Gamblers don’t, mostly, have a good grip on probability or statistics. The RIGHT thing to do is to go home, be bored. Go outside only with your own live-in family, make seldom trips to the grocery store and (maybe) the gas station. Hunker down.
I doubt that most of us will do that without being coerced. Which is pretty much the definition of “too stupid to live”. Sorry ’bout that.
Last Friday, I looked up a map of my state to find a county that had no reported cases of the Trump Plague. I had been self isolated for three weeks, so I felt like it was safe that I wouldn’t infect anyone, then drove 40 miles to the grocery store in that county. I’m 75 and have type A blood, so if you think that’s overreacting, I hope you’re right, but I doubt it. I got $200 worth of groceries, should last at least until the end of July.
Then, I noticed a pharmacy tech and asked her " Are there any cases reported here yet?" Her answer: “We wouldn’t know, we have some people we’d like to test, but we have to get the tests from either St Louis or Chicago, and they don’t have enough to test their own people.” So, if you think you are in a Trump Plague free zone, that may be just another one of his lies.
I don’t mind rolling the dice in a game of chance. I’m a little more circumspect when the stakes include my very life, however. Now that spring has arrived with warmer weather, I’m awaiting the miraculous evaporation of the virus, as promised by the Chosen One, he of the “hunch” and the “most stable genius.” But I’m not holding my breath.
I’m not sure what specific Las Vegas-related development is being referenced here, but I can easily imagine that the city’s entertainment-based economy is being hit much harder than those of other cities. A friend of mine was in the middle of a Vegas vacation when everything shut down, and she said it was incredibly unsettling to see the Strip go dark.

I get the feeling that “snake-eyes” is appropriate for Ramirez, especially if the snake is venomous.
