Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas

[Hamphser]

but why is it that people who got the vaccine can still get infected?

i was asking my sister how things are when she got covid and seem she is okay and got vaccinated, the day she got the vaccine she felt tired and dizzy whenever she stands. the doctor says she is still going to come back in the next 6 months because the vaccine will not be potent by that time. so another injection for her again. her whole life i guess she has to keep injecting vaccines. the only consolation is that she can now go walk and go to the beach.

The efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine is 95%. That means that there is a small chance of getting infected, even if you had two doses of the vaccine. But even if someone gets infected after getting fully vaccinated, the chances that the infection would result in death is near zero. And unless you guys have another, better option, we need to get vaccinated. And regarding the booster dose, Yes. After 12 months, we need to get a booster shot. Once again, unless there is a better option, we have no other choice.

Majority would really be ending up on that kind of mindset as we dont have any choice and with desperation we would really be ending up on getting vaccination because we do really mind of about securing our self and even with having efficacy is on the high side but it wouldnt really give out assurance for you not to get infected.

How we do wish in getting into those normal days where we are spared of mask and face shield.Dont know if such thing would be effective
and wouldnt put up any risk on worsening the situation.

Lets just hope that this would really be the start on going into those normal days that we do have.

It's too early to implement this the whole world is not yet out of the wood yet, the virus is still mutating, there are reports of the new variant of the virus and it could still infect even if the person is already fully vaccinated and can have a severe symptoms, and if this happens there will be a new wave of infection, by wearing the mask and following the health protocol we are safe and can stop infection this is not the right time to relax.

But this vaccine is what we're really waiting to be able to give ourselves, our health the immune system that could fight against the harmful effect of this virus. I guess there's nothing wrong if fully individuals now spared in the casinos as long as the casino institution or casino business building may only allowed to enter their premises all people who are fully vaccinated because if this isn't like this then we'll be worried to thosw gambler who are not yet fully vaccinated coz i felt that they were the one who will deprive in this situation.

Do we know or is there evidence that everyone who enters a casino building is vaccinated?
and what I'm worried about is that even though the rules are required to carry a letter or solid proof that everyone who enters has been vaccinated whether it's true or can be faked just to get into the casino, there is a possibility that something like that could happen.
because what I know is that the results of the covid test can still be faked only for personal interests because many smart people can do anything just for personal gain.
Even though you have been vaccinated, there is nothing wrong with following health protocols before the number of infected becomes very low and the vaccination program is carried out evenly.

Vaccines is the only hope that we have right now, and with the desperation like what you have said, people who are wishing to have their normal life back will hurrying up to take those shots.

Accuracy like that is really far better and most of us who at first are afraid will now have a wider views in regards to having that vaccines.

Is best to risk now than wait for this virus to hit you first and suffer, worse die becuase of this pandemic.

Some would really be mindful on taking a shot because of the side effects and not really minding about being safe from covid-19.

Some are still observing if its really effective and doesnt impose some side effects then that might be the time they would consider to take a shot.

Even myself do still wait up for those factors before i do consider on taking a shot.

It's the casino's choice if they want to implement this, as long as it is compliant to health protocol and the majority of people in that area are already vaccinated, they can create herd immunity in that area but they should ready to quick their decision if there are another wave of attack, the virus is mutating and the vaccine in our system might not keep up with a new mutation.

[xenon131]

The mask helps me to hide the emotions on my face especially when I'm ace-high so I would wear it even after being vaccinated. Luckily, at the moment,  all casinos are in favor of masks, so, why should I not  wear the mask that could potentially  give me a little bigger chance in my gambling?

[el kaka22]

I do not get this obsession with being maskless. I mean why do people want to remove their mask so much? What is the purpose of a mask? It is to prevent either you getting covid or you spreading covid, that is the only reason right? So if I am wearing a mask there is a big chance that I will be safe or others will be safe from me, that's something I love to do, I would do that for years if it means I would be saving others or myself from death.

Why are we rushing into being maskless, why do people want it so much? I get that some people find it "uncomfortable" but let's be honest, those people would be the first ones to wear it, people who do not mind it are not the reason, people who do not want it are the reason we have laws to mask people anyway. It's weird, you tell someone "would you wear a mask to prevent yourself or others from dying" and they reply with no, what type of people are these?

Uncomfortable is the right word. Specially during summer. I have to wear mask all the time while working. After 10-15 minutes my face start to sweat. This is very annoying. I try to force myself to wipe the sweat with napkin but not with hand. But from time to time I wipe it with my hand - and who know how many bacterias are there. There is a chance that there is covid on my palm and I'm doing even worse by rubbing it to my face. Just try to wear mask for a whole day and tell how you feel.

Compliant to health protocol? do you understand that even the vaccinated people are not 100% safe that they will not become a carrier or asymptomatic ? meaning yeah they are already safe from virus but the people around them?

they can create herd immunity in that area but they should ready to quick their decision if there are another wave of attack, the virus is mutating and the vaccine in our system might not keep up with a new mutation.

I think it's better if they will put specific area where those vaccinated that don't wear mask  will be positioned , and those who are not vaccinated and wearing mask will be on the other side so they will not be having any connection at all.

We can hide behind a mask so that no one will know our reaction to the current situations.
Maybe that helps poker players to hide their emotions that the opponent can see from the face.
A mask also helps us in the public area because we do not know who can infected others.
While the pandemic is not ended and there is no sign when it ends, it is better we still wear a mask for our protection.

I do not get this obsession with being maskless. I mean why do people want to remove their mask so much? ~

Some people have problems such as excessive sweating or difficulty breathing, not to mention chronic inflammatory airway disease. Therefore, wearing a mask is a very serious problem for them.

It seems to me the best solution for such people is to get vaccinated and get a vaccine passport to go to casinos and other public places without having to get discomfort.

In Russia and Ukraine, many people wear respirators with valves instead of standard medical masks.  

It is not prohibited.  Such respirators protect the person wearing them well from viruses.  However, they are very dangerous for the people around them.  Medical masks are dangerous too.  According to the instructions, they can be worn for no more than 2 hours.  

Then they need to be changed.  

However, these rules are often not followed.  The mask becomes the source of the spread of bacilli, bacteria and viruses ...

Fully vaccinated individuals can now play normally without any masks in the gambling casinos and at the same time it goes for both indoor and outdoor locations in Nevada. The decision was made on May 3.

The Board’s agents will not attempt to confirm vaccination status of patrons. Consequently, unless circumstances change, it is not practical for the Board to attempt to enforce a mask mandate tethered to an individual’s vaccination status.

As a whole the decision was made on May 13. Some licenses might be more restrictive as compared to the others.

I do feel like there is another reason for you guys to be vaccinated! You can actually experience normal casinos like before pandemic if you do wear the mask and follow the protocols.

It is so weird to read these. I can understand that casinos are losing a ton of money and probably most of them even going broke but in case you didnt know, even vaccinated people could spread COVID and there is no strong evidence as of yet to suggest otherwise. People who have got COVID once are still susceptible of getting COVID if they arent careful as well. So, now just because their business is drowning, they'd rather let another wave hit the masses and act in selfish manner to the extent of not even checking if people have been vaccinated or aren't wearing masks. Unbelievable.

I might be wrong with this but its one of their campaign programs.
They want to advertise these vaccines that is why they are doing things like this. Letting vaccinated people go to casinos. There are some who are giving away free foods for those vaccinated people.

On the other hand, I agree that even though you are vaccinated you can still get COVID19 but at a lower chance. We know how much of an impact this pandemic is to the gambling industry particularly in casinos that is why they are doing things like this. They know the risks of it though but hey "This is America" .

Actually, wearing a mask can make it hard to breathe, but we can not do anything except following the health protocol procedure. Even if we already vaccinated, wearing a mask still necessary because the virus is not going to end. Wearing a mask and vaccinated can help us prevent the virus, but we still need to take care of our health. As long as those people who come to the casino can take care of themselves, it is not a problem, but it is better if they are vaccinated before going to the casino or other public areas.

How will they confirm that the person visiting the casino is fully vaccinated ? Will they check their vaccinated proof ?
Secondly, vaccination does not mean that you cannot be effected by covid-19. Its only that you will have more chances of recovering if you got infected. I did not like this decision.

I think being vaccinated is going to become more and more important in many venues, simply because it will keep the business open. Large parts of vegas rely on the tightly confined hotels and casino games which supply tens of thousands of jobs to the area. If the last year and a half has taught us anything it should be that individual rights do not trump the livelihood of the general public. It's fine if you want to stay unvaccinated, but you are putting everyone else at risk including the emergency staff who will have to treat you against this highly very lethal and contagious virus that has killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world. The strongest performing countries are those who have a population willing to listen to science and accept protection which has been proven to quickly halt the spread even in variants.

There are stupid people out there and there is nothing we can do about that, all we can do is to take our precautions and i am not even confident to walk into a crowded place even now even though the situation is not that bad like in the past. But we have to take our precautions and vaccines does not help in either as there is a high chance of infection if you are exposed even if you are vaccinated

Why are we rushing into being maskless, why do people want it so much?

These stupid people are the reason why governments are forced to come out with strict rules and regulations.

we can't expect everyone to think of other's welfare as well as themselves. as we've seen, even vaccinated people are still prone to infection. so they are putting themselves to that kind of risk. so if they know those possible consequences, that's fine. but don't regret afterwards.
but it is good to know that the number of vaccinated population is increasing day by day. this will slowly help in recovering the economy owed to the impact of this pandemic. for sure, this is a once in a lifetime experience for most of us. we're only seeing this before in movies and now, we are actually experiencing this kind of pandemic.

[pilosopotasyo]

How exactly do people prove they are vaccinated?  With a W.H.O. (Traveler's) International Vaccination Certificate?  An online APP?  The article is a little thin on information only reporting that "the board" had made the announcement.

Here in our country, you'll get a certification that you are already vaccinated and it is certified by our health agency, you can bring it anywhere and it is honored it included a QR code to access the database and with the virus mutating and still spreading we are going to carry this certification every time we go out because it will become mandatory by every establishment and places that we are going to visit.

It's not an obsession nor being uncomfortable. There are people who struggle to breath with facemask and I have some known persons that deal with that. Here in our country, the vaccination rate is still low so those countries that already graduated in wearing facemask are so lucky.

And it's not that people decide for it. A non-mandatory of wearing masks is because there are no reported confirmed cases within a certain period of time or being lowered down to the point that can control it, while at the same almost 80-90% of the citizens are now being vaccinated. A good example is the country Israel. But prior to that, the protocol is so strict that everyone should wear a face mask.
