Curve flattening in Southern Nevada, officials hope peak is 'sooner rather than later'

[TexasTowelie]

The good news – social distancing is working. The curve is flattening and the peak of COVID-19 hospitalizations is moving farther away in Southern Nevada.

The bad news – the delayed peak could mean an extended time hunkering down.

“I don’t want to speak too far ahead,” Dr. Vit Kraushaar, Medical Investigator for the Southern Nevada Health District, adding SNHD is determining the effectiveness of social distancing and he “doesn’t want to give false or preliminary information.”

Models place the peak of the disease in Nevada at a number of dates in April. One, from the University of Washington, says the peak use of resources in the state was April 8.

1. If they use that term I'd be really suspicious

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Would not buy that bill of goods.

We have a massive homeless Population which the disease has not yer hit.

4. We do too. California and Washington as well. It is a consideration I have been listening to

for a while now. It should be much worse, and that is a consideration.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. The Casino operators had the City Council

pass laws forbidding and Homeless persons from setting up any Tents or Tent cities in side the Vegas City Limits. So,they just moved to the Unincorporated Clark County area and set up shop or moved into North Las Vegas.

It is only going to get ugly from here on out. We have been in a cool damp weather pattern which if a perfect breeding ground for Colds and flu. Top that off with heavy Pollen counts.

6. The whole west coast has the same. Homeless took more than one street, downtown. It got cleared out

right as this started. Pollen and all. We are in the same place.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Sure are in the same boat.

Noticed our Conservative County Commissioners in Washoe County want all out of state people to be quarantined for 14 days. So,they really are going to piss off all those folks from Cali and Oregon who just moved into Reno Area and are still using their out of state License tags.

You just can not fix the Stupid.

3. The west has done so well. I am seeing good news in my Oregon state. Now, the whole system failed

when it came to unemployment. It is still in fail. But, as far as the disease itself, the West has done incredibly well.
