$1,000,000 One Drop Pic — Covid Precautions

[Ryback_feed_me_more]

Wow, young Vaughn is a millionaire?

That I didn't know.

Anyway, N95 Ike may have accidentally backed into something semi-correct. Right now there's a new COVID variant ripping through the US population, called JN.1. Like all other Omicron variants, it is not dangerous to those under 65. With Ike being 38, clearly his life and long term health are not in danger.

However, it is spreading like wildfire at the moment. Anecdotally, I know tons of people who caught COVID in the past 3 weeks, including my mom (who thankfully experienced a mild version, despite being in the age group where modern COVID actually does kill people.)

For the past several months, almost nobody I knew personally had COVID. Now it seems everyone is getting it.

So if you're spending many hours every day in a casino (very easy to get COVID there) like Ike does, that awful N-95 does help prevent getting sick. And the last thing Ike wants is to be entering a $1m buyin tournament and then getting really sick in the middle.

So at times like these, I don't blame him for wearing the N-95, though I hate masks and refuse to wear them while playing poker. I'd rather just not play (or play online).

However, I should note that he is mainly wearing the mask because he's part of the left wing COVID panic cult, which is why he wears it in winners photos. He is so proud of himself for "tilting MAGA" while wearing it.

The guy is very intelligent, but has zero common sense when it comes to anything political. Mind you, he was the one who encouraged poker pros to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund in 2020, which bailed out rioters, and then later bailed out pedos, rapists, and murderers.

Problem is Druff Ike was doing this shit at WSOP this summer too. Hes either doing this out of some sort of mental illness situation or just to tilt players at the table and hide tells.

The problem with today's maskers isn't that they mask.

It's that they also want to force you to mask.

I haven't encountered this at all. I masked up early on because I had family that was dealing severe health issues. That family member moved out of state and now I don't wear a mask. I see people in the store wearing them and I don't think twice. Honestly, I'm probably going to mask up during the flu season to avoid that shit. I don't care if anyone wears a mask or if they don't, it's up to them. What happened to mind your own business?

I believe the problem comes down to percieved hypocrisy on both sides of the political spectrum. The left screams my body my choice regarding abortions and then demands everybody get a shot thats now been proven to be ineffective and in fact detrimental to some who got it. While the GOP goes all life is precious and then pulls the my body my choice out its ass on the flipside regarding Covid.. Both political sides are hypocrites medically speaking.

How sick are the JN1 slobs getting? Mild or what, hasn’t really hit here much other than some co workers who travelled for thanksgiving, I assume it will spread after Christmas.

I used to occasionally brag about shit on Skatz to piss people off, but yes, I'd say there is a pretty decent chance that my net worth is higher than anyone's that posts here now.

As public sentiment is no longer behind mandatory masking, the forever maskers don't hassle people anymore. But they're definitely thinking it very loudly.

Why do I care what they think? I don't. However, I can guarantee these same people will be demanding mandatory masking again if a problematic COVID variant springs up again. I know this because I've seen it all over social media (and even some discussion in Los Angeles city government) when fast-spreading but otherwise typical Omicron variants appear, such as the one we have right now.

Take Ike, for example. If he simply said, "I wear an N95 because I play very high buyin tournaments and don't want to get sick in the middle, whether COVID or something else", and then took off the ugly mask for the winners photos, he wouldn't get many detractors. But for him it's at least 50% a social statement. Ike would definitely force you to wear a mask in public if it were up to him.

JN1 is definitely no worse than the other 2022-23 COVID variants. In fact, everyone I know with it didn't get very sick, and it ranged between coldlike and flulike. More coldlike.

makes sense viruses tend to mutate into weaker shit as time goes on and I believe arent cold viruses in the same class as covid or something.

I believe Joe Rogan has had one big name poker pro on his podcast for the entire run. JRE #526 July 23, 2014….Isaac Haxton. Think they would probably go in a different direction nowadays.
