Any number is acceptable to me right now. Let the states do what they’re gonna do. I’m ready to get back to life. I’ve got a Vegas trip planned for two weeks from right now. I’m going to fly out and enjoy myself.

If we get to the point where hospitals start getting overwhelmed again, we can reassess then.


It already has been the case, all closures are state level.

There is no federal restriction causing casino closures in any state.

The CDC has spoken. They have provided the "best" way that they see forward. Why break with them now?

WTF

I have always advocated for doing what it takes TO FLATTEN THE CURVE.


I agree, killing everyone would flatten the curve. there would be no new cases, I am all for it.

It's not hard to believe you worked for a casino. You've got like that ruthless aspect to you required to take the customer's last penny.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

That's got to be borderline personal insult.

Hopefully he does not work for an online casino
Say I buy 200 in chips, walk around a casino, don't gamble and can easily cash out and get 100% of my money back``
Try that at an online casino. You make a deposit, online casino views that money as theirs. They will require you to accept a bonus insuring that deposit is theirs.
The fine print is insidious because I went through it. If they think you are cheating (they don't have to prove, just think) they have the right not to pay out. You want to fight them in court, the fine print directs you to a country in Central America

I am not insulted. I actually root for the customers to beat the math, but I barely value human life because I believe we are all replaceable and individuals lives mean almost nothing.

And my solution would absolutely flatten the curve.

I guess we mostly agree, then. Human beings are both impermanent and inherently worthless, myself included.

The United States, Italy, Spain, France and the United Kingdom contain just 7.5% of the world’s population — and two-thirds of its coronavirus death toll.
WTF
Countries that Trump declared are sh**holes are kicking our ass regarding the virus.
They took it seriously early, we did not.

A contagious virus spread rapidly in countries lots of people travel to in the densely-populated areas that are most frequently visited. Imagine that.
