yeah it should die off within 5 hours or something but some strains of sars are known to live for 28-30days so who knows.

i feel safe tho.

Please continue with updates, if not daily, then perhaps hourly.

You might want to have a look at a calendar.

Gosh, it's so simple. Someone should have consulted you from the beginning, and this would all be over by now.

Great. But it's not SARS, so I don't know why that is relevant. We should probably just stick with the fatality rates we already have, and what the professionals are suggesting they could be.

What sucks is that over time kids may be the biggest distributors since they don’t die from it and very few are detected/diagnosed

Whoever created this virus knew wtf they were doing

will do.

Adobe cancels Las Vegas conference amid coronavirus fears

"Software company Adobe said it will not host its upcoming Adobe Summit at The Venetian this month citing the spread of coronavirus.

The annual summit, taking place March 29 through April 2, was expected to bring about 22,000 guests to the Las Vegas Strip, but it will now be held online."

“Over the past few weeks, we have been closely monitoring and evaluating the situation around COVID-19 to ensure we are taking the necessary measures to protect the health and wellbeing of Adobe Summit attendees,” Chakravarthy said. “As a result, we have made the difficult but important decision to make Adobe Summit 2020 an online event this year and cancel the live event in Las Vegas.”

Adobe joins a list of other tech firms like Google and Facebook that have opted to change or cancel their upcoming conferences in the U.S. over concerns around coronavirus."

Poker Players are sick in the head. No way will wsop be canceled or postponed.

Go bet your roll 12:1 then

I would take a bet that it will not be canceled at 1/1... 1k

I can see this going either way (and optimistically lean towards it going on), but just love this post coming minutes after another one about Adobe cancelling a 22,000 visitor event.

Maybe the WSOP can go full circle and we will have only a handful of participants turn up who don't want to sit around a table together for too long, so they just vote on who's the best player.

Kings casino in Rozvadov cancelled the italian event and stopped accepting reservations from italian players, looks like.

Their announcement is in italian, so could only understand part of it through google translate.

Erm, yes you are right about the calendar. My bad.

It's a lot like sars. So much that it is even called Sars Covid 2. The fatality rate with sars1 was 9.6%. Everything about the virus is exactly just like sars (Sars 1) was. This is sars2. Which leads to the question why they didn't develop a working vaccine in the 17 years they had.
Oh right they had to blow some money on mars missions and wars.


Here is a timeline of sars viruses:
Outbreak Virus type Deaths
2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak SARS-CoV 774
2012 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus outbreak MERS-CoV Over 400
2015 Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak in South Korea MERS-CoV 36
2018 Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak MERS-CoV 41
2019–20 coronavirus outbreak SARS-CoV-2 At least 3,118edit

This is 2nd hand information from another thread but apparently someone just got kicked out of the Venetian poker room for refusing to take off a coronavirus-type mask.

No, it is not "exactly like" SARS-1:

I knew as soon as I typed it this could lead to conspiracy. You are right, but it is pretty close to exactly the same. Unfortunately you are right, it is not exactly the same, as it evolutionized.

Ok now with no mistakes: it is the not the same, it is the more evolutionized sars 1. Everything remains the same as with sars 1, only now it became tougher to beat.

I have no expert knowledge on when the infection rate will peak in the US. I picked some random months as examples. FWIW, experts advising the British government say that their best guess for my country is that the virus will peak at the end of this month (March). They also warned that - at its peak - we might have 20% of working age people all being ill at once. It's going to put a huge strain on the NHS, which is why they are trying to slow the spread in order to put some slack into the system. (For the economy's sake, we can't afford to have everyone being ill at once. Also for the economy's sake, we can't just shut down whole cities. The government has to try and get the balance right).

The Fed has just lowered interest rates 50 basis points so the problem is now solved.

It's interesting how the U.S. is just refusing to test people to keep their reported numbers low. lol

China being the most transparent and well prepared and the U.S. being inept and trying to cover up their inadequacies. This is like opposite world.

I'd rather make Mike Postle earn it.

To the Mods:

Why don't we add a Poll to this thread asking poker players if the Corona Virus will alter their plans to attend WSOP this Summer (if it's not canceled)?

Something like:
Definitely wont attend
Probably wont attend
May attend but will cancel travel reservations (air/hotel) in the meantime
Probably will attend
Definitely will attend

Reuters: Japan could be allowed to postpone Olympics to end of year, minister says

From the WHO report:

Evidence suggests both that children are less likely to catch the disease and less likely to experience severe symptoms when them do. The reason is currently a mystery to one and all.

yes. would be interesting to see
