Are you so addicted to casinos that you have the craving to search for ANY gambling-related story?

Perhaps it was a different name... I forget.
AndrewG refuses to say he is or isn't MendleBread.
For me it is a 99% chance that he is Alan.
I can't go 100% like Singer.
Have to leave some room for error.
Current assumptions are that a good chunk, possibly more than half of transmission of the virus occurs from asymptomatic people. This would mean that the thermal cameras, while useful in that they might reduce infected individuals on property by half, would of course fail to detect the other half who are asymptomatic. While catching half of those who are contagious is useful, what does cutting number of infected on property by half really mean?
It's a nice loud public relations move, certainly. It makes properties safer, but it surely doesn't make them safe. It does eliminate the obvious hacking, coughing seriously ill, so that may help Wynn customers relax a bit. Relaxation, however, doesn't solve the core problem. The virus hides in asymptomatic people.

Since I was tipped off by a neighbor about the Wynn plan on their website lots of other media picked up on it as well within about thirty minutes. It wasn't a secret.
You should read the entire plan. Wynn wants everyone to wear a mask and to sanitize their hands before they can enter. They even have a plan to reopen their poker room. The "media" didn't pick up on that nugget yet.
You really have it out for this Mr Alan. In case you're wondering Bloomberg, CBS, Fox and about a dozen other news companies also had the story within minutes. If you stopped looking for gotchas (thank you Mr Coach Belly for the term) you might see what's really being discussed in the world instead of repeating your own diarrhea.
Haven't seen anything from Mr Kewlj and I hope he's okay.
I get better info about the casinos on the websites of the local TV stations than I do here. You people know shit. But you sure know how to throw shit around.
AndrewG, you bring up a valid point that I’ve been reading about. One of the key parts of the plan when casinos open is to require everyone (employees and customers) to wear masks. This will stop the spread, no matter what your situation is with the virus.Quote:

Casinos workers will actually be safer than a hospital workers since in hospitals it’s mostly just the health care workers that wear the mask. The infected patient doesn’t wear masks since they need to eat, drink, take medicine, etc.
It sounds like Wynn (and I’m sure other casinos will do the same thing) have plans for a very safe environment for both their workers and customers when they open.

Yes I understand the absolute fear he is going through at the mere thought of casinos never re-opening. And yes, I fully understand his need to make believe he's completely surrounded by casino industry employees where he lives. Yes....even though casinos have ripped the life right out of him over the years, he is resilient in his ultra-fascination with them.
But life goes on alan. If you miss posting here that much just say so. Who in this bunch has any right to begrudge you for it? It's just uncomfortable for me to have to watch this.

I was attempting to give correct information.
Boz, I don't know your info sources, but you should re-check. It's been obvious since I mentioned it in my initial blog post on this (March 14, I think) that asymptomatic people were a big part of the transmission equation, based on the otherwise inexplicable transmission rates in Iran and Italy. If you're just discovering this, your info sources are seriously out of date. It had to be either asymptomatic transmission or airborne. https://theskepticalgambler.blogspot...ronavirus.html
The fascinating aspect of this is that someone usually reasonable like Boz ignores the accuracy of the information and assigns a personal motive (fear) for my reporting accurate information and having been correct each step of the way. There's a decent chance, first of all, that I've already had it, but I can't get an antibodies test here in Tennessee.
If I have not yet had it, I'm personally better off if everyone goes out and does what they want and as many people as possible get ill ASAP in the months ahead. That creates the fastest way for herd immunity to be established and would be the most convenient chain of events. My older relatives are all pretty much dead, so I'm not likely to give it to anyone family-wise. By Boz's reasoning, I should be relieved that Americans are being irresponsible. But that will mean tens of thousands of additional Americans will get ill and thousands will die, maybe tens of thousands. So, even though that's the most convenient chain of events for me, I'm not going to root for what's personally most convenient. I'm not some child at recess needing my Wal-Mart, sports pub, and trip to Dollywood.
The numbers, Boz, have not been "dropping by the day." That's what the model the White House is using predicts, but that is not what has happened. Check the Johns Hopkins coronavirus mapping. Florida opens their beaches back up, and their peak isn't for another two weeks, at the earliest. Protestors in Pennsylvania have a new slogan, "Jesus is my vaccine." Good luck with that.
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
You have three countries not following protocols that other nations have followed. The UK, Sweden, and the U.S. The UK and U.S. are doing miserably. Sweden is up to bat.
That 60K deaths by August 4th model not only uses an artificial for-no-good-reason cutoff date, it's going to be wrong. That model assumes stay-in-place orders up until that August 4th date. So that has been blown to hell. It was going to be wrong, anyway. The virus will not be going on vacation August 4th, for those who are curious as to why that model is being quoted. And Boz, I was following the Stanford stuff weeks ago. You don't even understand the context. The "oh my God, it's much more widespread, this is great" headlines are a direct result of the comparison to the preliminary hard-to-believe low results, which I mentioned on this forum were so low I thought they had to be wrong. The recent Stanford results were many times the preliminary, but still really at the low end of what was expected a month ago. You're talking 5% penetration right now. The original projections were that California (and Stanford was testing Santa Clara) would be 50% plus penetration by the end of the year.
Nonsense red. All that blustery "biblical" and "consequences" talk, and now you're afraid of your own shadow? And what's with your fascination with the latest word-of-the-day: asymptomatic....we gonna get a steady diet of that one now that you're tired of using "crickets"?
What are the odds that you posted the information about Wynn on VCT at almost the same time that Alan posted the information on twitter?Quote:

e) Dealers to sanitize in table rating units each time they enter a game
f) Dealers to sanitize toke boxes
g) Chip sanitation solutions being reviewed – pending expert guidance
Physical Distancing Protocol
a) Every other table open and tables to be staggered
b) Maximum seating to be established based on expert guidance
c) Dealers to verbally give breaks instead of “tapping in” and maintain appropriate
separation
Guest Considerations
a) Guests will be reminded to sanitize their hands prior to the start of play
b) Food service protocols to be reviewed
Perhaps Mr Mickeycrimm you would like to message Mr Alan on Twitter and mention this to him if it's not on his Twitter account. Maybe you'd also check to see if it's on his website. I see he has a link to that on his Twitter post.
Keep the allegations coming. They're fun to read.
By the way I won't be going to casinos if I can't go with my honey, sitting next to her playing video poker, and standing next to her at craps. What fun is that?
I think only APs and professional players and addicted gamblers will return to casinos under these conditions. These conditions do not set up anything that's "fun."
As they say on Shark Tank... I'm out.
It ain't worth the risk for my $15 of free play.
Alan you're serving up more denials than kew.
Here's how everybody but tasha knows you are using a stupid sock: several times I've explained that you're a degenerate gambler, obviously, it's cost you five marriages, and you shamelessly turned your son into the same kind of gambling addict that you are and have been for a long long time. And when I say these things you come back with a bevy of vulgarity, confirming my having hit a very sensitive nerve every time.
Now why would "AndrewG" react like that if he's not you....what would he care?
Game, set, match....and snatch.
P.S.....don't marry and ruin another lady's life. The casinos will be open soon. Better dump her so you can go straight to the action!

What exactly concerns you, monet? Virtually every other government has protocols in place (with the exception of the UK, which was slow and paying the price, and Sweden). Virtually every other government expect its economy to handle the 12-18 months of the worst of this. But you don't think the U.S. can hunker down and survive economically? Because why? The U.S. is more vulnerable than Italy, or Spain, or Germany, or New Zealand? Really? We need to get those minimum-wage front-liners working so we can start back up for what reason exactly? If Italy can do it, if Germany can do it, why are you arguing that the U.S. economy is so weak?

How many TRILLIONS more do you want this country to go into debt for to save some lives that already have 1 foot in the grave? I thought at first some people were just being cautious but now I realize they are lunatics. And like you, have a political agenda here. You, Pelosi and other left wing nuts see opportunities to push an agenda. Nothing more.
I still wish I could get the antibodies test as I think I probably had it. But if not, I have no issue getting it and moving forward. For someone that is happy with a 1% edge, I have no issue playing with a 99% edge.
Shutting down the country for this was stupid and I blame politicians in both parties. I look forward to laughing about the hoax this was for 99.9% of Americans who will survive this and get the T-Shirt.
America still is the land of the free and home of the brave to me. Not the land of pussies afraid of the Boogeyman.
Boz, if these turds were Presidents of the United States on December 7, 1941, they would have rather surrender to the Japanese than risk any more lives. That’s their mindset. Apply that purell while they wring their hands

These people aren't exactly lunatics.
They have an agenda they have been pushing for 20 years or more now.
The truth is that these people are constantly winning the war and gaining ground.
They have basically indoctrinated enough of the youth to insure they will completely take over.
Talk to someone that is 15 to 25 years old these days and the majority of that demographic has beliefs and ideas that will make your head spin.
Some of it is Nazism or Communism in disguise.
Even many people who say or think they are Conservatives are actually very Liberal when you dig a little deeper.
It isn't their fault as Liberalism has invaded every aspect of our daily lives and most of us sold out long ago.

Redietz for some reason you have failed to answer my earlier question. Are you willing to give up driving to save 40K lives per year in U.S?Quote:

How do you intend to stop the riots as people get fed up with the quarantine? Would you send in the National Guard? Do you condone killing protesters to protect yourself from the virus?
Surely you know there is a direct correlation between poverty and death rates.
So you really think Bartenders and waiters make minimum wage? I made 30K a year bartending back in the eighties. For your info that is about 35 years ago. I think Boz made the comment sometime back that his employee's made about $20 an hour.
And you don't seem to have anything to say about small business....only the proletariot....eh, comrade?
They're very selective about when to apply the law and when to look the other way. For example state lotteries are apparently essential businesses, but dentists aren't. Then there's the fact that every single person is pretty much breaking the law anytime they throw something away (especially used disposable face masks dropped into a public trash can or even the trash can at home):"Improper disposal of a biohazard". Throwing a biohazard away is just fine with the Nazis as long as people do it at their residence under quarantine or in public so long as they chase it with another disposable mask placed on one's face right after the other biohazard is thrown out right then and there in an open container (trash can). Another explanation is simply that the virus is just a great excuse to take away liberties and to try and prevent a certain someone from getting re-elected since the impeachment/Russian hoax shit didn't work. I mean, how the fuck else could one explain all the holes,paradoxes and inconsistencies in the way these new health precautionary measures are being applied.Quote:

Perhaps Advantage players who have enough to sustain for a while can look on the bright side since there will be less competition once the casinos are back in action.
P.S. are there any good pics right now?
This right here tells you everything you need to know about redietz. Just minimum wage workers are affected? Look at all the small businesses that are wiped out right now. Just look at one segment. All the bars and restaurants in the country are shut down right now. How many small business people does that represent? You ignore a lot comrade redietz.Quote:

3 to 4 million is the total number of deaths due to diamond mining.
15% of Sierra Leone's produced diamonds are blood diamonds.
$0.07 is the average pay per blood diamond miner per day.
Nobody shutting down the world economy for a few million people dying so they can buy diamond rings.
Did you know that 420,000 people die per year from Foodborne Diseases??
It's an endless rabbit hole.
They better open up the country before it is too late.
Of course that doesn't fit their plan or agenda.
I would imagine the world economy has a big effect on how many people starve every year.Quote:

Also if someone has died and has tested positive for Covid-19, it should be reported as a Covid-19 death (I think this has already been posted somehwere on VCT a few days ago).
Here is a highlight from the article related to item 2 above:
"White House COVID-19 task for member Dr. Deborah Birx has confirmed it is now standard practice to count all death of persons "with" COVID-19 as deaths caused by COVID-19. "
No doubt the virus is nasty, but as many people have pointed out, shutting down the world economy will lead to way more deaths.
The sick part is that about half of America is falling for this hook, line and sinker.
They are convinced that it isn't safe to go outside or open up.
They are begging for Armed Lock Downs and Regulations... In America!?
Trump takes a ton of heat but he knows we have to open up and take our chances.
If Hilary was in office we would be doomed.
Even with Trump's push back we still might not escape losing our little Freedom that we have.
