I haven't seen anything yet but I'm sure there will be more to come. If anyone is a live poker player, all you can do is watch for news.

This is the only sensible path to take - not just regarding casinos but with most crowd activities.

Sad to say I was just reading a report from some leading researchers who were trying to model the potential effects of the Delta variant across society in general (not just red states) and the predictions are potentially alarming due to the waning efficacy of the vaccinations (I'll leave it at that),

However, sensible protocols need to be in place everywhere where people are socializing and gathering. period.

Well in the netherlands they are thinking of doing away with social distancing. Schools will be open again and are allowed up to 75 people in 1 classroom. Mask mandatory in the hallways bvut not in the classroom... I have slightly given up on waiting for the live scene to open up again. Delta variant is going to be another reason to close up shop in a few weeks/months. Time to cherish online poker/streaming for entertainment

If it was only casinos, then maybe it would not be such a big deal. But its also restaurants and many other things. And therefore I have to say, I am very strongly against this. "COVID passes" are extremely bureaucratic, and they create a situation, where our entire life is still focused on avoiding, what is after all just another disease among many other, which already excisted. With the majority of the population vaccinated, COVID-19 is no longer representing a health problem, which justify this. So instead countries should basically do, what the UK has done, which is lift all restrictions and let it run. Sooner or later natural immunity combined with vaccinations will then cause case numbers to drop, so that even unvaccinated people are relatively safe.
