After the end of the world: the eerie silence of the Las Vegas Strip

I think the photo toward the end showing homeless social distancing is interesting. I can't seem to post it here for some reason.

There are so many depressing stories. And I don't feel sad about the casinos ... I feel bad about the casino workers. I feel bad about all the people who depend on those casino workers to earn their livelihoods. I feel awful about the rows of homeless people sleeping in taped squares in a parking lot.

It's easy to ignore those kinds of things on a day-to-day basis, but now they're in your face, and you cannot not think about them.

People are going to die because of COVID, without ever having gotten COVID. And their disappearance won't add to the statistics, and won't be tracked or noticed.

I'm miserable that our government allows things to come to this.

This one? (actually as I look at the link, I don't think it's going to show up) Nope, it shows up.

Yes, that picture. Interesting idea but those people are much closer together than 6 feet apart. It’s not like they don’t have more space in the parking lots.
