I know America too well. If the cases rise the second time after the economy reopens the feds won't do anything this time because stocks are recovering but the economy is falling. All they have to do next time is inject 10 trillion dollars into the market and it will go up. Then ignore the new cases.

If you're so confident that "the feds" (aka: DJT/Republicans) are going to ensure the market will be a winner, then you should stop playing blackjack and invest your entire bankroll in the market...it would be the ultimate AP play...a guaranteed win. If you don't, then you are a political hack trying perform a smear job. I'm not saying you're wrong, I DID invest my entire bankroll in the market for precisely the same reason, but I did not attempt to politically smear anyone over it.

And before you try to deny it, you know any legistation passed in the House (controlled by Democrats), also has to pass the Senate (controlled by Republicans), and must be signed off on by the President (DJT...a Republican)...it goes nowhere without Republican approval.

@ Norm: Go back and take a closer look at some of seriousplayers' posts, how are some of them not political? If you don't take some corrective action, then you no longer have any credibility regarding non-political posts.

Wave, I would like to touch on the generalized handling "not the validity of seriousplayers posts" of what is considered political or nonpolitical on this site. All I know is that I have seen far too often certain controversial posts remain up for far too long. If called upon you will hear the reply from Norm, I do not read all the posts written, as I do not have the time. Understandable of course, but, I will never understand the inconsistency displayed in the handling of posts that are in fact read by Norm.

Well, at least his inconsistency is consistent.

The UP may be big geographically. It is sparse in terms of population. The UP is not in any way, indicative of the virus in the rest of the country.

If they opened tomorrow, no I wouldn't go. I guess I'd have to wait until the bodies stop piling up. I'm safely tucked away in my jungle lair for the time being.

You could shack up with Aunt Libby for a while...there are probably not to many cases in Wagon Mound, New Mexico.

It is not tough for me. Las Vegas is junk anyways with all there 6 to 5 Blackjack they rather have empty tables. These casino dogs are extremely stubborn so I doubt gaming conditions would get anything better. Most definitely they are not going to bring back 3 to 2 single deck blackjack with favorable rules. If I would be surprised!

If you are fat and obese and have health issues you should stay away. But if you are not you should get in line. 85% of the people that have died have conditions. The way the death count has been reported anyone you dies it is COVID 19 related. The death count to COVID is not accurate.

**Norm** · 05-03-2020, 01:28 PM

Please, no conspiracy nonsense.

The death count looks made up but it seems about right. The coronavirus case count is 1184711. The Fed estimated that there will be 100,000 deaths. 100,000 is less than 8% of the total case count in the United States. Right now the death count is around 28%. The world death count is 18% so 100,000 from that number does seem optimistic.

No idea where you're getting your numbers. U.S. deaths are 5.76% of the number of cases. Worldwide, it's 7.05%. What ARE you thinking?

Death count might be right but did they all die from Covid 19? Anyone that died in a nursing home I am pretty sure that death certificate was stamped COVID 19. In the early stages they did not even have testing so if you died it was COVID19. How could that be?
