People often debate the pros & cons of online v. live. I don't recall catching a deadly virus ever being part of the debate, but the times they are a-changin'.

We will communicate and play games over the Internet. Home infection with Coronavirus drops to 0% I don't think it's a big deal , and there's no need to panic. Yes, many things will become more expensive. In the game plan. Because it will be harder to work.

There is no need to panic if people take the advice provided by their governments and health officials. Taking work off is not always an option for some people, especially if they live paycheque to paycheque. BUT, if people are able to stay home and then DO IT! :)

Just my 2 cents...

Paul Phua has an idea regarding a virus-free environment for the upcoming Triton Super High Roller Series in Montenegro.

Do you think this would work?

The only reason I don't think this is a good idea is because they have just come out and said the virus is communicable before you begin to show signs of being ill. It would only take one person who has just start being communicable when they walk in the room and everyone will be at risk.

You are very correct, but they are ambien, since in several countries there is a quarantine in some poker rooms, it is reactivating since several people return to the game today after many years. I saw more than two hundred thousand people on pokerstar
