Does anyone have fresh stats on the state by state breakdown of the Covid's spread across the US over the last couple of weeks? From what I've seen of the nationwide upsurge of cases, it's quite likely Nevada will have no choice but to go back into lockdown.

as of today, they are already closing bars again. https://www.rgj.com/story/news/2020/07/10/nevada-bars-closed-las-vegas-casinos-open-governor-sisolak-update/5414497002/

the governor said ~1.5 weeks ago that previous restrictions would be coming back if the trends don't improve. they just set a record for hospitalizations and set the 2nd highest record for daily new cases, so sadly it looks like a matter of time now. https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/new-nevada-sets-new-record-for-hospitalizations-reports-nearly-900-new-covid-19-cases/

This is not good for the business, we are not sure of the decision but it looks like there's an indication that the operation might be halted again.
Just like when they opened, they are slowly opening the casinos and now it looks like the opposite would happen where they will be slowly closing.

Hopefully this would not happen, as a gambler I really wish that, as I also understands the contribution of the casinos to the economy but if things are already out of control, it will leave the government with no choice but to close it again.
