Calling Vegas a "global city" is a bit of a stretch. It's more like a weird theme park surrounded by a whole lot of suburban sprawl. NYC is something like 17x more dense.

Of American cities it's third highest by international arrivals, at least by one measure.

It's behind only New York and Miami in the US, and has more international arrivals than LA, Berlin, Moscow, or Athens.

Sure, but they're all tourists, and they're certainly not coming now. It's a very different flow of humans than the other places you listed.

That was their point, they are all tourists.

But those tourists are long back home so their numbers are not showing up in the stats of Vegas itself.

Increases the chance of bringing covid in earlier and thus passing to residents

Maybe in terms of average density but that's not what matters. In Vegas, the vast majority of people are packed near the strip and density there is much higher than the average for the metro area.

Look ragona not everything is about new York and now matter how much you (personally) shave your head and wear black clothes all day, it still won't be about NYC.

However, fuel your brain with these bits: if lots of transmissions happened in Vegas then they likely counted against another states numbers when those folks went home.

I guess what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.

Wait, I actually DO shave my head and wear black clothes all day. Maybe I should visit NYC, I've... actually never been. And yeah, I really wonder how many transmissions were marked in other locations but picked up in Vegas.

edit: Also, I misssss you. Hope you're well. <3
