All I know is this Summer online series better not be a total replacement for the WSOP. Only players from 2 states are allowed to enter the events, and of course, elsewhere around The World. Swear to God if there isn't a partial series in the Fall I'm gonna lose my marbles. Plus, I'll move even further right to the Libertarian Party.

Reading through the old posts in this thread, this seems like the most astute and prescient take so far:

Forget about the WSOP happening this summer other than online events. Not a chance, unless the politicians and bean counters really don't care how many people get sick and die. In the fall, the virus is expected to be back, so even a late summer or fall reschedule makes little sense.
WSOP 2021 is in jeopardy too, unless they plan for late summer or fall. Even the 2021 summer olympics may not actually happen. This all may seem extreme, and it is, but not out of the question. This pandemic is unprecedented in modern times, but based on mathematical and scientific models these extreme fat tails are realistic.
The sobering reality most policy makers for business and politics don't want to discuss is that large scale gatherings such as live poker tournaments, concerts, sports (with fans in the house), conventions, theater, festivals etc. will not be completely safe from coronavirus until late summer 2021 or even fall 2021, after the virus has run it's natural course and a vaccine has been developed and made available to billions of people. This will likely take approx. 18 months or longer. This is scientific reality, beyond socio-political economic interests, and whatever somebody posts on YouTube .
Until there is a vaccine, and 60%+ herd immunity, one must be willing to risk getting the virus in order to gather in a large crowd. Some people will certainly be willing to take the risk. Others will not. Gov't and business will certainly open venues way before the scientific and medical community thinks it will be safe, because gov't and business will value gov't and business over human life. Same as it ever was (but higher stakes).
Personally, I won't be attending any events with large crowds until I see empirical evidence that it is relatively safe. I'm no guinea pig. Let the bold and fearless take the risks first. That will mean letting a few months of large events take place without significant outbreaks before going there myself.

I WANT it to happen, but barring warp speed vaccine release and distribution, it just seems like a logistical impossibility.

In a normal universe today would have been the 27 --> 9 day at the main event, which is usually one of the most dramatic days of the MTT year. It's a damn shame. F***in' Corona!
Reading through the old posts in this thread, this seems like the most astute and prescient take so far:
We're already almost halfway through July and the situation is only amplifying in much of the USA, so I'd be betting against the hypothetical fall WSOP unless Caesars can come up with something very clever to make it possible.
