Oh look it's the latest entry in the every-few-weeks-since-January series called "let's point the finger at Las Vegas with absolutely zero evidence just so we can write the headline Gambling With People's Lives" https://twitter.com/PeterZeihan/status/1295727527495741441

1. Acknowledging they have zero evidence (contact tracing is hard) and somehow blaming Las Vegas for that
2. Ignoring the anti-evidence that Las Vegas did not become a hotspot in March despite apparently being a COVID cesspool

5. Seriously a lot of the media coverage of this event has been lazy, terrible, and has likely made the problem much worse. (See I can do the no evidence thing too.) The "experts" they go back to the well with have screwed up public messaging over and over again...
...it's the same tired tropes month after month (we'll be seeing beach photos in January I'm convinced). I'm really tired of it. Either do better or like be lazy and terrible at covering something like the election or something.
