Give the WSOP 2020 the prestige that it deserves.

Give as many players as possible the opportunities to achieve their gold bracelet and money payoff dreams.

Maximize health safety by KEEPING CROWDS SMALL.

The obvious actions:

1. Cancel all the small and medium buy-in live events that attract the biggest crowds.

2. Quadruple the number of online gold bracelet events to replace the above live events.

3. Keep the naturally small participation events, namely, the super high rollers ($25,000 buy-in or higher) in place.

Finally:

4. Hold two "Main Events":

- the online $10,000 Main Event

- the live $100,000 Main Event

That's right. TWO Main Events!!!

Withhold 10% of each of the above 2 events and use the money as the price pool to pay for the heads up match that the two Main Event "Champions" will play several months later that would determine the "Undisputed WSOP Main Event Champion of 2020".

All of my suggestions in this post should help ensure that WSOP 2020 would go on as scheduled; that the crowds would stay small; give the players many opportunities to win their dream gold bracelet; give the WSOP possibly big time main stream media exposure and possibly have it serve as a role model for how all big events can be run during a crisis that otherwise would have paralyzed many other big events.
Right now, 87 live gold bracelet events are scheduled while 14 online gold bracelet events are scheduled. The WSOP organizers need to reverse this distribution ASAP.

I propose: 87 ONLINE gold bracelet events and 14 LIVE gold bracelet events, with the latter restricted to the low turnout super high rollers of 25k buy in or higher.

Say someone gets removed from a 2020 Main Event table in the middle of a hand because they are coughing and sneezing.

Would it be insensitive to mention all the dead money in the pot?

If it becomes scientifically proven that high heat kills the CoronaVirus THEN the Las Vegas economy will experience its biggest boom ever once people EXODUS from wherever it is they come from and flee to Las Vegas for safety. This would also make the peak of summer event WSOP 2020 the biggest event in all the world, bigger than the Olympics which will shrink in comparison.

This is just stupid. very small market of people who would risk the travel to Vegas, to sit in a hotel room and play on online tournament.

Prob also a small market of people who travel there to do this even with no risk.

If wsop adds online events they will be a fraction of a fraction of what the live events would have been.

No one under 30 has died in South Korea so far which is several thousand cases from that group.

South Korea seems to be very aggressive in early and thorough testing so they're surely catching many mild or asymptomatic cases while other countries are only testing people who show up at the hospital with pneumonia symptoms who have already been sick for 4-7+ days. The first community spread case in the US didn't have their test come back positive until they'd already been hospitalized for 12 days for example. I think I heard the second USA death didn't have their test come back positive until after they'd already died.

Portugal confirmed two cases today, however. One had been in Italy and the other to Spain.
Last I heard, Bosnia, the "cleanliness capital of Europe", still had no cases of coronavirus.

5 dead in Washington State now.

Edit:
They just added another, It's 6 now.

U have to wash your hands for 20 sec. With hot and cold water I do. I don't know what kills this virus batter but I will find out.

Talk to people with 2 meters distance.

Avoid people with masks.

Do exercise to level up it immune system.

Don't do too much silly stuff.

And keep praying.

You shouldn't be in the risk group if you maintain a level of immunity.

"95% Britains claim they wash every time after the bathroom although only about 10% actually did"

Bad science here since people will talk a lot but not do.

"Billions" of western doctors, who you have observed are all unhealthy ?

To quote a wise poster, "My friend, this is just laughable and plain wrong", even if you come from a family of doctors, however unhealthy or healthy they may be.

How many doctors have you met? And how many of them do you consider healthy looking?

My friend this is just reality. Out doctors treat the human body like a machine, like a car that just needs new parts, new pills. This isn't even their fault they habe to operate like this. This is how the industry of health is set up.
Burn money. It's like in 1700 if you stunk you just put on parfum you don't wash.

Modern medicine is both good and bad. But they rarely fight the root of the illness rather than just trying to mask it with new medicine and parts.

More lucrative. Why kill the cow if you can milk it so to say. Money rules, don't get fooled.

A friend of mine is in Vegas for a few days, went to the Golden Knights game last night. Felt pretty sick this morning. Heading to urgent care. Crossing fingers that its food poisoning.
03-02-2020 , 04:47 PM
There have not even been one billion doctors in the history of the world -- western or otherwise.

My friend good to see you not attacking me.

I would argue there has been one billion in the history.
But my point was to exaggerate to get my point across.

Simple Rick said Chinese doctors are unhealthy and everyone knows it.

This is just plainly wrong because a) they are simply not more unhealthy b) they don't lack education

I would take any Chinese doctor over a western doctor unless I have a fracture and need surgery.
Why? Bc they are more capable, less arrogant, and overall more healthy.

That leaves the question why are they dying from this thing?

March 2nd report that the Wildhorse Casino (Pendleton, Oregon) is temporarily closing after one of its workers tested "presumptive positive" for the virus.

Doesn’t sound like corona virus at all.
Takes 2-14 days to notice symptoms and the symptoms aren’t anything like food poisoning.

That fact you used the word billions in your other post, your credibility is shot.

Plus working 18-20+ hours a day for weeks and months at a time wears the body out.

There's zero chance these doctors are working bankers hours.

I don't think it was a joke as I hear it often.
This is the typical comment that comes from our arrogance as the westeners. We have all the money and industry becuause we capitalized of all nations from war so our medicine men must be the best of the best right? No not even closely is that true. I think about this 24/7 because it's in my family.

For acute stuff yes, it might be true. For everything else not remotely close to the truth.


Even with all the exposure to the virus wouldn't you think medical experts have some way of surviving this?

I think they are downplaying the effects it has, so the population doesn't panic and it doesn't come to all markets and businesses to stop operating.


Scroll down to the end, 3 doctors died in one day!
