When do you plan to host live poker again? (1 Viewer)

If not a vaccine I’d be OK hosting a small game if there was a reliable and effective treatment for COVID-19. The way the situation currently is, it’s kinda a crapshoot if you get this and have any underlying conditions and are over 50 years old.

IMHO, you don't need to be over 50 to have complications from this. A 32 year old has already died from it.

I'm a 41 year old diabetic person, have had pneumonia, caught swine flu in 09, and have had 3 bouts with bronchitis that have left me permanently impaired. I've never felt 100%. Always 97%, or that kind of feeling.

I'm scared to catch it. There are also unknown factors such as, why it infects certain hosts in more menacing ways than another host with the same kind of conditions. We don't have a full understanding of the scope of this virus and why it infects certain people the ways it does. Narrowing it to a certain age group only worsens the "crapshoot". It will certainly be a crapshoot as long as there is no proven treatment or a vaccine.

To each their own. My father has diabetes and is much the same as me but older. God forbid I start hosting poker, become some freaky asymptomatic carrier and kill my dad inadvertently. If I'm not a statistic waiting to happen, he certainly is and my mom after him.

It's been tough to be forced to work. I've used Vacation, stat holiday time, excuses like my knee hurts, I don't feel well, and the like to get out of work. That said, I'm back to work this weekend and I can't get out of it.

I LOVE poker and chipping but F@&K poker and hosting until I can be sure it's not going to endanger my life of my family. I'm me though, just one person. Each person will have a view on how to handle this.

FWIW, I think you've got the right view. But no reason why we can't continue to collect chippies while we're waiting for the right environment to start playing live again.

Yes sir! Still into the hobby. Despite my best efforts to stop buying or selling, im still immersing myself in the hobby. Still want to run some giveaways, and enjoy this site as I always do.
 
Outdoor (i.e. balcony) poker possibly possible :D here by the end of May, God willing.
The virus will die on chips after 48 hours. The only true danger is sneezing.
 
Really not sure. Lots of questions, and not a lot of answers right now. Would definitely need more accessibility to testing, better tracking, and treatment/vaccine.

Playing at the casino, large tourneys (attending WSOP), traveling to Vegas to play poker: not until there is a vaccine, herd immunity, or effective treatments for the virus.
Basically, when concerts, sporting events return, and life is back to “normal”.

Most of the of the local home game tourneys run with 2-3 tables. Not sure how comfortable I am attending these until there is a serious drop off in cases, better testing and tracking. Right now, I don’t really feel comfortable having 12-18 players in my house. So maybe these types of games don’t come back until fall? 2021? Who knows at this point?
Maybe could I host a small cash game in my backyard? Would that be safe? Complicating my situation is that I’m continuing to go into work at a hospital, and my wife just graduated from Pharmacy School. We’re prime candidates to pick it up at our workplaces.
I miss live poker terribly, and even more miss my poker friends (especially the local CO PCF crew). But like Poker Zombie pointed out, I would have real tough time, if I found out that one of my players contracted the virus at one of my games, and passed.
