I decided I will venture out to the casino only after there are zero new covid-19 cases for a period of 2 weeks within a 200 mile radius of the casino.
Right now that doesn't look every good for going back very soon. The Marquette area in the U.P. is exploding right now with 21 cases and two deaths. However, at some point it is going to stop. I might have a long wait.

I’m thinking you’re just going to have to wait until you are vaccinated if those are your parameters. I don’t see you meeting your parameters before a vaccine is available.Originally Posted by Midwest Player
As for myself, I’m hoping I get an antibody test someday soon and find out I’ve already had it. Then I’m free to go about my life again.
There are only 50 cases in the entire U.P. and it looks like we already passed the peak. It is very possible in another couple of weeks no more cases will be reported. Most of the cases in the U.P. are in the Marquette area as it got in a nursing home. It looks like right now there is about one case per day in the U.P.
I will have to monitor northern WI for a while. It is liable to hang around there longer the the U.P. Here is link to daily cases in MI and Region 8 is the entire U.P. I believe, "unknown" on the chart is the prison system for the state.

The administration relaxed the FDA rules for certification. As a result, there are a flood of antibody tests coming out, mostly from China. Tests by independent labs show a very large percentage of false positives. That makes it very dangerous to rely on this test. You might think you're immune when you aren't. People you run into may also believe they are immune when they are carriers.

A big problem we have in the UK. The vast majority of the population, including those who work in the health service and care profession, have not been tested and so it's likely that a great many people are carriers and will simply act as transmitters when they start to move around again. Also, in the UK the fatality stats are fundimentally flawed as they haven't included all of the residents of care homes etc who, most probably, have died as a result of contracting the virus but who weren't tested and so it couldn't be determined for sure that the virus was the cause. This has now become somewhat of a scandal, and the debate is now around what multiplier to apply to the official fatality numbers.

Glad to hear the British PM recovered…no doubt he had the best of care. I was sad about Tim Brooke Taylor OBE as I enjoyed watching The Goodies years ago.
One of the main problems in the UK, Europe and especially the US is the large numbers of people in the urban areas which makes social isolation very difficult. So it spreads like wildfire with large numbers of asymptomatic carriers that claim the old and weak along with the occasional younger healthy person.
In Australia, we have relatively low numbers of infections with only 61 dead at the time of writing. Even with a multiplier on those official numbers we are doing better than most. Most people are locked down, unemployment is up, the children and university students are learning online and any form of non-essential travel is banned here and abroad. All this after devastating bush fires last summer.
The good news is the isolation measures are working but it’s impossible to know how long this pandemic will last and whether or not it will return. Let’s hope an effective vaccine is found soon.

Yes, let's hope so.
Can't speak for other countries but in the UK I think there's more to the spread of the virus and and the resultant fatality rates than simply it being due to the concentrations of people in the metropolitan areas. In the UK, we had limited facilities to carry out testing, were late at understanding just how important it is to identify those who are carriers, there were too many holes in the infection control protocols (apparently if you got off a plane at Heathrow from RPC you could walk straight through customs and out without any health checks) and a small but sizeable proportion of the Great British public just don't get the isolation thing. In South Korea the infection and fatality rates are far lower than in most of the countries in Western Europe and you have to ask why?

This Asia Times article answers your question...https://asiatimes.com/2020/04/confuc...-covid-19-war/
I've read something similar somewhere else. Although there are clear differences in culture and approach, I'm afraid I don't agree with all of it. To suggest that older people in Italy and Spain were allowed to become victims in favour of the younger generations, due to EU policies, is frankly insulting.

Supermarkets have become the new nightclubs here. Just went shopping. Lines on the pavement every six feet where you stay until the doorman lets you in. All that's missing is the velvet rope. Inside, the aisles are one-way, with arrows on the floor.
Hard to see how a casino could be this limiting.

Same with my weekly trip out to a supermarket this morning. Don't you dare forget something at the beginning of the store . . . got a bollocking for going back for something. We should have had the supermarket ladies running the whole show nationally from the very beginning!
