COVID and live poker, again (2 Viewers)

Not only am I flirting with you, but I think COVID is now an endemic disease we'll be forced to live with moving forward. The best we can do is take the proper medical precautions and do our best to help protect our most at risk. I plan to play live poker, but stay home when I'm sick and do what I can within reason to avoid getting sick.

I’ve crying in unadulterated joy right now. I’ve waited 7 years to make that joke in context. Thank you, I’ll never forget any of you.

Except the Idaho guy. Where the fuck is Idaho, actually?
That's solid material. Glad it finally came to fruition.

I'm still waiting for an opportunity to use my "dating during COVID" material.

You say you don't want to engage in a debate then ask questions hoping for answers from one side of the population.

I suggest this thread moves to the political topic

Anybody who frames topics of health science as "political" has already shown their prejudices.

Viruses don't give a f*** about your politics, religion, social status, gender identity, or whether you felt the chips you buy. They only want to spread their contagion as wide as possible. And anybody who knowingly and willingly helps that along cares deserves to be called out.

Viruses are people too.

@Josh Kifer ?
 
Trying to answer the question... I have just accepted that more or less once a year I catch flu type symptom.

No wether it s called a cold, COVID, flue or whatever it doesn't matter to me. I keep living my life.

If I'm sick or feeling sick I stay home. If I really have to go outside for groceries for example I will wear a mask and avoid spreading saliva drops in the air.

If you have kids, you know getting sick at least once a year is a guarantee, no matter what the vector is.

It’s just part of life now, all we can do is our best, which it sounds like you are.
 
I avoid COVID by hardening my organs and immune system with laughably large amounts of alcohol.
Personally, I find that approach works better with blood borne illnesses such as flaming hepatitis, Ebola, and Rabies.
 
That’s not me, that’s me summoning my margarita pitcher named Mjolnir.
This is the first thing you've said this year that has made me fall back in love with you, kitten.
 
I've never had any of those, so you might be on to something.
Oh shit. We've upgraded hepatitis, ebola, and rabies into FLAMING HEPATITIS, FLAMING EBOLA, AND FLAMING RABIES??!...

We really are on the "being punished" timeline because of Harambe.....
 
Covid, flu, cold, or whatever it is.. if you're sick stay your ass at home. Don't come over to potentially get me or other players (and our familes) sick. Don't be a jerk. Of course this only applies to home games.

For live poker it's a bit riskier as there's plenty of people you see there coughing, or seeming not fully well playing regardless. Same with going to a casino. Not sure how to manage that otherwise avoiding anyone seemingly sick.

The derailing in this thread is disrespectful to the entire community.
 
I'm saying if you want to post a bunch of jokes and memes or whatever, you shouldn't do it in a thread where people are actually having a discussion.

I think it's pretty straightforward. Pre-COVID and post-COVID ... if you are sick, stay home. If you are hosting the game and are sick, cancel.

If the fear of COVID - or any other communicable virus - keeps you from playing live poker, so be it.

Discussion was gonna go south into politics. Discussion is still active between awesome gifs. Post starter @Taghkanic isn't offended (I PMed and apologized, he lol'ed). Post hasn't slogged into politics.

I think the community is okay.

We are gonna get thru this. Together.

Okay I'll amend my statement about the entire community. I don't like the derailling going on in this thread. I caught covid at a poker game recently, so I found the topic interesting. Also I was curious to see if anybody else had opinions about Ike Haxton's masks. But all the derailing seemed to be derailing the conversation. I don't like it when people decide for themselves that other people's conversations are over and that it's time to have a free for all.

I don’t think anyone disagrees with the point that not going to games when you know or suspect you are sick solves 99% of the problem.

No one is arguing for going to games sick.

Is there more discussion needed on that topic, or shall we dive into collecting DNA from each other before exhanging gaming tokens? I’m fine with it, as long as I get to first.
