Clark County expanding project hours on road projects

Koval has needed work for years. Hopefully things will be all done before the streets are filled again.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Repairing Koval is a WONDERFUL idea. All the construction of the new Caesars Forum (which is behind Harrah's, not near Caesars or Forum Shops, just to keep visitors confused) has reduced Koval along that block to third-world standards.

Traffic is nice but still tons more people out there than should be. I'm in an essential business so I'm still working every day but only a few hours. It's weird being home at 11 or noon.

Well in the less than 48hrs we here in NZ will go into full lockdown for at least 4 weeks. Excluding essential services. But our government, being the brainless gits they not taken measures to ease (even if slightly) the demand on the supply (which is plentiful it just can't get delivered fast enough) In fact if anything they have put even more strain on the supply train by removing options to allow people to delay having to rush into a supermarket for a day or two.

Drove the Strip and Downtown this morning.




Surreal Vegas.

 

[LadyStanley]

Paywall. Yeah. Wonder if that's part of the $2B already lost per recent article.

Nevada sees record for weekly unemployment claims

Unemployment claims in Nevada jump this past week by more than 90k.

(With apparently 200k+ out of work in Clark County alone, that number could increase significantly next week too.)

I expect almost every Restaurant here to go under, as they can if sell delivery, let alone take out. Heck, Butchers aren't even allowed to open here. Our government has zero clue as what is and is not essential, nor what would be logical things to do to allow people to stay at home. Worse theirs very little accountability, government and the media have been one and the same for a few years now.

2 employees at the airport has just been tested positive for the virus. One TSA back at the beginning of March tested positive.

As someone who works in the airport myself, time to f***ing shut down the airport.

Well that is what the government should do if they were serious about stopping the spread.

But no lets keep airports open and risk spreading the virus to more people.

 

[LadyStanley]

They did that about 10 days ago (control tower closed for 5 days; reduced flights significantly).

They did that about 10 days ago (control tower closed for 5 days; reduced flights significantly).

But they still had the aiport opened.

I am talking about shutting it down completely where there is nobody flying.
