Re: Coronavirus and Casinos
The best advice nurse can give you is wash your hands constantly and don’t put your hands near your face. You can always take a small pack of Antiseptic wipes and wipe off all the keys before you play. A lot of research coming out proves that mask don’t do anything

All viruses have their own characteristics when it comes to how they can be spread.
This particular one spreads through actual droplets of mucus and/or saliva, so a mask will reduce spreading of this virus significantly. In order to catch it, you have to touch the same surface as an infected person or they need to cough on you from close range. That's why they're only asking about people who were in the same cabin (first class vs business class vs coach) as infected persons on flights and not about people on the same flight in general.
It's also interesting that the more common versions of the flu kill over 50,000 Americans every year, yet few are worried about travel or crowds when it comes to those flues.

The people that are dying are old and have compromised immune systems

The problem with this particular virus is there are many unknowns. As usual, the media makes a mountain out of a molehill. Only time will tell. We have a number of friends who are health compromised. Some are going through chemo. Anyone over 60 should take extra care. A good friend and neighbor died last year from the flu. His wife has alzheimers and there was no one to take him to the doctor. No one even knew he was sick.
My wife fell in the summer of 2018. She hadn't been feeling well. When the EMTs took her to the hospital, they discovered she had pneumonia. The doctors had been treating her for mono. She's fine now. If she hadn't fell, the doctor's told her she would have gone septic and died. I would have had to bury her ashes in the church garden. If you have elderly family members, check on them often.

It is disconcerting to consider how many people fail to properly wash their hands. This needs to be done every time you use the bathroom, and numerous other times per day. Use hot water and good soap. Handwashing needs to be done vigorously for at least 20 or 30 seconds. I cringe when I am in a public restroom and see someone use the toilet and leave without washing their hands. That's the same guy who probably pounded the buttons on your VP machine for several hours before you arrived in the casino. But seriously, getting into the constant aggressive handwashing habit could potentially help defend you from numerous transmittable viruses.

No, the best Harrah’s machines are dollar denominated, so it can be disastrous. Enjoy!

Sticking on topic: I'm sick of FAA slamming CET Atlantic City properties for no good reason at all.
