Re: [vpFREE] Anyone taking health precautions when playing?

 

A mask is only good if you have an infection that you don't want to pass to others. You would need a full on respirator to filter out the ultra small viruses. From everything I've read, wash your hands frequently and don't touch your face unless you have disinfected your hands first. 

Regards

A.P.

I'm getting ready to book my first casino trip in 5 months (still prepping our house  for sale and for the move from GA to MA).

So, I'm curious how actively players are engaging in against COVID-19 (much less, seasonal colds this spring).  I generally break out the hand sanitizer around this time of year and liberally apply it to machine buttons before playing.  At minimum, I'm considering upping that game to latex gloves.

Obviously masks are in vogue lately.  Until US incidence spikes up a bit, I'm inclined to forego that precaution -- guess I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this would be "overkill" for now and focusing my attention on limiting surface contact.  But I guess I'll keep a mask at the ready in the event that someone is actively coughing (it seems impossible to avoid "smoker's hack" in the casino).

I look to completely avoid buffets.  (And with at least one LV confirmed case today, I would think casinos would find it most prudent to shut down buffets until this risk has mostly passed.)  That's not to say that full service restaurants are sterile environments ... but at least I look for some daily screening of workers who'll come in touch with my food.

I'm opening discussion with an intent that there be no alarmist posts; just looking for some thoughtful and reasoned commentary.
