Maybe this is the wrong thread? I remember someone posting that the attitude in Las Vegas is that tourists come in & leave before contracting symptoms. I'd guess there is some of that pov, but Nevada does seem to be keeping stats on tourists that develop ********* after leaving the state. I don't have a subscription to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, but here is an article that came out today:
New data shows jump in ********* cases for visitors to Nevada
New data shows jump in COVID cases for visitors to Nevada
The state reports that as of July 25, at least 347 visitors had tested positive for the coronavirus either while in the state or soon after returning home.tinyurl.com
The last report I read, maybe a month ago, said that @100 tourists had tested positive after leaving the state. The number is now 347.
Vegas is very dependent on their tourist industry. I don't think the host city will cancel anything if they can help it. Right now, Nevada has the highest unemployment rate in the country.
The article says that all but 10 of those infected in June were tested in Las Vegas. That’s a completely out of bounds low number for the 1 million visitors that came. Pretty unbelievable in fact.
