Not according to this guy.

The article ignores the Californians that drive to Vegas. For interstate highway that is in the middle of nowhere I-15 between southern Cali and Vegas is probably the busiest stretch there is.
I was figuring the casino industry would be lobbying hard for a May 1 opening. That is when the Governors current stay at home order expires and also the date that some casinos are now accepting hotel reservations for. But in conflict with that date Stations casinos announced yesterday that they were paying employees through May 15.
https://www.bestuscasinos.org/news/s...ough-may-15th/
Really casinos, especially the strip and Fremont street where people are on top of each other, should be about the last businesses to open, along with sporting events, concerts, and places like Disneyworld. They should just try opening some restaurants and shops first and see how that goes.
So last night I read an article where a doctor at Stanford was suggesting that the Virus may have come to California, much earlier than thought, late last year, when California experienced a spike in flu related deaths. Since the was no coronavirus testing he is speculating that those deaths may have coronavirus rather than the flu. And if that was the case, he was suggesting that we may be further along with "herd immunity" than thought and could open things up and get back to normal.
This morning I turn on the news and first story I see says California may remain in lockdown until mid-June. :confused:
I don't know when we are coming out of this. :(
You know damn well the libbies will do everything they can do to ensure we don’t open up until November. Party before country, economy be damned.
Since this virus is not a whole lot different than the flu which many more people get, I expect to see casinos open around May 1st. The owners and management are on the sleazy side but they're not stupid. Now that they know the stimulus deposits and checks will be in the sweaty hands of the majority of Americans sometime next week, the bosses are right on top of this. They know every local addict, every California problem gambler, and every troubled lower-income socially distraught going nowhere loser is chomping at the bit to get back at it, and they will not let people just go out and "buy stuff" with this free cash.
Stimulus checks not needed by 70-80% of the public still working. Stimulus checks that will cost younger Americans many times over in higher interest rates on our increasing debt.
The stimulus checks were a stupid idea and as Rob said, will be wasted by a majority of Americans. A year from now we will still be hearing about the high percentage of Americans who don’t have $400 saved for an emergency. But they certainly can afford Starbucks, Cigarettes or Weed, a $200 a month cell phone plan and the newest whatever.
They certainly won’t put the money in a savings account. And don’t get me started on the extra $600 in UC benefits some people will get that will only encourage them not to go back to work.
Except that it was the republican senate and the republican Senate majority leader specifically that wrote that into the bill. This wasn't even one of the things the Dems negotiated in..... so what a stupid thing to say.
It's funny, how many times have you told us how much you make in retirement income and it was well above the limits to receive the $1200 checks ($75k per person). And that would be before you even added in all your investment income from your millions in the bank and investments from all your claims, like the double up bug. So for years you have been saying one thing and now all of the sudden you are eligible for the stimulus check. Typical Singer, caught in his own web. :rolleyes:
I hope you do get the checks Rob as well as some sort of bump in food stamps, because despite all your claims, I suspect you can use the money. Maybe if you get the checks, you could even be a sport and kick in a few bucks to your daughter towards the electricity and internet that you steal. ;)
Always looking for a way to prove others wrong KJ. With no clue of Rob’s finances, I would assume much of it is RETIREMENT accounts that he changed into Roth IRA’s. They are not taxable and would not contribute to his income. As for the rest of his assets, how many of them do you think create taxable income.
If he had $5 million in cash holdings in such as CD’s, they would have generated around $75k at the top rates available. Add in a wife and he could earn $150k a year and still qualify for the full stimulus. Smart retirees have good accountants to limit their taxable income legally.
Again no clue how Rob manages his investments but if he has a good accountant, the numbers seem fine and certainly don’t show he is broke and on Food Stamps.
Sometimes you let your hatred overcome common sense.
Boz, I don't have a hatred for anyone and that includes the person posting as Rob Singer. I hate the nasty hurtful things he says to many but I don't hate the person.
I have no idea what Robs finances are, and can only go by what he has told us. I am not going to go back and find it but he has claimed to receive the top social security amount and a significant pension and that his wife also received top SS and a substantial pension that would disqualify them from these stimulus checks. Now all of the sudden, as frequently occurs with Rob, that has changed his story to his benefit. :D
I really don't care what Rob's finances are. I hope he had a high paying job and now has significant retirement income as he sometimes claims. And that would explain why he was able to gamble, negative EV, losing gambling and be comfortable losing that money. That is actually what I suspect. Nothing wrong with that. That was basically Alans story after retirement and I never faulted him for that. If you have a good retirement money and can afford to play -EV and lose and you find that enjoyable...power to you. I just don't like Rob's ever changing storylines.
And BTW Boz, I can already see Rob working on his next claim. He is going to claim that he applied for the business loan part of the relief aid package, as a professional gambler. He has already laid the groundwork saying "any smart gambler would figure a way around this". Maybe I am cursed in that I can see what this guy is scheming while he is still scheming. :(
There's no "changing storylines" kew--you re-arrange everything to fit your twisted narratives. Just like Don Lemon. Wife and I both earn close to $5k/mo. each in SS + Pensions, and we're very smart with our retirement accounts. There's a number of personal things going on with them, which a low-level day-to-day hustler like you would never comprehend. And you never will, as most "children of Obama" never would.
Here is the thing Rob: your trolling, which I guess as a bitter old man with nothing else to do, is your entertainment. It is all you have left in life to make yourself relevant. But you piss so many people off, people long before I came along, people like Arci and many more before him I am sure, that knowing your real name, people look you up. Arci did. I did. I think Max Pen did. I don't know about Redietz. Probably some others.
THREE dollars! That is what it costs to find out who you really are and put your story together and confirm that your story is not what you claim. $3! lol. Ya know what is included in that report? estimated net worth. :rolleyes: Yeah it is an estimate. They don't have it down to the dollar. But they are not off by millions, which they would have to be. Not one thing from your reports meshes with your "stories" Rob. I know it. You know it. I suspect most people on this and every forum you have ever been on know it. Some people want to back you for whatever unrelated reason, but everyone knows the truth. It's just a game you are playing. You aren't fooling anyone. :cool:
Apparently, SOMEBODY definitely really cared what Rob's finances were. According to all the stuff that's been posted on here, that seems very very apparent. From what I can remember everything except his 9" cock has been "confirmed".
kewlJ must be feeling better after he just beat the Chink Virus and Heart Failure/Surgery??
Perhaps it is all that MendleBread he has been eating from Hitlers Recipe!?
I was reading something awhile back that kewlJ actually faked his own death on these boards lol???
Beat death twice now it appears!!
Discover the Rainbow...
Taste the Rainbow I suppose.

I am feeling ok Monet. Just a bit fatigued today. I keep falling a sleep in the recliner when watching TV. That and a slight fever is all I have left. I am sorry your prayers for my demise weren't answered. ;)
Also I have survived 2 different heart surgeries, once in 2011 and again in 2017, so get it right. So never thought I was going to die either time and certainly didn't from this little virus. A bit of uncertainty at the most. But then again, I am healthy. You take someone like Rob who is ancient or yourself at 400 lbs, probably diabetic with heart issues and you could be a goner. So I will pray that you don't get it. :)
You have to be Don Lemon!
Here's da thang kew: are you so inexperienced in how the world works that you believe retirement accounts are part of whatever you get for 3 bucks!
You also continually don't want it to be that I was a professional gambler and filed as one for ten years. But you certainly go thru all types of gyrations trying to convince everybody of the lie that YOU are one....when you're nothing more than a waiter.
Most, however, prefer to see your explanations of how you, mommy and baby bro were forced out of that house you lived in once the sugar daddy croaked. Go ahead, splain it. :)
I also know you go out of your mind when others praise Trump. Most crossed-wired poo poo's do!
2 heart surgeries AND infected blood?:) Along with a fever? Hahaha!! (and no meaningful future unless you count showing baby bro how to give hand jobs....)
Like I've told you kew, I'll definitely be around long enuf to spit on your grave.
Wait!---kew faked his own death? You mean he has such a do-nothing/been nowhere/no future life that he's gone thru the suicide thing?
Not surprising, being how confidence-lacking and weak a person he seems to be.
BUT WE CAN STILL HOPE!
Hey kew---if it ever gets THAT bad again (and with peoplelike you, it always does) just give me a call. I'll offer you all the encouragement you need so you don't add that failure to your irrelevant life!!
Not a chance in hell old man. You are ancient. You are a fossil. Basically already dead, as you are irrelevant to anyone, which is why you try so hard to make yourself relevant with your fantasies.
I am a waiter hun rob? can I ask where....what kind of establishment? :rolleyes: Maybe you should do a poll on that. Lets just see who believes I play blackjack for a living and who doesn't. Even on this polarized site, where people admit they are voting against what they truly believe, I suspect, I would do pretty well. Certainly a lot better than the 4% (1 in 22 and 1 in 23) that believed your 2 claims. Or have you forgotten? Should I link to those two polls to remind you? ;)
Ok I will. In the last year, someone stalking me (former member of this very forum) was able to locate where I lived by looking up real estate records and transactions. The home I sold was in my name. If it was in my partners name, the stalker person wouldn't have been able to locate the record. I owned the home and I purchased my new home, which actually was very close to the selling price of my old home. So if it was the fantasy scenario that you were making up, this stalker dude wouldn't have been able to find me.
I mean it isn't that you sometimes lie and make stuff up, it is that every single thing you say is a lie and made up....EVERYTHING. That is how you will be remembered, as a bullshit artist....for 20+ years. And you know who did that...YOU did that.
KJ
Rob did say it was an Obama era like de-motivator.
For me, I want to help people but not de-incentivize them from going back to work. The fact that the Senate majority republicans wrote that into the bill makes me dislike it even more. I’m really bothered by all the massive deficit spending.
At some point in the future we’ll find out if we got what we paid for, or just put trillions more on the debt pile.
I'm glad you're recovering KJ.
Why did KJ fake his own death?
And did you expect others would see anything but denials?
C'mon kew, fess up. It's not like you're gonna KILL YOURSELF!!! if you do :)
Lets see....infected blood, crossed wires upstairs, doomed to loneliness, an insignificant past combined with a bleak future, no productive skills whatsoever, and TWO heart surgeries before you reached 40. Yikes!
Compare that to: a lifetime successful, happily married father and grandfather with a secured retirement and income, at nearly 71 I'm STILL in good enuf shape (as I've always been) to wipe the floor with your puny ass, and the only medical condition I've ever had was a broken foot operation last year.
I'd like to say you're destined to die a lonely old man, but with your flaws and background you'll belucky to make it to 45.
Hmmmm....
I must have either missed it, or forgot that you had the Chinese Virus. I really don't know any advantage players that's had the Coronavirus. Smallcapgrowth claims to have had it, but know who knows with him. Then again he admits that he likes the tranny cock, so it would make sense he would probably get it.
What do you think cause you to get it VS most of the other Advantage Players? Where are you going out playing more frequently at a time when maybe you shouldn't have and perhaps from handling the chips and cards?
In all honesty, Mr Singer, what percentage of Vegas hotel and casino guests fall into this categiry?
Ten percent? Unlikely.
Five percent? Also unlikely.
One percent? I doubt it.
A tiny fraction of one percent? I still doubt it.
But anyone with a gambling problem is not sitting cold turkey waiting for a stimulus check and for Vegas to reopen. They've already found something else.
The reality is even if Vegas casinos reopen in May or June the crowds with stimulus money won't be there. People getting stimulus money have bills to pay from weeks of unemployment.
Try to be realistic. People getting $1200 or $3200 for a family of four can't gamble at $50 or $200 a hand like you.
You are a fat fuck of a gambler.
I don't believe I told you. Two different people in our condo building, have tested positive, one on our same floor 2 doors down. Only 3 days after we had heard that the guy down the hall, who happens to be a professional poker player had tested positive, my brother began showing symptoms, that was 8 days ago. We don't really know the guy, other than to say hello, but with this virus, could have been elevator buttons, or door knobs or mail room or anything. My brother was sick all week. Not severe, but like a flu, just over 100 degree temp, pressure in his chest, headache. He has finally improved some over the past 2 days.
I started not feeling well this past wednesday, about 4 days after him. My symptoms have been even milder than his. Mostly fatigue. I can't seem to stay awake for long, with a little pressure in my chest, slight fever and mild achiness which gets worse at night. Thursday was my worse day. I think I am already getting better. Just really tired....gotta get through that. A couple more days and hopefully it will be gone. Still supposed to isolate I think 7 days after symptoms stop and by then hopefully they will have the antibody test up and running and we can confirm that we had it and get on with life, as soon as casinos open.
I also have a strange symptom that I haven't heard anyone speak of. Strange dreams at night. Not nightmares, but odd dreams with people that I haven't seen or even thought about since childhood. Maybe just a co-incidence, but seems weird.
I'm sorry you've been ill Mr Kewlj. I guess I'm lucky. I don't know anyone ill with the virus or even suspects they had it. A friend had bronchitis and tested negative for the virus.
About the dreams. Unusual dreams are not unusual given our present circumstances. We are all pressured one way or another and our dreams reflect those pressures. We spend time on social media and we reminisce about the old days and so we dream about the old days.
A classmate is a psychologist and we discussed this on Facebook. He says we have a 50/50 chance of dreaming about anything... either we dream about it or we don't. LOL
In other words, don't worry about it.
More importantly: were the dreams in color or black and white?
He says people who dream in black and white are more intelligent than those people who dream in color.
I always thought I dreamed in black and white because I couldn't afford the color.
It was actually about 10 years and blackjackinfo, although with crossover members, the story made its way to BJ21.
I am happy to explain my actions as I have done so before here. I am not proud of the incident but had my reasons. And I have never run from it. I take responsibility for it. It would have been easy to start over with a new handle. I never did that.
So now we are being treated to "nightmares by kew" after he and his baby bro contracted coronavirus in a building they had to move into because some other anonymous poster that kew likely lied about supposedly forced him out of his lover's house and into hiding?
I'm wondering....does this concoction fall under "counting two tables simultaneously and all that jazz" or "are crooked CSM's just another illusion?"
Either way----yep, this guy kew is certainly the picture of health with a clear path of success and long life ahead of him!
Ooo...Ooo just saw the post about people who get so mad and jealous about me that they "look me up"!
Kew, redietz, and arci you say. Hmmm....and what do these 3 all-stars all have in common? YAHTZEE!! They all tell and told lies about myself and my family, and they all have spouses who DIED. Arci's son even went that route right afterwards.
So tell me kew....isn't this karma just another reason why scoundrels like yourself and those two clowns keep trying and losing when it comes to me? And isn't it nice how What Goes Around Comes Around....and in such a righteous way! Of course, you and red paid the price beforehand, but we all had the privilege of having arci right here when he paid his dues for lying about me. So I gots to wonder....seeing you still have such a sick need to make up lies about me after apparently not having learned your lesson, do you think the Lord continues to punish you with viruses etc.?
Good luck.
Thank you mickeycrimm. That is a good summary. No doubt my version would have been longer, but really said no more. ;)
Rob, your post is scary. It is scary how quickly you are losing it. I think all members, regardless of political affiliation can agree that Joe Biden is quickly going downhill. Singer is on a much faster track now frequently mixing up events and timelines, starting new threads with identical names of threads already going, posting things in the wrong thread than he meant to. People sometimes sadly talk about a slow decline. Sadly, Singer is on a tobaggan, careening down the ice covered slopes of mental decline.
Strange dreams is common with covid-19.

Any dreams yet about beating the shit out of Moses?
I did see Chris Cuomo's account where he says he saw his dead father sitting on his bed or something like that. But that wasn't really a dream if I recall. That seemed more like a hallucination type thing which can occur with a very high fever. Neither me nor my brother had that high fever of 102, 103, 104, that some talk about. My brother was just over 100 for a couple days, I think I just hit a hundred one night (tempurates are higher at night), but mostly I have been somewhere in the 99 degree range.
I also think Chris Cuomo, is playing up his illness a bit for the media. Not saying he is lying, but ya know....
As for your Moses comment, that is inappropriate. Just like I was discussing in the baccmaster thread, you are one of those guys that frequently likes to stir the pot and start trouble. People say this on multiple forums about you. Be better than that Midwest player. You do have some positive contributions to make, so stick to that and leave the trolling / instigating shit alone.
Kew you lead a sour life.
Go take some tylenol.
Happy Easter, punk.
Wait....if somebody had enuf reason to go thru the trouble of locating kew, and kew fakes his death, moves, but then reappears because he's weak and incapable, how is that suppose to stop the guy from doing it again?
This story, as usual, has more holes in it than swiss cheese.
I lead a sour life??? Boy oh boy. ;)
Happy Easter back at you old man.
But it is not a happy Easter. It is a sucky Easter, for everyone. Beautiful day here in Vegas, and we don't have that many perfect days before it gets too warm and I am wasting it inside. My mother is all alone, about 5 miles away. Unable to visit her and spend time with her on Easter. Best we can do is spend face time online. Really lame. Families everywhere going through this same shit. :( Maybe worst of all, I am out of ice cream and can't run out and buy any. :mad:
Did someone say Swiss Cheese?

Circus Circus taking reservations starting May 1st. May be a pipe dream but I could see Phil opening up one of his properties if allowed with the debt from buying it last year.
As it’s not my type property, I don’t know much about it’s customer base. But I do remember years ago it was a lot of foreigners. They obviously won’t be back soon.
https://www.circuscircus.com/
Wasn’t going to start a new thread and upset Mcap. Here is an email GSR sent out today.
The interesting thing to me is no Resort Fees. Anyone think this will spread to Vegas? Personally I doubt it, or they will jack it into the rates.
I wonder how confident they are, that they will be allowed to open in June. That is, are they just trying to keep themselves on peoples' minds and bolster confidence that things will get back to normal in the next couple months to keep potential patrons from being scared to return if they do open or do they know something from some high connections in government about the time-table for re-opening stuff.
I was surprised I got a Caesar's invite today for June.
My wife has been a Diamond member within Caesars for the last three years (yeah I am the low roller at these properties). Anyhow we had two unique contacts in the last five days. First off, I received a text from the bartender at the Diamond Lounge (Laurel) in AC on Saturday asking how we were holding up in these times. I had exchanged numbers with him but we had only visited AC 4 times a year for the last three years. I love the guy and talk constantly with him about sports trivia. Yes, I have stayed at the bar after lunch as the wife hits the slots again and comes back to have an early dinner with me. But still, I had never texted him once. I believe the text was sincere as we have it off with no animosity (Who the hell remembers Hawthorne Wingo!).
Secondly, my wife just received her first contact (phone call), today, from a host within the Caesars properties in LV. We only go twice a year and usually hang at the Boyd properties. Apparently Caesars is upping their game on the marketing side. There has been no offers but it impressed me that these contacts were made.
We got an airfare & hotel offer from Harrah's Laughlin yesterday for June.
Had three offers for June at CET - two tournaments and GGW. The tournaments were pulled first (and I don’t think we’ll see any tournaments in the near future - a 1000 people gathered into a limited area over 6 hours touching slots). The GGW was pulled about 5 days later.
Not sure about Vegas, but I got an email from Atlantic City Hard Rock. They are doubling tier points from reopening until June 30th, 2020. That suggests they expect to be open by then.
Connections are likely. I imagine they have inside info on when they will be allowed to reopen.
SWA is pilling on with freebies. 15,000 points gratis. With todays prices worth half continent free r/t flight (For me Tampa-New Orleans). 10 credit flights towards A List. Time extended for all stored funds and working for A List extended till end of 2021. Most of that is hugh for me.
Forget about Vegas casinos opening up. Governor Sisolak says there isn't even a plan yet to open them. This is the same Governor whose Unemployment Insurance Department can't even distibute the federal money that was appropriated.

Alabama is starting toward opening beaches May 1st in the Orange Beach Tourist area. I would expect Mississippi to follow closely behind along with the Biloxi casinos. And then the Florida Panhandle.
Other than some Indian casinos in The Dakota’s, they may be the first in the country.
Time will tell if people flock to them, but Alabama expects an influx of tourists from Out of State. Pent up demand is out there with a majority of Americans.

Cosmo announces how they are handling Status.
Article in the Las Vegas Sun which is a small paper hints that as part of any casino reopening you will have your temperature checked before you are allowed to enter.
The most pessimistic article yet about reopening Vegas. Note the survey of consumers about travel and being in crowds. https://www.reviewjournal.com/busine...vegas-2006920/
You really seem to be celebrating this. Like Howard Hughes Dietz you seem to enjoy the casinos being closed and people out of work. We all agree it going to take time to get back to normal numbers, but anything is better than nothing. These numbers show we are not talking about small numbers here, even at huge decreases.
“The worst month was February, during the casino shutdown. In that month — normally robust with visitors during Chinese New Year festivities — revenue plummeted 87.8 percent to $387.1 million.
Gaming revenue in March decreased 79.7 percent to $655.5 million from March 2019. It was the sixth straight month of declines for Macao, which also was impacted by unrest in nearby Hong Kong in the fourth quarter of 2019.“
These states will all be begging the Federal Government for bailouts when their tax revenues drop to next to nothing due to their overreaction. A true liberal dream, everyone dependent on the government.
#Openitup.
Celebrating the closure? Not in my apartment complex where at least 40% of the residents had casino related jobs.
I guess you just want to kill the messenger? Well, I'm not even the messenger. Why don't you contact the reporter at the Review Journal and tell him a thing or two.

Casinos opening will be a great way to get a free mask. Anyone that doesn't have one will probably be given one at the entrances ;-)
Not sure it matters.
According to most educated sources the virus is in everything already.
Gas Pumps
The Mail
Paper Money
Amazon Cardboard Boxes
The Ocean
Sidewalks
Dog Parks
Lakes
Motor Boats
Seeds
The Air within 24 feet of another individual
Shoes (from walking outside)
Your Clothes (from walking through poisoned air)
etc etc etc
Fuck Man!!
lol
It appears that Dominos, Subway, McDonalds and the like are immune though.
No problem with drive thru, pick up or delivery for some reason.
Liquor Stores, Cigarettes and MJ Shops are safe as well.
Grocery Stores are unsafe but if you have them pack you up some boxes and bring it out to your car you are safe...
as long as you wipe everything down with germ killing whatever and wash your hands, wipe down your shoes and wash all your clothes as soon as you get home!!
You might want to wash your car with rubbing alcohol as well.
Especially the Tires!!
Get the more potent stuff!
The article is pessimistic especially considering who owns LVRJ.
The bounceback is all dependent on those who come into LV to spend money from out of state and overseas, because depending on locals ain't gonna cut it. They'll be flooding thelocals casinos because most of them are gambling addicts who play low level. But the Strip is where the big hit will be, and it will never be the same. And I'll bet Branson wishes he never bought and planned a re-do of HRH.
So here's the status for walkers (from personal experience):
Arby's:take-out OK
Taco Bell:Need a car, drive-though only - this is recent, they were accepting take-out orders for awhile, but probably didn't get enough foot traffic to justify it.
Mcdonald's: No problem - take out is fine (as you mentioned)
Haven't gone to Subway or Dominos so glad you covered those.
I don't understand how you can't be around people but unknown people can make your food and hand you the to go bag, napkins, utensils etc etc.
Heck, it is safe for them to pour you a 32oz soda and hand it to you!?
For some reason the Virus infects everything but the food supply and to go orders.
People are so worried they have to have the grocery store pack up boxes of food for them while they where masks and gloves.
Some of these same people head next door to McDonalds where the virus doesn't survive for some reason.
Mr Singer excellent point about the RJ being owned by the Adelsin family. That means you can consider this as serious.
I was reviewing the Trump plan and it seems to me casinos fall into the third step.
I'm sorry but I think it will be a few months at best before casinos are open. I only hope my neighbors get help and that Nevada straightens out its unemployment system.
And I really hope there is another round of stimulus.
I don’t know if you guys or joking or serious, but I thought I’d add my two cents worth for what’s it worth.
Even though the virus can exist on various items for as long as 17 days, they (meaning the “experts”...and when I say “experts”, I don’t mean the goofballs they have on CNN or CNBC) know the main mode of transmission of this virus is from one person to another through the air. It happens mostly through coughing, but singing or talking aggressively can also produce a lot of the airborne virus.
Thus, the reason almost everybody got the virus in that famous church choir practice up in Washington last month, even though they didn’t hug each other or touch anything during the choir practice. They only sang for 2 hours. They thought they were being safe, but they didn’t know the main mode of transmission is through the air. After singing for 2 hours, I expect one infected person could easily infect that whole room. Nobody was sick at the time of the choir practice.
The best example I know showing the virus, for the most part, is difficult to transmit through infected food workers is our good ‘ol Diamond Princess example. All the people who cooked and prepared the food during the 30 day quarantine were infected with the virus, except one or two. And still 83% of the people on the ship never contacted the virus. They think most the people that got it, got it before the ship was quarantined.
While I’m not a fan of the lockdown and social isolation, I understand why they are doing it. They know people being within 6 feet of each other is the main mode of transmission of this virus (or any virus like it, which includes the flu viruses).
It’s very difficult to get it by just touching a surface that has the virus, or through infected food workers. I’m not saying I’m an expert on this, but I have read a lot and I’m understanding better why social distancing is so important in stopping its spread.
You should be good getting your food at any take out place, as long as the person who takes your money doesn’t cough on you. Lol
Mr Bob21 brings up valid points. While the virus can be detected on various surfaces for many days it loses its potency on surfaces quickly. This info came out when the social media hysteria started about gas pump handles. Don't worry about the virus on gas pump handles worry about the carcinogenic gasoline on gas pump handles and all the other crap.
But because this is primarily an airborne problem I'm seeing more about having customers and dealers all wearing masks when casinos reopen and an end to smoking and NO MORE COCKTAIL service at tables or machines. You'll still be able to get a drink but not while playing.
