COVID-19: Chapter 9 - OMGicron

From reading too many tweets about it today, it’s rather split out there amongst the pros I’ve heard of. I noted a few earlier. For bigger names Moneymaker/dnegs/dunst

the players I haven’t abit more on the terrible side than not.

There’s going to be some series that’s gonna be a god damn gold mine that’s not the wsop. but you have to fade covid great

It’s all fun and games until these idiots realize they can pretty easily avoid giving their kids standard childhood vaccines with no real consequences. Not super excited about the coming measles resurgence.

Not sure if you guys are serious, but tournament poker players are some of the stupidest people on the planet. Majority of those people could never beat 2/5+NL or PLO.

Might have to go to the WSOP now. Seems like 90% of pros are dipshit deplorables so this is 100% the year of the amateur.

Some of these guys will be there a month doing god knows what when not at the poker table. Will they need to get tested every single day? How long should the “proof of non-infection” be good for

Joe and Matusow aren’t anti vax (shocked me on matusow too), they’re on the side of as long as you previously had covid, then it shouldn’t be mandatory (though obv mike doesn’t believe in the positive test = auto DQ’d)

I’d bet more amateurs who would play wsop are on the anti vax side, pros (at least on twitter) seemed split.

Pretty sure the Bobby’s room guys were saying they were going to sit out if a unvaccinated player sat in the game.

I’d expect about half of poker players to be that dumb, so this all sounds about right.

At least we will have the receipts to laugh at them forever in the upcoming years.

Yea there are plenty thankfully

This is definitely not what happened. She and Foxen posted over and over again that it didn’t matter who they retweeted, the video was good and should stand on its merits. It took many people many posts to get it through their thick skulls that retweeting Nazis is bad.

And zero chance it’s actually Foxen in that thread. All of his tweets are this faux intellectual bs and not this curse heavy emo tilt

ya pony was got

I’m sure this got discussed when I wasn’t reading this thread for awhile but now I’m seeing apparent studies saying PHD’s are the least likely to get vaccinated with people with masters degrees the most

which sadly makes some sense to me given what I’ve encountered online

Source? I work with all PhDs across a wide variety of STEM and social fields in data science and all of them are fully vaccinated.

I can’t with this shit.

I’m not exactly sure what you’re referring to with “proof of non-infection”. What I was talking about was antibody titers, which certainly wouldn’t need to be checked daily.

Of course, these levels will go down with time, and COVID is a new disease, so there is a lot we don’t know, but I’d imagine even once a month would be more than enough.

Here is one that I’ve seen linked:
