    Have you returned to pre-Covid level of play?

    Here I am, not having played BJ in 9+ months, shoebox open, $75k laid out on my dining table, wondering if I should just apply it to other stuff since I have not taken flights or long road trips, news today showing a rise in Covid numbers in my state and the region, does not look like it will ever go back to normal. As a recreational player, did not mind risking some dollars but at my age, I will be risking life.

    I should start a poll but dont know how so I will just ask.

    Have you resumed playing BJ like you did pre-Covid or what percentage of pre-Covid BJ is it ((50% of what you used to, 75%, 25%, 10% etc).

    Have you resumed taking trips? Flights or car trips?

    Care to share? Thanks.

    I have not returned to work yet. My local shops are open and I considered heading back a few times last month, but there has also been a rise in cases in this area so I'm still home. I'm not sure why one would return and not be 100%, though: what would be your reasons for 25% of pre-Covid BJ?

    Possible answer: to lower the probability of dying.

    I am at zero percent risk of dying thru casino visits right now. Given that I have some risk factors (mild asthma, mild diabetes, mild hypertension), wonder what my risk would be to fly just one round trip, stay 3 nights in a casino hotel, play 25 sessions of one hour each at 10 casinos and return home.

    Right now, I play zero percent of my pre Covid levels of play.

    He said "thru casino visits." If he doesn't go, it's zero.

    He didn't state that he is " at zero risk of getting the China Virus."
    He said that he is "at zero percent risk of dying thru casino visits right now."

    You guys skipped the main OP. Are you back to the pre-Covid hours you put into BJ? If not, what percentage of pre-Covid BJ are you up to now?

    Maybe it helps decide where all of us members are as to playing BJ.

    Set up a poll, so results are summarized in one place and anonymous. If you don't know how, learn. It's not hard.

    How do I create a new poll?


    When you post a new thread, you may also have the option to create a poll.


    This allows you to ask a question and specify a number of possible responses. Other members will then be able to vote for the response they wish, and the results of the voting will be displayed in the thread.


    An example poll might be:


    What is your favorite color?


    Red
    Blue
    Yellow
    Green
    Sky-blue
    Pink with yellow spots
    To create a poll when you post a new thread, simply click the 'Yes, post a poll with this thread' checkbox at the bottom of the page, and set the number of possible responses you want to include.


    When you click the submit button, you will be taken to the poll creation page, where you can specify the question and the list of responses you want to include.


    You may also want to specify a time limit for the poll, so that (for example) it stays open for voting for only a week.

    Ah. When thinking of percentages in the context of bj, my mind immediately went to percentage of base unit, not the number of trips/potential exposure.
