    Casinos should not have been reopened when they were.

    LV Bear, are you saying they opened too early? Or they shouldn't have opened at all yet? Even with their health practices in place now? (not early June)

    It took a COVID test recently and it took TWO WEEKS to get the results back, the processing was delayed since I wasn’t in the “priority 1” category (they will process all of those first even if it was taken well after yours). Increased testing capacity does little good if they can’t be PROCESSED in a reasonable timeframe, by the time my results came back I likely would have been clear anyway even if I had been positive.

    I don't think they are testing unless you have symptoms or are exposed and need to test. Which means if you were positive, though, without results for two weeks, you would be exposing other folks unless you self quarantined. But personally, with mild symptoms, you COULD be over it in two weeks although from what I read, incubation time and then healing would MORE LIKELY be bit longer than two weeks. This stuff is ludicrous. I think cases are trending toward milder now or less hospitalizations. But everyone is ALL OVER THE BOARD ON HOW TO HANDLE THE Virus.

    I had relatives that went to a restaurant. Right after they ate there, they found out a worker had tested positive and the restaurant closed down for two weeks as soon as it found out. My relatives went to test because their son would not let them see their grandbaby until they came back negative. They did test negative but this is NOW OUR WORLD! It sucks! Surely this gets better in the near future!!!

    NYC claims 3-5 days to get results for Covid, and 24 hours for Covid antibody tests. Don't know if this is true. There is always a line a block from me.

    I don't think they should be open at all yet. The so-called health practices are mostly a dog-and-pony show.

    People should ask themselves why can't they get COVID-19? My way of thinking is the more they party the more people is going to get infected. That's how it works.

    This is the consequence for neglecting the COVID-19, thought that was it a small issue, and don't want to spend much time on it at first:

    "Victoria's Secret declared bankruptcy. Zara closed 1,200 stores. Chanel, Hermes and Rolex have stopped production. Nike is getting ready for stage two of layoffs. AirBnb founder says that due to the pandemic, 12 years of effort were destroyed in 6 weeks.

    Starbucks announced the permanent closure of 400 stores. Dunkin Donuts just closed 800.
    And the list continues...

    In view of an estimated 29,000 corporate bankruptcies expected if the economic fallout of the virus crisis is not mitigated, Germany has adopted sweeping changes to its insolvency law, including suspending the obligation to file for bankruptcy.

    Six months since the pandemic started and it has created huge debts, many of our friends are out of work and unemployed with tens of thousands of businesses now out of service.

    If the company you work for continues, no pay reduction or layoffs then treat it well and have respect for the company. Even if pay cut is there, respect because it is abnormal situation."

    All this is because Americans thought the COVID-19 was a small issue at first and don't want to spend the time to deal with it.

    No matter how it sounds, thanks to COVID, I started playing online poker, I never could have thought that playing with a computer would bring me so much pleasure and, of course, not only pleasure. For me, poker has always been and is, something special, one might say ritual, every Friday passed as a significant day of the week, we were all looking forward to this day, so to speak, to sacrifice our money to the card gods, but if we will do everything right, according to their rules, then the gods can become generous and answer us with a generous coin. Now, of course, we see each other less often, but the alternative to online poker suits everyone. Of course, this spirit has disappeared, a circle of friends for merry conversations with a beer in tobacco smoke, but what can you do, everything changes, and with time we do.
