Yes. And the luxury hotels are empty. You can book a suite at the Wynn for 6 nights...and pay only $200 total...airfare included. And they'll upgrade you when you check in.

"Dying" isn't the only concern here.

Sounds like the flu. How come people don't freak out like this every year?
Flu has no cure. Vaccine doesn't eliminate the flu...we've had flu vaccine for ages and ~30,000 people have died this year already from the flu IN THE USA ALONE...sometimes as many as 50-60k people die in a particularly bad flu season.
You see where I am going with this, right?

Don't tell me. Tell that to the sports team franchises. I still go off to work every day.

I don't think a lot of people have woken up to the fact that it's a madhouse out there in certain areas.
People are going to supermarkets and FIGHTING over stuff like the world is ending...or we're about to get 10 feet of snow.
****ing idiots.

I went to Walmart...and wrestled an old lady to the ground over the last pack of toilet paper.

I have lived in Las Vegas since Dec 1979. got the flu on arrival. I get my flu shots every year haven't had the flu since.
The Mirage and The MGM have closed their buffets.
The Broadcasters convention canceled yesterday.
I am doing all my betting from home.

Maybe you should look at Italy.
Hospitals are being overwhelmed.
Need to flatten the curve on cases in the US otherwise......

Of course hospitals are overwhelmed.
People have been whipped into a frenzy and anyone with the sniffles is going in to be checked out for COVID-19.
We're pretty much doing everything you ARE NOT supposed to do in situations like these....ie. PANIC
Thank you fear-mongering media.
Why the government and media took it upon themselves to STOP LYING to people is beyond me.
Hell, they told Ground Zero workers the air was SAFE right after 9/11.
But today, they've got everyone believing they are gonna drop dead from corona. Good job.
