Does the number of cases with COVID-19 include recovered cases or just the number who are currently infected? As the number of infections grow, it’s seems like we should know the number who are recovered as well. Maybe give a “currently infected” number and a recovered number not just total who have been infected. It would be nice have a more complete picture.
Good, ask about this: 2 kids from Centennial HS died. From how it was worded, not from covid19, but possibly suicide.
We had technical difficulties this weekend. An update did get posted Saturday. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Why are you not informing us over the weekend? Looking for accurate info.
I did receive a reply that said they were having technical difficulties and the page was updated on Sat. I still show the page with the figures as last being updated on Friday.
How can you not be posting updated figures over the weekend during a national pandemic? There is no excuse Governor Steve Sisolak
Thanks for the new form. What is the total amount of people hospitalized in Southern Nevada for COVID-19? That info is omitted on your new and improved form. Please advise where this info can be found. www.facebook.com/LasVegasWorldNews/posts/3706978476056495
Also ethnicities would help
Southern Nevada Health District That data is great and thank you for all your hard work. Is there vector data that you can provide the community? Such as there are 50 cases of people who live in or frequent Anthem, 75 cases in Southern Highlands, etc... How do we as the public know where to avoid and where potential clusters or hotspots are?
Will you be reporting on the number recovered? Does the daily count of cases include those recovered?

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) - Resources for Businesses and Employers
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) - Resources for Businesses and EmployersQuick care/urgent clinics are alternatives for people who don't have a primary care doctor. Before you go, call the location to let them know you are coming.
I have had a fever for 4 days, but I have not devolped a cough. All information says contact your healthcare provider but I don't have one. Do I just continue isolation or should I be tested? How do you get tested without having a medical provider? As I write this a small sharp pain has started in my chest.
What do we do if we are sick and cannot get in contact with our doctor? Since you are not testing except through our primary physician, we are SOL to get tested?
Wow! I showed 212 with 4 deaths on March 23rd. March 24 was 249 with 6 deaths March 25th was 350 with 10 deaths!! It's increasing because not enough people have taken this seriously. I've been out 1 time in the last 10 days and was one of the only other people wearing GLOVES besides my mask! I haven't been able to stress enough to my own friends and family to sterilize and protect themselves very similar to the way Jeffrey VanWingen does on YouTube on March 24th. I also think everyone needs to think about their car doorknobs and inside their car if they go out. And I think those infected who get an "all clear" after it passes are going out far too soon afterwards. Plus has anyone suggested to them that they change their sheets on their beds AND DESTROY THEIR TOOTHBRUSH?? There is so much we don't know about this coronavirus that I think it needs to be said again and again that we cannot afford to go out - especially if we're not taking extra precautions!!!

Wow. It was 290 like yesterday... 😞

My husband and I have been exposed. We are 73 and 72. He has just recovered from pneumonia and I have diabetes. What should we do besides self quarantine?
Is it true that UNLV has drive through testing available?
How are we going to know if we can't get tested? 🙄
