Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman told CNN that she offered the citizens of her city as “control group” to see how many people die of the coronavirus without social distancing.
Said Goodman: “We would love to be that placebo!”
Jon Ralston: “I have seen many Nevada officials stumble on national TV. But that was the single most embarrassing thing I have seen by a Nevada pol in 35 years here. The mayor just showed the country she is unfit for office, and the commentary and shock and disgust here bears that out. My God.”
