this disease is still in force and we must take care not to contract this disease, a pity that this player has given positive to covid, hopefully he can recover soon, we must always take care of ourselves, this disease is still going on.

it is a pity that this disease is still in force damaging the world, now the most we should do is to take care of ourselves as much as we can so that this disease can go away, we should always be responsible for what we do.

It is very difficult to control when they have not been with mask and also have had meetings previously, I think this disease spreads much faster than others, that's why you should always take care not to infect others.

even if you do not need a mask, you should be more aware and protect yourself so as not to infect others, if we want to eradicate this disease we must support each other, but when we get sick we must isolate ourselves so as not to infect others.

Therein lies the problem, it is a bit complicated with respect to these games, where they are always in direct contact with other players, plus the chips are also a means of contagion, which is why you have to take measures before entering a poker tournament.

most of the planet has realized that this Covid 19 is a planetary prank and they continue to lie about this non-existent virus. These poker players have the flu or maybe pneumonia, but not Covid. It is my opinion and the opinion of many people and i maintain it.

G'day mates Wow it truly saddens me to see that WSOP is being ruined for played by Covid 19. It just seems this damn pandemic is never going to f'ing end. people just keep gathering together in large groups in indoor venues an then they get all confused when more people get infected with Covid 19. I mean really people, it is not rocket science, wake up!

What matters is for them to become healthy again . They can play tourneys all year , even if they miss the wsop entirely or most tourneys of the series . Also they have to protect their family . Its been almost 3 years and still we are talking about COVID . I hope this comes to an end once and for all very soon

G'day mates
well I think it is obvious that until people stop gathering together in large groups in indoor venues that the Covid pandemic is never going to go away. They will also keep telling people that Covid 19 numbers are on the rise so they can keep making Billions of Dollars on vaccines. I mean really people, it is not rocket science, wake up!

I had my two vaccine shots , I was forced to do it , or else I couldn't go shopping , or else tests every fy***"* time . Unfortunately one month later the vaccination restriction measures were called off , so that makes me feel like a sucker lol . Anyway , the vaccination doesn't offer guarantee that you won't get sick by COVID , Hellmuth is one more example of this truth
