Poll: After Casinos Open How Long Will You Wait Before You Go

**Midwest Player** · 04-07-2020, 12:29 PM

Lets assume the casinos open June 1st. Will you start going to the casinos right away or wait for a period of time.

This poll does not disclose your handle.

I can't answer that at this point. I'll make a determination when we have more information at the time.

Hi Sammy - long time. I will go back after there is a vaccine. But for the poker tables.

Sammy, and Maverick it is good to see two long time veterans return from Wong's site. Let's see if my memory is right, Sammy and Freightman used to be involved in heated discussions among others regarding the worth of different variations of AP play. Maverick was a fierce competitor to say the least on the political page, who I think was also a super delegate, in a large state.

I also will go back after they have a vaccine.

A vaccine? It going to be a long time before a vaccine for the COVID-19. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) vaccine haven't even been developed yet and it is a coronavirus. There is better chance of finding a treatment than a vaccine (maybe Gilead's Remdesivir would help)

Hopefully we'll have one in the first half of next year.

This is a good read on the Covid19 vaccine outlook:

As for me, I *might* go back to redeem some generous free play offers if they're infrequent, don't involve air travel, and are valuable enough.

I won't go back for table games until there's a vaccine or a very reliable treatment. Remdesivir seems to help a bit, but it's not enough; kind of like taking Tamiflu for the flu.

The Moderna vaccine discovery sound like a fake. How do they claim they found a potential vaccine when there is no clear data? These are supposed to be smart people. Shouldn't they looking at the data to make sure that it is definite before declaring?

Maybe they are smarter than we think. After they announced the news all the top executives sold their stock.

A vaccine is were we will most likely see results against SARS-CoV-2.

As for Remdesivir, I am not aware of its effects as a PrEP against SARS-CoV-2. As for selectively targeting SARS-CoV-2, the current given research outlined on the Remdesivir wiki suggests that the molecule may reduce the duration of illness by a few day. No data found to suggest that it offers a cure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remdesivir

Also, it is currently being delivered by way of shots.

From what I gathered (as to pertain to the SARS vaccine,) is that SARS-CoV-1 killed off its hosts too quickly for it to mount a successful pandemic and a candidate vaccine was not a product in dire need. Now, with SARS-CoV-2...that's a different story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_vaccine

Give a short summary of specifics of a theoretical vaccine(s) against SARS-CoV-2, with link descriptions on how specific therapies are to work as well as their limitations.

tl;dr : buckle up. We may be in for a long ride here! Little blackjack is to be had, I'm afraid.

Hi BoSox, it's been a while. You must have me confused with someone else WRT heated discussions with Freightman. I remember MoldedTruths having heated discussions with FM. :-)

BTW, you guys may be waiting a long time for a vaccine.

Hello Sammy, yes you are right a lot of time has passed, it was MolderTruths involved in that as I remember that, most of it is all a distant memory to me now. Anyway hope you are doing well health wise as that is most important.

I know it will be a while before that vaccine is available, I am just going to wait it out. If you go right back be safe.
