Las Vegas mayor slams state's coronavirus lockdown as "total insanity"

Carolyn Goodman on Wednesday called on Nevada’s Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak, to lift the closures imposed on nonessential businesses.

‘This shutdown has become one of total insanity in my opinion, for there is no backup of data as to why we are shut down from the start,’ Goodman told a City Council meeting on Wednesday.

‘No plan in place how to move through the shutdown or how even to come out of it.’

The mayor, who self-identifies as a political independent, said she spoke with experts who told her that the coronavirus or something similar will ‘be part of what we work through going forward.’
