What prevention alternatives can players choose to avoid coronavirus?

[gustav197poker]

Hi everyone. On this occasion I would like to echo the most widespread theme in the world. It is known in this environment, that several important companies suspended their live events, as a consequence of a global prevention campaign, of the disease caused by this virus.
From this current perspective, I would like to ask a few questions about the coronavirus (also applicable, to prevent the spread of any virus and / or bacteria that may arise in the future):

1) As a player, what do you think is the most effective way, so that the corresponding political authorities, in charge of the general management of live casino games, can accelerate more timely the creation of prevention plans against this virus?

2) Should we avoid excessive contact with any foreign element except for stacks and cards? And from this perspective: Do you think casinos should allow the use of necessary external tools such as gloves and chinstraps?

3) Do you consider that this is the most important moment, where we should move away from the elements that could have commonly been used before or during live poker, but that are now fundamentally harmful to all because they negatively affect the defenses of our organism? For example cigarettes and alcohol.

4) Have you thought about reducing the frequency of times you go to the casino to play live poker?


Thank you all for your responses, regards.

I think latex gloves would be a great idea. Are they not currently allowed?

I can't believe that in the 21st century any indoor facility still allows cigarette smoking. The words "Clueless" and "Medieval" come to mind.

Main advice is Play on line! Live poker is associated with potential contamination, for sure, unless is a Home game with people you know very well and none is been traveling far from home. :top:

The truth is I do not know. But I still didn't see anyone with them.


Obviously cigarettes are consumed before sitting at the table. But contagion can occur in the casino, since there are special sectors for smokers in Latin America. In other countries of the world the consumption of cigarettes is strictly prohibited.

I understand Vegas casinos and brothels are excepted under the Nevada Clean Air Act. I guess if "brothels" are a legitimate business venture, pretty much anything else is okay too.

I think the easiest way to fight coronavirus is to close the casinos and cancel live poker tournaments until the threat is completely eliminated.
It is good that online poker exists

Some casinos have already cancelled tournaments (Wynn). If you do not want to be contaminated with the coronavirus, go all in and either you lose, or you win double your money and leave the table, keeping your hands away from your face.

Best way to prevent catching and spreading it is to stay home, play online if you have to play.
