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

Covid 9 only happened to you. Not all of us.

I don't have the COVID-19.

Just when I got my Global Entry

I renewed Global Entry last year for my second, five year term. It IS nice. They even accepted in in New Zealand when I was there!

DARN! Just when I got my Global Entry the COVID-9 happened. Didn't get to enjoy the full benefit of what the program have to offer until US reopen. I need a rest from the growing long lines 4:00 AM in the morning. At these times Global Entry will do, until I can afford myself a "G700 GulfStream Jet".

don't worry. there are no long tsa lines these days.

Getting back on track with the original ? - yes I will go back as soon as they open assuming I have the time. I wouldn't want to miss any COVID countermeasures that generate an AP opportunity. I rather like the idea that a mask can help conceal identify and wont look odd in the casino for a long while. Also believe that, as someone in not in a high risk category, that it is a reasonable risk. Others may look at it differently. For now let the games begin!

Tunica casinos open this week, May 21.

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

I need to check and see if Aunt Libby hasn't died of COVID-19, and if she has, if her last words were, "A/5 rules... You suck..."

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?

Don

It's disappointing to see something like this posted by Don. Really?
You have to know the total number of people infected...before you can even speculate what the real "death rate" might be.

He was replying to specific available stats.

not saying you, but a lot of people are pointing to the probability of a much lower death rate as a really good sign

but they ignore the flip side - if there is a lot lower death because a great many more are infected that means that the greater number of those infected are highly likely to infect many more than if the quoted death rate was accurate

if the death rate is as Don says - 5.76% in the U.S. - referring to known cases

but there are 5 times as many infected as known cases that would mean the death rate is only 1.152%

some people are pointing to that to say that the lower death rate is a really good sign

but actually all it means is there are a great many more people capable of infecting others - so it's not at all a good sign

Sheeeet! This stuff is more difficult than calculating True Count..

I don’t follow that logic. Wouldn’t it just mean we would just be farther along than we think we are in a process we’re inevitably getting to the same point anyway (assuming minimum 1+ yr for effective vaccine) with a lower death rate? If it’s going to take as long as they think the total amount projected to be infected is more or less the same, just with a difference in timeline and giving potential for better outcomes for the infections with it more spaced out also giving more time to learn more about the disease about effective treatments.

yes it is because basically all of the people who didn't know they had it because they never got sick from it. that would be great. it would mean it's way less bad than we're worried about.

a lot more people having something that is only 20 percent as bad as you thought and in many cases harmless, is way better than it being just as bad as you think, highly contagious with tons of people having not got it yet who likely will.

now if for example they discovered that anyone who got it, whether they got sick from it or not would eventually have their lungs destroyed from it then you would be correct.

Norman, please add on Option#9 in your survey: I will gamble in a casino as soon as I can buy some N-95-face-masks and wear it to protect myself against Covid-19.

Researchers say that wearing a face mask can reduce the risk of catching the Covid-19 by 75%.
I believe that SC, his auntie, & his mother might not catch Covid-19 if they did wear a N-95 face mask.

Not my survey.
