surged.

 

Sorry, but the sky is not falling and masks kill business.

Nonsense. Masks aren't the horrible horrible horrible things the whiny crybabies make them out to be. If somebody can't tolerate wearing a mask for the time they're in your establishment, you don't want their silly ass in there anyway.

 

In Portland, I've seen all sorts of businesses with lots of customers--all wearing masks. No one throwing themselves on the floor, kicking their feet, and screaming, "NO FAIR!!!!"

 

Now, in Texas, with a bunch of irresponsible Republitards running around, there might be some blowback. But mask mandates don't kill business. People's irresponsibility does. Here in Portland, we're grownups and we wear our masks and go about our business.
