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

 


I was just there, had buffets all the time and no prolems. I did wipe down my whole room at both hotels I stayed at with lysol wipes. bring your own, bery hard to find in LV and hand sanitizer was really hard to find. wiped down my machines as I played too.

We went last night to our local casino. Saw no one with a mask. We do not have a buffet, just sit down restaurants. I used my hand sanitizer after viewing the menu. Did nothing to the machines, but did use the hand sanitizer when I quit playing. Then washed hands with soap and water when I got home. 

My concern is the money? How do you clean it?

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 am spraying antiseptic on the screen and buttons.  Wiping my hands with it.  Washing hands frequently.  Playing BJ on tables where I don't touch the cards.
