Starting this Friday, Nevada will again require that all casino employees and patrons mask up while indoors.

Sorry Las Vegas, the party is over.

Gee, if we only had a vaccine we could all take for free, we wouldn't have this problem.

What?

We HAVE it now, and millions refuse to take it?

How [insert pejorative adjective of your choice here]!

The real problem was saying vaccinated people could go without masks.

I guarantee you that nearly half those people maskless next to you at the casinos were unvaccinated who spit in the face of the honor system.

NY never lifted the mask mandate. NY'ers are smart enough to know honor systems are worthless.

No. The real problem is that vaccinated people didnt have to show their vaccination card.

Yes, same side of the coin.

People were expected to be on the honor system.

Businesses wanted to say, hey we are back to normal. Can't do that if you are checking vaccinated card proof at the door.

Completely asinine mandate as it once again gives a big fat mask exemption to smokers, vapers and cigar puffers.

You can’t look at me with a straight face and say “we are following the science”.

At least NJ got it right and banned smoking during the mask mandate.

Gaming control, Sisolak, SNHD…they are all hypocrites.

You can have another mask mandate. You can’t possibly offer an exemption to those blowing respiratory smoke thru the most crowded venues in Nevada…casinos.

Sisolak can stuff this mandate. He knows he’s a hypocrite, which is why he has ignored every request to comment on allowing smoking in casinos during this pandemic.

Problem is more that Delta is more transmissible and vaccine less effective against it, I think less than half as effective at preventing infection itself but effective in making it asymptomatic/not severe. So with the different variant combined with loosening behavior there is much more spread among the vaccinated with this variant as well and whatever models they’re using weren’t based on this variant. That latter part (increased asympomatic spread among vaccinated) isn’t really acknowledged with the focus (rightly) on focusing on the vax benefits.

No one ever thought the honor system would work, just was based on the math of the previous variants and perhaps assumed a slightly better vax rate.

Vaccinated people shouldn’t be punished for it imo, can’t really help people who don’t want it. This is just mixed messaging, feels like going backwards to concentrate on masks rather than vaxxing. Oh well, I guess I’ll be healthier by spending more time outside because of it.

Many casinos did not allow smoking at tables when masks were required. I expect that rule to return.

CDC says that they have discovered that the Delta Variant can be transmitted by vaccinated people even though the vaccination keeps the Delta variant virus at a low level in your body.

New guidance is for everyone in schools (K-12) to wear masks. Of course, the people in casinos are going to have to wear masks as well.

I told the story on DT that my wife was in a van with six vaccinated people and one unvaccinated person who had covid and every vaccinated person in that van now has covid, including my wife. That's why we're back to wearing masks, this thing was never over, they should never should have opened everything up again. I never believed it for a minute and it's why I never stopped the self quarantine.

I'm not surprised that we have to mask back up, since so many people won't get vaccinated.

The biggest problem is that people don't trust the federal gov. Especially blacks And to make it worse, the current president and his vice president said early on that they wouldn't trust the vaccine that was coming out because of Trump. They played politics with the vaccine and now we're paying the price.

The fact-checking columns, while usually pretty accurate, have bent over backwards to give Fauci a pass on this, saying that not enough was known about the virus at the time. Give me a break. The top disease expert in the U.S. advises not to wear a mask as a runaway virus is spreading globally? Even if you don't have hard evidence that masks work against a new disease, you freaking TAKE THAT PRECAUTION while waiting for the data. For the record, I was wearing a mask to the grocery store well before the top disease expert in the U.S. also realized that it's a good idea.

YES, Fauci and the Surgeon General both said masks didn't work early in the pandemic. Of course at the time, they had to say it. They knew that there weren't enough of the effective N95/KN95 masks to go around, and they knew that the surgical masks were worthless However, there was a massive shortage of the kind of masks that did work because the Chinese were already buying everything in sight and then sending them back to China. Fauci was trying to keep more of the effective masks available for the hospitals, so they had to propagate the lie that surgical masks and cloth masks worked. Consequently, even now, we have some idiots running around wearing ineffective surgical masks in order to protect themselves from a gain of function lab escaped virus.

They should never have shut down in the first place if they weren't willing to go all the way with it. I said that from the beginning. Of course, I opposed all Government ordered shutdowns.

People are going to die. Some of Covid. 100% of people will die from something.

Masks apply to casinos. I don't see how this discussion can both be political and not political. It's clearly an issue where the politics can be related to gambling, in my opinion. For example, abortion access does not have anything to do with casinos, but Covid-19 does.

Abortion access can be related to casinos.

Pretend Sally from Mississippi is 25, single, and loves to visit Las Vegas at least two or three times a year.

She gets pregnant, cannot get an abortion, and over her objection delivers a child; no fan of adoption she "makes the best of it" and keeps the kid.

The unplanned newborn so disrupts her world that she can no longer visit Las Vegas, at least not for a couple of years.

The Las Vegas casinos and businesses which she previously patronized are denied her patronage purely for political reasons, i.e. Mississippi's politically erected abortion roadblocks.

I believe part of his reasoning is that he didn’t want a “run” on masks…thereby causing a problem for hospitals and places that truly had to have masks. I don’t believe it was all “they don’t make a difference”. The data wasn’t there and he didn’t want countries running out of supply in places where masks were absolutely needed.

You could start by providing ONE. Your quote was:
Quote: Keyser

the current president and his vice president said early on that they wouldn't trust the vaccine

What Biden and Harris said, even according to your own sources, is that they wouldn't trust TRUMP, not that they wouldn't trust the VACCINE. About the vaccine, they expressed SKEPTICISM if it seemed that the Trump administration was interfering with the science, which is reasonable, given the administration's extensive record of suppressing scientists. They said consistently that they trust the science and the scientists. The claim you made, the way you made it, isn't supported by the evidence.

Quote: Keyser

and they knew that the surgical masks were worthless...Consequently, even now, we have some idiots running around wearing ineffective surgical masks...

What the science *actually* says is that surgical masks are the most effective kind of masks at preventing droplet transmission right after N-95.

Now that I see that you spread false info and that your sources don't match your claims, I won't bother checking any of your future sources on any topic, or even reading any of your posts.

Just kidding (-:


Whether or not you believe the masks and social distancing actually helped/help, it at least gave/gives people the perception that it was/is safe enough to start opening places up and not be in full lockdown, so perhaps people need to appreciate those little masks and social distancing rules they came up with.

Honestly, I don't care, wear masks, don't wear them, get vaccinated, don't get vaccinated, keep it locked down, or have massive orgies in the streets.

I just hope the vaccines and whatever other policies they have in place keep me, my wife, and the people I care about protected and safe.

I had yet to see your warning post, but I should get one for my comments in my post if they are getting one.

If my warning was not clear enough, I'll agree to your request with a caveat. 3+3 split 3 ways is 2 days each.

Anyone else want a rest?

Did someone with some balls finally take over OD's account?

I just read a highly entertaining story about folks in Missouri who have taken to wearing disguises when getting their vaccines because they are afraid their neighbors will think less of them for getting it.
HTF did we get to this point?

Noted.
I'll remind all, that we don't do politics here. Take such controversy to DT or elsewhere.

Please explain why you ask that? Where do you see a double standard?

I have just seen these two nuggets on the internet. Can anyone verify whether they are true:

-74% of cases in recent Massachusetts outbreak were already-vaccinated people

- Pfizer CEO says that vaccine effectiveness drops to 84% after 6 months
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Can't speak for the second one, but the first one seems about right. I think you might be missing the point, though. Of the vaccinated people in the outbreak, I don't think there were any deaths and few hospitalized. 97% percent of hospitalizations and deaths are unvaccinated. Vaccinated people can still get this highly contagious variant but almost none of them will have a bad outcome.

Perhaps you could link the actual "article" so that it might be vetted. Is it possible that some internet "articles" are misinformation? The CDC info has recently stated that over164M people have been vaccinated and only 6,000+ of those have been documented to have been infected.
