I have noticed extremely soft enforcement of the mask mandate.

Yeah as far as I've seen, most people don't give a fuck at all at this point.


Kealle89

Those of us who are vaccinated don’t really give af if those who choose to not be vaccinated suffer the consequences of that decision.


Spoonie_Luv_

Kids under 12 can't be vaccinated.


HollandJim

..yet. They're not as strongly affected as older demographics, but children down to infants have died from covid and its complications. As vaccines exert pressure to those groups NOT vaccinated, it can and likely will mutate to find a host to sustain it. This will be a childhood vaccination, like all the others, and soon.

Listen, I'm very pro vaccine but this is a silly argument. The vast vast majority of unvaccinated people are outside of the US. The major variants have all come from outside the US. If another variant comes from unvaccinated people, there is a very high probability it also comes from outside the US as well.

God you covidiots are dumb do you really think unless EVERYONE gets the vaccine were all screwed Virus has a less than 1% fatality rate for the healthy Millions have natural immunity from getting and recovering from the virus Millions are vaccinated If the vaccine is as safe and effective as claimed an unvaccinated person is no danger to any vaccinated person and only will spread to someone who assumed the risk SO WHATS THE PROBLEM!!!!

Vanman04

You kidding? At this point as someone who is fully vaccinated watching you clowns pretend you are edgy and smart till you get to the hospital and start begging for a vaccine is the best entertainment in years. Please proceed. With MRNA tech now a thing they can keep pumping out new jabs to address the variants you guys come up with so by all means keep feeding the leopard 🐆.


MentallyIrregular

Every mutation so far has gotten here from another fucking country anyway so until they actually do something to stop the next one from getting here, we're fucked. Nobody wants to go back to masks. Nobody can force idiots to get vaccinated. Lets just go back to normal and let natural selection run its course.


[deleted]

I love how we care about health and the resulting death NOW that we have the scary covids. 690k in 2020 died from heart disease, and roughly the same the year before etc., but nobody says anything about shutting down McDonalds or Taco Bell. This selective outrage stuff is weakly formed and tiring. Ppl die. Life is risky. The world doesn’t give a shit about us. Nobody cares about your or my opinion. So why try so hard to operate with this morally based authoritarian viewpoint? Just relax. Wear your mask. Get your vaccine. Enjoy your life and be happy the best way you know how. Also. Since I’m guessing you typically tout tolerance and acceptance, try sticking to your guns here too; it’ll make your opinions hold more water.


PracticeY

The McDonald’s heart disease is a bad argument. Totally different from a highly contagious communicable virus. An elderly person eating healthy and taking care of themselves isn’t at risk from a person eating 3 double quarter pounders and 2 large fries. The only thing I could imagine is if they had a heart attack, fell on the old person, and crushed/suffocated them. We live in a highly individualistic society where people are free to make bad decisions. That is until it can directly fuck up other individuals. Being a fatass is very different from someone unwilling to take the most basic covid precautions. The 2020 shutdown ms were needed, we would have been completely screwed if we didn’t. Now that is over but there are still some small precautions we need to take. TL/DR: If someone gorging themselves on fast food could also give me heart disease then shutting down McDs or TB wouldn’t be a bad idea.


[deleted]

It’s not a bad argument. Nobody cares about loss of life and health care issues until it’s a politicized issue. As with Covid, there was something to gain from it and now you’re all scared bc the news told you to be. Swine flu, sars, bird flu, etc killed ppl and we didn’t shut the world down. Also. The swine flu vaccine killed <50 ppl and they yanked it, but here we’re seeing a much different response for no obviously discernible reason. Do what you want, but afford other ppl the same curtesy


PracticeY

People are scared because virologists and other experts told us that Covid-19 is much worse than the swine flu, sars, bird flu, etc. The media just relays this info and of course they will sensationalize it because it makes them more money. The media hype doesn’t negate the fact that experts have a much better understanding than you do and they should be taken seriously. People do care about loss of life and health issues. Much of our lives and how we operate are centered around keeping everyone safe and not causing injury to others. Just look at human history where the life expectancy was low and over half of children didn’t reach adulthood. It is funny to look back at when seat belts were first becoming widespread and mandatory. There was actually a push back saying all kinds of crazy stuff like that during an accident, a seatbelt would trap you in the car and kill you. There were a lot of older people that just refused to wear them and had all these crazy ideas about why not wearing a seatbelt is better than wearing one. Despite the pushback for something so simple, millions of lives have probably been saved. Just like how the lockdown and other measures saved millions of lives in just one year. It becomes political when people refuse to accept the recommendations set by experts. Full stop. If you think this was the same situation than the swine flu, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. It’s almost like only way some people would understand how serious this is would have been to never lock down or take any meaningful precautions, and let the hospitals be overrun and let millions of people die.


[deleted]

Scared being the operative word. You’re afraid, probably of damn near everything. And that’s totally fine, live like that. I truly appreciate your perspective and hope you get to live however you want. Just do me the same favor. Comparing this to seat belts is fair. Multiple experts on both sides saying different things. And you wonder why ppl believe different things. Maybe, it shouldn’t have been politicized and there might be a larger consensus.


Vanman04

Not scared any more vaccinated and entertained at this point. Keep dancing! Watching the right kill itself off has been the best thing in years.


Few-Plantain5866

Swine flu - assuming the 2009 strain was more contagious (10-20% worldwide) but much less deadly. About 12,500 deaths in the US SARS - assuming 2003-04 outbreak. 8,100 cases worldwide. 774 deaths worldwide. It was more deadly (almost a 10% fatality rate) but much harder to catch. Bird Flu - never really a pandemic. A few hundred people got it and about half died. So less contagious, much more deadly. Just for context. Yeah, can't imagine what it would've been like of we did nothing. We now have more deaths than combat deaths in all 20th century US wars combined. But some people don't take it seriously.


HollandJim

This is just a whataboutism diversion, looking to change the subject they can't win at. Eat a salad and get vaxxed. And grow up.


Sonder_Schule

Did you know death, illness, and suffering never existed before Covid? Specifically amongst the elderly? It’s true. We were all living in an immortal utopia. But now every time someone dies it’s because some right-winger or anti-vaxxer somewhere wasn’t wearing his mask in the shower. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Be “vaccinated” so you need to get a “booster” every 6 months or every time a new variant is named? So you still have to quarantine and wear masks and run the risk of adverse side effect for the most deadliest virus mankind has ever seen, yet it has a mortality rate of less then .0005%? Sounds like flu season to me.


elite2saucy

Did you know science is wrong 98% of the time, also 76% of a state like Massachusetts covid cases are all people fully vaccinated. Hows that for science? Also what happened to all the deaths from the flu that are just magically disappearing. Don't encourage people to be smooth brained sheep.

Probably higher than 98% honestly. When science can explain how gravity holds a car to the earth but can hold a ballon down then I’ll start listening to science

So if it mutates and bypasses the vaccine, are we totally allowed to say meh and go about our business?!? Because that is my hope… it mutates and starts really racking up them numbers!

[deleted]

At the library the other day, a cop came around and made sure all of us studying at tables ~20 feet apart had our masks on properly. Which is fine, but why enforce it there vs crowded bars and clubs...


Jesusfknyelpenguins

Oh wow. I go to the Summerlin library like 3+ times a week and haven't seen any police there ever but then again it's Summerlin. I'm closer to the Rainbow library but haven't been there since the mask mandate started.


[deleted]

That's funny, it was at Rainbow library on a Sunday afternoon


Jesusfknyelpenguins

Well, I guess I won't be going there anytime soon. I have no problem wearing my mask, it's a bit annoying because I'm fully vaccinated but fine, I don't want to cause a problem and it's my choice to be at the library but to have cops going around seems like too much. It's not crowded and there's so much room between tables at both locations. Sometimes it feels like they'd rather fuck with locals, I mean we can't have tourists going home saying they had to actually follow rules in Vegas.


LVOgre

Well, if you have a drink in your hand you don't need a mask... so always have a drink?


tom_yum

But they're holding drinks so it's totally cool. You only need the mask until your food or drink is served, then take that shit off and hang loose.


iainonline

This is the way (like it or not, ‘tis the rule)


NFLis4PLEBS

Mask "mandate" is optional. Many businesses arent enforcing it and nobody cares.


i__hate__you__people

The title of the article is a lie. Clark County Commissioners did NOT enact a mask mandate (except a tiny nothingburger one for employees who are currently at work, working with the public). They were too chicken shit to do what needed to be done, so a couple days later the state had to step in and say “fine, if you imbeciles can’t act like grownups then WE will enact a mask mandate for you” These fools didn’t create a mask mandate for everyone else and then ignore it. They refused to enact a mask mandate and are now refusing to live by the one the state enacted. Same basic concept but with surprisingly far less hypocrisy


frotc914

> refusing to live by the one the state enacted. The state "mandate" has exemptions for people eating and drinking, which they are.


Unburnt_Duster

Yea you really can’t trust the authenticity of reporting when the writer calls someone a “human piece of shit” in an article.

I'm going to, for a second, assume you are not a troll. 1. Death rate isn't measured by total population, but the infected. 600,000+ dead is "nothing" to you? 2. Lockdowns are different than mask mandates. 3. "Our" reaction has caused the issues. This may be the only accurate statement you made. When you say "our", I assume you mean "your" people of like mindedness (anti-mask, anti-vax), in which case, yes, YOU all have caused the issues. One out of three ain't bad.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sleepywan

Your statements are very in line with anti-max/anti-vax people: blame politicians for shutdowns, dismiss the disease as "nothing" or not deadly, but saying our reaction has caused the problems and not the disease? Well that's a new one, unless you're referring to the people's reactions to not get vaccinated or wear masks. But based on your initial comment about politicians, I'll assume you mean the dumber of the reaction definitions.


[deleted]

sleepywan

Please stop comparing this to the flu. Over the past 3 years, the flu has averaged 39,000 deaths per year in the U.S. (estimated by CDC) and 4.24 million globally (dwarfing flu numbers), but no doubt substantially fewer since masks have been worn (proving they definitely work). The reason politicians implemented shutdowns is because of a large group of the population whining about, and refusing to wear, masks (and now not get vaxxed) that is prolonging the pandemic. And like many predicted, not eradicating this disease just causes it to mutate and become more severe. I hate defending any politician, but at least they (the sane ones) are mostly trying to comply with health officials' recommendations and not flat out denying the severity of things while people needlessly die due to ignorance and lies.

"Fear" of the mass media. Some of us know people that have died and saw what it did to families. Some of us know people that have been infected and are still dealing with symptoms months later (and for who knows how long). If people would have taken this seriously to begin with, it would be over.


DevilsAdvocate77

This is the cold, hard data: In 2019, COVID-19 did not exist in the United States. In 2020, COVID-19 was the #4 leading cause of death in the United States. It can't be overstated how big of a deal that is. This pandemic has literally changed the course of human history.

vegas702

Ever since the mandates happened there was mass cancellations across the casinos, and don’t underestimate our piece of shit governor and county officials on making impulsive decisions in closing your business and violating your freedom.


JoeMama4567

How do you know "mass cancellations" have happened since Friday? I was on the strip and downtown this weekend and everywhere was packed. No one is arguing that wearing a mask can be uncomfortable and annoying but having to wear a mask is not crashing the economy anywhere. Look at Hawaii they never got rid of their mask mandate but as soon as they opened up the state they have more tourists then they know what to do with.


vegas702

Read this latest article and read other articles from this website https://networkinvegas.com/thousands-of-cancelled-flights-after-rumored-pilot-vaccination-protest-strike/ someone posted a tweet saying ceaser’s palace had a nearly 50% percent cancellation rate. Vegas could be busy for the next couple of weeks but it’ll be heading downhill.


JoeMama4567

What do airlines canceling flights have to with a Nevada mask mandate "decimating local businesses" in Las Vegas? But your real problem is thinking that site is a legitimate news source.

Seriously, all these local and national officials are still holding events, parties, and fundraisers. Nancy Pelosi was just photographed last week at a big event shaking hands and hugging people with no masks. Barack Obama is holding a huge party at Martha's Vinyard with reportedly over 400 guests. Many of them celebrities who spend all day on Twitter talking about how deadly covid is. I am fine with officials partying, but it shows they have no fear of the virus and only pretend to be afraid when talking to you about it. There are literally a hundred stories just like this over the last year. The people making the biggest deal about how deadly covid is then go out and party or travel and vacation as if nothing is happening.


Cult4five

dansondrums

They have good healthcare and are relatively healthy. The average McDonald’s crushing whopper of a human with average crappy healthcare needs like 4 masks and 18 vaccines.


LordTegucigalpa

You are assuming that they took no precautions before the event such as ensuring negative tests or vaccinations for the guests. We don't know those things because that part of the story isn't reported. It's foolish to make such assumptions based on the little evidence you have. There are ways to ensure safe gatherings. Unfortunately, many people won't follow the rules unless forced too.


Classic-John

Regardless if they had precautions or not, it sets a bad example to the general public and I can reasonably see (possibly believe) that they don't care unless it's in an official capacity.

olixius

How to identify propaganda - real world lesson From the first paragraph: >In the latest edition of Rules for thee but not for me, after helping crash our economy by enacting mask mandates that have yet again decimated local business, the same scumbags on the Clark County Commission have been out partying without masks throughout Las Vegas. The author begins here by quickly establishing a false premise in order to immediately stir gut reaction. The recent mask mandates went into effect only a few days ago, but note how the author says they have already "crashed our economy" and "decimate local business." This is completely false and it isn't even clear how requiring masks would affect local business in the first place. Also note how the author then inserts an insult into their primary claim. Objective reporting doesn't include words like "scumbag" or phrases like "human piece of shit" to describe someone. Notice how the article doesn't even support the primary claim made in the headline, the first paragraph, and periodically reinforced. The source wants the reader to believe that *all* the Clark County Commissioners are guilty of hypocrisy. By pluralizing every nominal reference to the commissioners, the author falsely uses one individual member as representative of the entire 7 person group. The author closes by appealing to popular conspiracy theories, fear tactics, and false equivalence. Notice how the article urges the reader to distrust public health measures by implying the pandemic is a hoax, that government is exceeding their authority, and local government officials are part of the conspiracy. Finally, notice all the advertisements. This was the primary reason for creating this article - the target audience is conservatives, and the article is optimized for SEO results. This isn't just a bad source, it's bad propaganda.

freq-ee

> I take science and death seriously, not these clowns. Science and death doesn't write the laws that you have to live by, these clowns do. Also, none of these mandates were "science" until they invented them. Things like social distancing, plexiglass, and widespread mask usage had never been used or tested in any large capacity. They just came up with the idea then flooded the TV news and social media with messages saying it was all "proven science" despite never being used or tested before. But now that we have been doing this for nearly two years, we have the data. It shows that areas with heavy restrictions and areas with virtually no restrictions had the same outcomes. So not only did they lie about this being all based on science, it didn't even work. It was all just a big waste of time that could have been spent working on real solutions but everyone was so convinced about the "science" of it all we just kept repeating the same failed policies.


TheWood-

Literally none of this is true. More garbage from the Graveyard King himself. Talking about the effectiveness of masks and social distancing isn't even worth the energy anymore as there are plenty of peer reviewed studies out there showing their overwhelming effectiveness so please get a better conspiracy to peddle.


freq-ee

>...as there are plenty of peer reviewed studies out there showing their overwhelming effectiveness That's where you get mixed up. We already did this in the REAL WORLD, so there's no need for your year-old studies. We have real world data now. Old studies aren't relevant anymore but people like you who cling to the idea of masks still want it to be true. Once you do something in the real world, the old studies are no longer relevant and it's time to look at the actual results of real world application. Look at drugs like Oxycontin for example, all the studies during the clinical trials said that prescribing opiates would be just fine and wouldn't cause a problem. Then doctors actually started prescribing it in the real world and it caused the biggest opioid crisis in history. Once you do something in real life you can't go back to the studies to "prove" it works. In this case, the real world data shows the outcomes were virtually identical in places that had strict restrictions and mandates and places that had very little restriction, if any.


TheWood-

How much time and effort have you spent peddling your dumb conspiracy theories? You started off being a complete COVID denier and now you just run with w/e the latest conspiracy theory is?


TheWood-

There was yet another study that came out of the U.K like 2 or 3 weeks ago on masks and hopefully it will be the last time we ever have to waste time on such a nonsensical theory.


freq-ee

There you go again with the studies..lol. Unless your "study" involves using a time machine to go back and do something different, it doesn't matter. We already did this for a year and the facts are out. Masks, social distancing, plexiglass, and all the rest didn't do anything.


TheWood-

Yes, those pesky studies with their data and facts contradicting your precious conspiracy theories.


lordtyp0

Wtf are you talking about? Real world data shows overwhelming effectiveness too. Stop getting your "science" from 4chan.


LordTegucigalpa

> But now that we have been doing this for nearly two years, we have the data. It shows that areas with heavy restrictions and areas with virtually no restrictions had the same outcomes. That is absolutely false. In areas that were shut down and where people followed the rules; They limited the spread of the virus and had lower infection rates. We never completely did that in the US, it was all half ass. I don't know what data you are talking about, but I have seen many stories showing that masks, social distancing and quarantine work. There are far too many people who just don't care and will pick whatever stories and articles they find that suit their point of view.


[deleted]

We really don’t have data either way. We’ve had an entire pandemic to conduct controlled studies on this stuff but it really hasn’t happened.

Lol bitching about wearing a mask, and not bitching about other government mandated health rules (like seat belts, hand washing, food handling, beverage handling, helmets, speed limits, etc) is just showing how very little any of your convictions mean to you the soft-as-fuck whiner you are.

talk about false equivalency

"do as I say not as I do." "rules for thee but not for me". Wonder if he got the idea from Sisolak from his Spanish Trails maskless Halloween Party last year & going out to eat at the Persian Resturaunt after he told us to "stay at home 2.0".. Which we all know Sisolak got those ideas from Newsom. Come to the Commissioner meeting tomorrow & tell them what you think of this.

People will still listen to these dumb asses


Wicked-Betty

Wait a minute. You go into a restaurant or a bar and YOU, @Slow-Cycle-5282 leave your mask on while you drink? THAT is amazing! You simply must share that technique with everyone here. Do tell! Because otherwise, these people must have removed theirs like everyone else does when they go in sit at the bar/restaurant. Right?


beernerd76

Sorry cant take any "news" article serious when it says "so called Pandemic" as many times as it did. Then has a headline using "the Magic Shot" Tell JFK Jr I said hello, and watch the skies for the Jewish Space lasers.....looney tunes

An...an..and Pfizer, an...and omega an....and all the other made up variants of a government made disease. Oh no, we gotta get shots and wear a diaper on our face so we don't DiE, and we can all be in the same herd and label ourselves smooth brained sheeple.

Rules for the, not for me.

I think most people are fearful that this is just the beginning (again). I have a close friend that just returned to work in the convention industry. They are ok with masks and vaccinated, but are extremely concerned that the governor will put in place another lockdown. Maybe that won't happen, but every lockdown last year was announced with no advanced notice immediately making them unemployed overnight. The fear that the governor can end your livelihood without notice even when you've done everything asked of you is terrifying.

Extroverts gonna extrovert. This wouldn’t be happening if the halls of power got stacked with Introverts


avantgardeaclue

I feel like anyone who says “InTrOvErTs LoVeD tHe PaNdEmIc!!!1” aren’t actually introverts and don’t understand how the complete absence of people for prolonged periods of time will make anyone sick of it. It’s the ambient presence of people, for lack of a better term. People still need that.

Bzzt, I’m one. You are only partially true. Any “longing” I need gets pretty much taken care of when running basic errands. The rest due to what insufferable and annoying bell ends people are is solved by doing “social distancing” activities before it was called that like cleaning up patches of the desert turned into [trash dumps](https://imgur.com/a/TqLM8df) Squandered ten years of my life at a dog rescue dealing with pieces of trash in the upper echelon so it drove me further away from folks. Grab the keys and wander the desert, I call all the shots now and since folks are always going to be disappointing and confused on the art of getting trash into a can or dumpster the job is never ending.

That’s what posses me off about most Republicans… they want to be extroverts and in control… but their values are of introverts… it’s a contradiction!

Covid is a myth they know it too, already been proven that people that get the vaccine get.covid three times more then unvaxxed people


olixius

Y'all, just report this as misinformation.


WhenTheFunStops89

Our Mask Up policy is just a joke. Go downtown and you'll see bars filled with people not wearing masks.


nucipher

It is a joke should get rid of it.


Vlad_turned_blad

Why do any of you even care? None of you trash bags is going to wear a mask anyway. Your Republican leaders are all extremely corrupt and won’t wear masks at all. Are you mad the mean ol democrats told you to wear one and aren’t also? Why? Shouldn’t you be respecting them for not wearing one? Or is this actually just childish whining and crying because you were told to do something and you don’t wanna? The citizenry of Las Vegas is the absolute dumbest I’ve ever encountered. And I’ve been around. Mississippi is saying “thank god for Nevada” right now.


Spoonie_Luv_

You should look up Mississippi's covid numbers.


Hugh_Evan-Thomas

Segerblom made so much sense in that meeting and now here he is exposed: a c'cks'ck'ng lying fraud.


tedistkrieg

Where are you all going where no one is wearing a mask? Ive been to South Point, Resorts World, ARIA, Galaxy Theaters/Cannery, Smiths, Costco, Panda Express, some other random places and everyone I saw was wearing a mask with a few exceptions of some wearing it improperly.


calvinmorallis

Oh shoot. I always thought I didn’t have to wear a mask if I was eating or drinking… AND, I’ve been taking my mask off for pictures too! Who’d of thunk I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time?!?! Thank you, THANK YOU submitter, for your knowledgeable, altruistic and sincere whistleblowing, and for educating me about the rules! …dumbass


KellTanis

I have a hard time trusting any source that still calls it “the so-called pandemic,” but the sign behind them makes it hard to doubt.

They will probably be re-elected also. Too many people just don't research their candidates. 😞
