    US Books : Predict date for No Mask required?

    Sign in most places that I see, Read: No Mask if fully vaccinated ". Other signs ignore that and just say: "mask strongly encouraged". These are malls and different restaurant type places in my area. A few say nothing about mask wearing, yet employees are wearing them.
    Casinos and sportsbooks likely enforce whatever they "require".

    to a point , but for me wearing a mask kinda kills my attitude in a gambling atmosphere... But if the places were very crowded, then maybe think differently

    They are very Lax. at the OTB's when guys use self betting terminals half dont wear at the casino's many slot players take off when playing and @ tables and poker people take off and out back on constantly. If its wear the mask or not go i choose to go. Only reason I got the shot basically so I can go to Bulls games without doing a covid test 48 hours prior to the games


    EDIT this is Illinois where it is required

    There isn't much uniformity. On Dover Downs Hotel and Casino website, it says table game players no longer must wear face "shields".. But it talks about mask in other places being mandatory. Am I to assume they required at one time a MASK PLUS a Shield? Plus there is no seating in the sportsbook, unless changed in the last 48 hours..

    Virginia won't have their first land built casino/book ready for play until 2023.... Already approved.

    People are still wearing masks JFC. I’m glad I live in Tennessee. I haven’t owned a mask for months. Surprisingly we don’t have bodies piling up on the street or hospitals over run either.

    Exactly. Tired of these pussies complaining about having a piece of cloth over their face that might save their lives. Also, man up and get a shot to protect your loved ones.

    I am fully vaccinated ..Wearing a mask is to protect the ones around you from YOUR possible cough or sneeze.

    My post was not directed toward you specifically. I'm also fully vaccinated and awaiting my booster. BTW, the mask also protects you from OTHERS that may be infected.

    Tks. It's still a mask world. Had to take my car into the dealer this morning for a check engine light on.. There were 26 people in their huge waiting room. 24 had masks on. Of course all the employees as well did.

    Agree.

    It sucks in any social setting.

    Plus my hearing isn't top notch and it's made me realize that I must watch people's mouth to hear more than I knew.

    Staying away from the political side of this ENTIRELY, I just wonder if the masks will disappear in the next year or two. Nightly local news reports show cases are dropping, but I don't see masks dropping. I won't feel comfortable going to a casino where masks are required regardless of how LAX they may be. Some people are difficult to understand without a mask when talking.
