Why?
I work retail and have 100s of people go by me daily and we aren’t getting sick at some high level. The numbers and statistics show this is nonsense.. I’ll be going out asap
This, right here! I second this!

According to projections by the end of May, pretty much all of America, and much of the rest of the world, will be at or near the end of the covid-19 related deaths from this initial wave.
I'm wondering what measures, if any, do you plan to use to try and stay safe when returning to our community pool rooms. I expect that the rooms will have some sort of social distancing guidelines but what about us as individuals?
Are you planning on doing anything above and beyond what the pool rooms do in an effort to stay safe?
best,

Great thread. As noted, social distancing can, and should be observed during a pool match. No hand shakes or high fives should be exchanged.
As Robin noted, cleaning the balls and tables between customers will make a big difference. I also suspect that the rack, the bridge, and if you use one, the house cue will all present a potential threat. Use new chalk where possible. Carry disinfectant wipes with you when you go to the pool hall, and after putting on some disposable latex gloves, wipe all of these down before using them. Then. as long as you are comfortable with it, remove the gloves, as it's probably not desirable to wear them during the play.
I think it would be a good idea for someone like WPA, BCA, or even APA, to establish and publish recommendations for mitigation of the Corona related risks associated with playing pool, recommendations that could be posted at the front desk of every poolroom.
Nice to hear that most are thinking about all this.
I’d like to see you take your time coming back to pool halls, Stu.
You and Fran Crimi are in an area of concern.
Maybe let some of the places raring to go be your canaries in the coal mine.
I fear a second wave.....and my area has been safe...don’t know anybody who has it.
....but I’m respecting the problem....been a gambler all my life...but this gamble affects
other people’s lives...I don’t have a right to gamble with theirs.

Tell me where you work so I can avoid it.
My buddy works at Wal - Mart he is a door guard in Blue Vest, his store is a Super Center.
They know how many staff are in the store at any time, and allow people in so at no time no more then 1,000 people are in the store at any time.
Guess that is a lot of people, so I would say you should avoid most Wal - Marts, Home Depot's, and Lows's.
Based upon your person safety requirements.
the 6 foot idea was just arbitrary way of getting some space between people. it was never a limit for catching the virus. just lessons your chances the farther you are away.
all the evidence suggests its out to 20 something feet if a person coughs or sneezes your way. and if you walk into it.
and 6 feet doesnt work in an enclosed space where you are exposed for a period of time rather than a quick second. and an air system can carry it around the room.
the whole reason we dont know a lot of people that have it is that most observed the quarantine part.

Does your 'ol lady know your priority list?? I totally get it bro.![]()
Yes,
I too agree -
I am out everyday -
i encounter NO ONE WHO HAS BEEN SICK WITH THIS VIRUS-
And I DO ASK PEOPLE TOO-
ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILES SICK- NONE "
I frequent the local health food supermarket and ask those folks-
anyone sick-
no"
Anytime you drive your car you are taking a chance of dying. Thousands die of the flu every year. Heart disease, alcoholism kill hundreds of thousands every year. Most people don’t eat anything even close to resembling a healthy diet.
The reality is we are all going to die. Nobody had any more fear of this than the regular flu until the media told you to be afraid. Pathetic.
If you want to live in fear that is certainly your right. Stay home. I won’t.
