The casinos in my town, have stated, that they have improved the ventilation systems, so that it will be cleaner air & less likely to hold virus. Of course I have no idea if that works. They are also going to temperature check people upon entry.

At least in California I don't think they have to agree to anything the state wants, the state constitution recognizes their sovereignty so they aren't subject to any California laws.

I wish they'd give more details on the ventilation system. I know at hard rock everyone has to wear masks, but my friend said the smokers pull them down the minute they walk in so that they can smoke.

There's a dive bar near my house that never closed, they just use the back door and tell their clientele where to park in the parking lot to make it look less suspect. They've been reported by a few people -mostly out of concern that they may be spreading Covid because the clientele for the most part look like walking petri dishes, I'm sure you know the type -hacking up lungers and discharging them in the parking lot and smoking at the entrance of the bar and throwing cigarette butts on the ground.

I guess some people think that allowing that is good for the economy, I think the opposite - it makes myself and a number of my friends and relatives less likely to even leave the house.

I can’t rep you again, but you deserve it for that great description of the dive bar patrons.

One of the casinos mentioned some technology they were using. Here’s the description from their website:

“Our use of cutting-edge UVC Technology provides a “hospital clean” environment for our Guests and Team Members.

UVC Technology is the most efficient and advanced medical-grade cleaning methodology available.

More effective than a topical spray which may only provide a liquid barrier, UVC treatment actually kills viruses and eradicates pathogenic microorganisms.

UVC disinfectant tech is 100% safe. Treated surfaces are immediately ready for normal use

***** is deploying this UVC Technology daily, throughout the property, to thoroughly disinfect the air, surface areas, and objects—including shuttle busses, tables, slots, chips, cards, and much more.”


The buffet appears to be open.

Wow, the buffet is open? Dang I still can't buy bulk beans from the bins in the grocery store but people are going to hover over food at a buffet. I'd probably pass on that but then I never cared much for buffet food anyway.

I just ran across this in the Washington Post, I had no idea how political affiliation defines opinions on governmental response to the pandemic:

Generally speaking, Democrats are more wary of easing social distancing practices while Republicans are more eager to do so. More Republicans than Democrats say the worst of the pandemic is behind us. Here’s how people responded to the Kaiser poll when asked whether they expect to do the following activities within the next three months:

• Eat in-person at a restaurant in the next three months: 75 percent of Republicans; 39 percent of Democrats.
• Go to a barber, hair salon or nail salon: 74 percent of Republicans; 43 percent of Democrats.
• Attend a gathering of friends or family with more than 10 people: 73 percent of Republicans; 43 percent of Democrats.
• Stay in a hotel or vacation rental: 43 percent of Republicans; 24 percent of Democrats.

The poll also found partisan differences in how people feel about wearing masks:

• Eighty-nine percent of Democrats and 58 percent of Republicans said they wear a mask away from home and around other people some or most of the time.
• Eight-eight percent of Democrats and 48 percent of Republicans said President Trump should wear a mask when meeting other people.

Those are very interesting numbers. Thanks for posting.
