Topic: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. - page 34. (Read 4611 times)

Actually I do not like the news that Las Vegas casinos will soon reopen, even though as we saw in the news spread of COVID19
is still ongoing and the number of infected is still high. If forced to open casinos is very terrible, what could happen a dramatic
increase in the spread of COVID19. Should be more patient and wait for a downward trend.

We still have no idea what might happen in the future, we are seeing many rallying without taking any protection and one thing is certain, only the unhealthy people are perishing with the virus and it gives an advantage for anyone who does not have a history of illness the confidence to roam outside freely and whether these are the best assumption are not known for the next few months.

There is a lot of frustration because of job loss and the suicide rate is climbing and a vaccine is far from reality at this time. Just hoping for the best rather than panicking now and hopefully i can return to work soon.

Well, at this moment is still too early to.say if this is the end of pandemic era or just a pause.
Many experts say this was just a first part
Anyway, life needs to continue and people need to work. That includes casinos too and we can't be locked in our homes forever.
Also, even if second wave appears I.don't think that another global lockdown is adequate solution, that might be really the end of the world as we know it.
So, I'm for casinos to be open and gamblers should act responsible.

A gambler with good self-control will probably know how to take care of their own self. But gamblers who are addicted to it would definitely still continue gambling even in the middle of the pandemic because they were not able to take care of their mental health in gambling, what more for physical health.

The risk is really high, especially the number of positive cases in the US, so even with following the protocol, there is still a high risk. Even when just going outside, I don't feel 100% safe and secure anymore, what more staying in a public place where you will hold a thing that a lot of gamblers will also hold. You don't even know if the person who holds it before you were already a carrier or not, so it's a big risk for everyone.

Carelessness will only cause problems in the end. Using masks, the practice of clean and healthy living is a condition that should be normal in a pandemic situation. The government of my country has allowed people to get out of their homes and start doing activities as usual, but these people must have good control to prevent themselves from being infected by the virus and therefore comply with the rules and prevention efforts are things that will be new to them.

We all know that out there still has a real risk of infection because we do not know exactly who has been infected among the many people we interact with. Self-protection with a mask and practice of clean and healthy living is important. In addition, avoiding crowds is a good suggestion to prevent transmission. I believe that this virus is a real threat to everyone, but I am still doubtful about this virus as explained by the media so far and I also doubt that the second wave will emerge just because of 1 new infection case.

Its lethal enough to warrant the alarm and the problem is how easily it transmits combined with a strange dynamic of some having no symptoms and others dying in short order unable to be helped.   If it was simply one or the other and just killed off its victims then it'd not propagate like it has.    The reality is millions of people will die if its left to just take its toll without control because no help could be given at all.   The best case now is that they reduce the rate of progress across the population and also warn those who cannot survive any attack on their lungs, etc.
   I'd love to hear I'd read it wrongly but fairly sure I saw something close to 10% pass away after catching it, thats quite bad enough to want to contain it till a vaccine is developed.  If lucky we get some kind of treatment in the autumn but thats if lucky, its also possible it takes years to remove the risk.

If we take the States, there are literally millions of people already sick or have been sick

So if the virus was as lethal as it is portrayed by the mass media, the death toll would have already been in the millions, if not dozens of millions. Since we are not there yet, and most certainly will never be (because of the coronavirus), we instantly face the question of how things really are (if we are honest to ourselves). Am I the only one who sees that the reality is different from how it is being painted?

I saw some photos of people gambling in casinos and many werent wearing masks at all. I think with all the protests going on and nobody getting sick and curve is still flattening people are just being careless. I don't know if you guys trade stocks but MGM and LVS went up alot in the last few days. If you bought the low of MGM at like $7 you could of sold at $23 basically 3x your money.

This is why many people think that wave 2 will come sometime in the Summer. People are just tired of staying at home and wearing masks that they just want a normal life. And all it will take is one sick person and the cycle will start again. Hopefully by then and end of year there will be some type of vaccine for this so life can return back to normal.

I think this might show us something.

Do gamblers actually care about their health or they don't as long as they can gamble. They might follow some precautions when it comes to the virus like social distancing but it is still risky since there will be a lot of people in a casino and might leave a virus anywhere there in the casino. I don't know what they are thinking that but all I know is that it is true people needed jobs right now but it is still risky.

Laziness made it happen 


Las Vegas has already launched the games mate,and they are doing good now though not that good compared to the recent operation as they can accumulate more Players while now there are limited entries that can only accommodate .

The epidemic has damaged everything in the world This time around Las Vegas Casino is looking to re-launch the game to overcome this crisis But I think it would be better to restart the game. Because everything is closed due to the epidemic, everyone is spending a lot of time in frustration in which case people are leaning more towards online gambling Everyone is gambling at home and is able to make some money Demand for this specialty has grown significantly as a result of recent corporate scandals.

This is the only reason why Las Vegas wanted to open even if there's no cure yet. 1/3 of Las Vegas income comes directly or indirectly from casino related so it makes sense that they are eager to reopen just to get back in business and make their local economy move again.

We might say the Las Vegas was always "bullish" before the pandemic. But it will still be a long way to go, as slots games - the staple of Las Vegas casinos' will be reduce to follow social distancing rule.

I see some reasons into why they choose to re-open the casinos in Las Vegas.

1. Economy - We know that the economy of the world went down because of the pandemic. USA is one of the richest countries worldwide and they are heavily affected by this pandemic. They see that their economy is down that is why they choose to open some establishments including casinos but with a strict protocols that are imposed.

2. Possible Cure - In the past months, we saw some scientists making a cure or a vaccine against the COVID19. Gilead Sciences have created a "possible" cure that is Remdesivir and probably the tests of that vaccine gave good results for the patients there that is why they are confident to open some establishments including casinos.

3. They don't want to be beaten by China - We know already the rivalry between these 2 and China right now has a low case rate of COVID19 already while USA.. its the epicenter right now. If they will remain the establishments closed for a longer time, their economy will be going down further thus they decided to open establishments to have a slow recovery of their economy.

I think that will depend on each country. If they care with their citizen, they will use the strict protocol to cover their people, so if some businesses like gambling industries want to reopen their place, the casino will also use a strict protocol which suggested by their government. That will be necessary and important to do because only with that way can prevent the new case of Covid-19 since in the US have the biggest number of cases. In the country which doesn't have the biggest cases, they should use the same protocol or low protocol to prevent the new case.

When people have so quickly dropped proper spacing, its almost certain we get more cases later in the year then now.   Also FLU traditionally spikes as we move into colder weather, the real question then is the second wave larger then the first which would be a failure.   If they can control it better on the 2nd wave and its just a bump then its the best case scenario, its possible but I still think people dont keep proper distances or manage to disinfect alot of the time so its going to keep spreading at a certain rate.
    Masks dont really stop it spreading as I understand it, especially the casually used type where air is still circulated unfiltered through a natural process of breathing so being too close will spread an infection anyway.


There is no simple opening, both countries allow less restriction but not to areas of close confinement.   Business will have to adapt to give more space by far and still people will make mistakes anyway.   I went to the supermarket with one way signs and the staff were walking the wrong way and bumping into people, which makes it nonsense.
  Casinos are far too closely crowded most of the time, big alterations are going to be required and the obvious choice is to just gamble online for the rest of this year I dont see anything else makes much sense especially to anyone at risk.

Theoretically there will always be a second wave of infection but it is not 100% sure that it will happen. Alot or even all expert predicted that there will be a second wave but both economy and health cant really go side by side. There should be a balance for both therefore most country have allowed alot of businesses to reopen including casino ( In this case, the Las Vegas Casino )


There will always be safety measures or else they wont be able to reopen their doors. Casino contribute quite some tax to the economy of a country so either they open their business or the whole country's economy could be shaking.

If there will be another wave, it shouldn't be pointed out to the reopening of casinos there. Just hope for the best as the business there already resume.

Keeping the city under lockdown for several more months or wait until vaccine will be made will just result in people there to become aggressive finding a source of income to the point that they will disregard that there's still a virus that's roaming everywhere. It will contribute more to the spread of the virus.

I just hope that the strict safety measures will be followed properly at these casinos on which I believed it will truly follow.

There are lots of ways to remain virus-free, that's what matters so I agree that opening the casino in Las Vegas is reasonable. People just have to follow the new normal activities and not become confident that they won't be infected with the virus.

The economy needs to go back in shape so that countries can help with financial assistance to support their health workers and mass creation of the Covid-19 vaccine. Even how rich the USA is, they need funds to support its large economy.

I agree with you on this, I really believe that the lockdown is not the right solution since the economy will also suffer.
Government relied only on the taxes and no taxes will be collected when there is no business operation, that simple logic though. 

It's really difficult, but we if are talking of strict protocol, I think US are not good with that and it we have evidence proving that since they have the biggest number of cases almost 2 million people. That's why people are protesting because of that big numbers and yet they allow a big casino to re-open, while on the cases of  New Zealand, they have a very few cases with over a thousand only per record, and they have no new cases lately, so they decided to lift almost all the restrictions.
