COVID-19 (2): Turns out it's going to be pretty bad actually

You seriously might. I have seen reports of people outside the country getting the stimulus.

This is quite the catch 22. Best source of vitamin D is the sun but in some places you are not supposed to be hanging outside.

On the other hand, we’re going to get so many people sick so quickly, that if immunity is a thing we may be back to normal consumption levels by the holidays.

For what it’s worth, this appears to make a vitamin D deficiency worse than the average comorbidities in other studies. Of course they’re also correlated, realistically.

Most, not all, but most tipped workers treat other tipped workers exceptionally well.

Or investigating Biden, maybe investigating a left wing plot to hack some voting machines in Philly, Detroit and Milwaukee. Oops sorry gotta seize those as evidence!

I decided to check out what the braintrust on 22 is saying and even Toothsayer isn’t on team herd immunity. Not exactly what I was expecting tbh.

Try like a different poker industry thread where they’re discussing when/how to reopen, the future of live poker, etc.

The OOT thread isn’t bad.am. I looked at that BFI thread once and plucked out my eyeballs.

22 LV Lifestyle / ‘Coronavirus and Vegas’ thread is like going back in time a month or two - you’ll definately be dumber after reading that one

Does anyone know where to get data on COVID in the US in some accessible format like CSV? Like time series data, even state by state, or county by county?

You could just hang out in your back yard, front porch, balcony, or whatever. And the amount of sun exposure you need is pretty low. I haven’t checked it out in a long time, but I think 30min or whatever was mentioned upthread is more than adequate.

‘One third’ of US deaths in care homes

New analysis by the New York Times suggests a third of all US deaths can be traced to care homes and nursing facilities.

Officials have not yet revealed breakdowns of fatalities but data compiled by the newspaper suggests at least 25,600 care home residents and workers have died with Covid-19.

Their reporting suggests 143,000 cases have been detected at some 7,500 facilities.

Some facilities, like the Cobble Hill Health Center in Brooklyn, have seen dozens of deaths

In some states, including Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, care home deaths account for more than 50% of the state total.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says in its own guidance that nursing facilities are at the “highest risk” of virus spread because of their communal living arrangements. They urge facilities to take “aggressive” action to protect their residents, including restricting visitors and implementing mandatory health checks.

Almost 1.3m total cases and more than 77,000 deaths have been recorded nationally.

I was reading the one that all the dealers and floors post in. Lots of, “So are we re-opening in 2 weeks or a month?” a little bit about safety precautions, and an occasional, “We’re never re-opening.”

Someone I think has tended to have a pretty good read of the industry said it’s just a matter of how long it takes everyone to realize that this is just like the flu, we’re all going to get it, slightly higher death rate. Once we all realize, we’ll all go back to normal.

In before Trump starts talking about this new inflammatory shock thing that the WHO has ignored, and which is far more dangerous than COVID-19 because it impacts our sweet, beautiful children. The Democrats just want to distract you from, I call it, the in-flamm-uh-tour-ee SHOCK. They call it, “The Shock,” because it’s so awful. It’s shocking. Shock and Awe, is a phrase I’ve coined to describe it. Awe, as in awful. Shock and Awe-full.

They hate kids, the Democrat Party, they want to kill them. See first it’s abortions, then it’s infanticide. Now they’re coming for your five year old. And your cheeseburgers. And your freedom. Also your guns. They are the Party of Shock and Awe Full.

Along the lines of addictive consumerism, even the junky places count. I mean, stuffing a Big Mac in your face is consumerism.

I think the NVG coronavirus/WSOP thread might be the most useful, just because of how it is modded. It definitely gives me the “how coronavirus affects gambling” angle that I don’t quite get here.

I follow a few of the threads about specific venues that I have played at and likely will play at again. There are posters who are casino employees or who have likely talked to people who are who have some sense of what casinos are planning.

I suspect they only send them out to people who have filed income tax returns in America.

If that’s the case, then I won’t be getting anything :frowning:
