It's last call again, at least for seven Nevada counties. 

Starting at 11:59 p.m. Friday, bars, pubs, taverns, distilleries, breweries and wineries in Washoe, Clark, Elko, Humboldt, Lander, Lyon and Nye counties will be closed for at least two weeks amid rising COVID-19 cases.

The news that Washoe and Clark would close was announced by Gov. Steve Sisolak at a press conference Thursday night. More details about the other counties and the factors that went into closing establishments that don't serve food were released Friday afternoon. 

Sisolak said the closures will help slow the spread of the coronavirus. The state made its decision based on three population-based criteria, which factored in the number of tests administered and how many come back positive.

But keeping the casinos open makes sense.....

Maybe I am projecting, but to me the crowd reaction sounds like such a complex symphony of mixed emotions.

 

Like, some nervous laughter as they quickly grasp the insanity of the situation they have put themselves in and how stupid they will immediately look when it goes up on Twitter.

 

Some defiant cheers as they shove down that little voice trying to tell them this is a bad idea. Followed by a little impatience for the guy on the mic to say something. Perhaps lead them all in an inspiring round of "we're here, we're infected. Get used to it!".

 

And ultimately some unease as they stop thinking about the political ramifications and realize they all may have been, or actively are, being exposed to a potentially deadly virus.

 

And the guy on the mic even seemed to pick up on all of this. Not sure if his impotent hackings of "ok, ok" were meant to reassure the crowd or a slightly self aware admission that he knew how absurd he looked...maybe it was a little of both.

I just checked his Twitter account and today he was indoors at a sheriff's office and at a farmers market. Always without masks, not social distancing. Jesus these fucking people

The guy coughed. I've gotten choked on spit before that triggered a coughing fit. 

 

Unless other shit goes down, I'm inclined to see this as an unfortunate coincidence. 

 

Are you a doctor or something? The guy definitely has COVID.

I've done that too sometimes, usually while drinking something.  It sucks when that happens.
