That 2 minute clip is horrible. But surely the entire interview wasn't that bad. Selective editing, right?
[watches the entire 25 minute interview.
Holy Jesus, all of it was really that bad!!

We are in some stupid mad rush to reopen, and it is very predictable that this will lead to another surge. It is simple math. You will overload your hospitals, you will start to ration ventilators, and then you will shut down again. These are easy predictions to make. Sad that our leaders and many other idiots insist on experiencing this effect for themselves. It is a defect in human nature that we only trust our own eyes.

As bad as this is, this is even MORE callous and selfish than it would appear.
One of the mini-clusters in San Jose was a nurse who travelled to Las Vegas in March, got infected, came back, and got other nurses infected, creating a small cluster.

I was actually surprised that the uptick in Nevada took off slower than I expected, but when I think about the modes of infection, it makes sense. Waitresses don’t touch the slot machine lever, the next player does. The managers aren’t the ones in prolonged proximity to an infected roulette player, the other gamblers are. The calculus might be visitors will come in, spend their money, infect other gamblers, who all fly back to their communities, but the infection in the Vegas community may be relatively smaller, and surprise surprise, concentrated among people like blackjack dealers making minimum wage. They probably know this will be the case — in fact they’re betting on it.

Given that city's dependence on senior citizens, I'm surprised to see it open so early.

The mayor is 81. I think she's taken to heart the TX Lt. Gov's argument that it's worth dying to get companies operating again.
