> It makes no sense how a global city like Vegas who had multiple large scale events during the January/February even into early March time frame, and tons of visitors especially for the Chinese new year...215 reported deaths so far. That number although sad is still remarkably low.

Perhaps a lot of those visitors left the area before symptoms developed.

Right, 7-14 day incubation period. I'm sure there are people who decide to spend 2+ weeks in Vegas but mostly what I hear about are long weekends, or a two day stop as part of a bigger holiday.

But, if it became endemic in Vegas it would start to infect locals. The blackjack dealer and the waitress and the floor manager are still there after you come home.
