Interesting, but I don't know what it means without more info...# of tests, availability of accurate screening, etc. Just need more info
My apologies for starting this thread. It was wrong! I didn't intend to have it go negative. Some one once said emails or written words can be taken incorrectly and this type of information can be misinterpreted.

Webmaster please take this tread down. It was a mistake. Thank you!

I'm curious, how is it negative? Isn't it okay to debate the meaning of the curves?

Or perhaps, it is negative when you countermand the popular position? Like the California doctors? YouTube admitted it took down the video because it did not support the shelter in place orders. Whether you support what is being done to us or you don't, this should scare all of us. Suppressing free speech and different ideas is not good, regardless of political affiliation.

It does scare me...my husband, too.....we should all be outraged at the power of YouTube, Google, Facebook, and many others. Shrugging it off is not the solution.

But it is also scary that these platforms can be manipulated by professional agitators to spread misinformation systematically. They are much more vulnerable to this than traditional media. This technique has been used by the right, the left, and the just plain wrong.

They manipulate every day, no matter what side you're on. They are sites that add fuel to the fire, along with the real news source, Twitter.

Regardless of the threads? Where are you seeing that in the General Discussion, Boating, Restaurants, Home Cottage or Land Maintenance, History, Wildlife, Pets, Fishing. etc. areas? If you don't like the COVID discussions why not just avoid this one area instead of condemning the entire forum?

The state just to the south of New Hampshire: "Massachusetts suffers a record 252 C-19 deaths on Wednesday, April 29, 2020" ....... google that ...... and it is most likely higher than 252 because that number was reported at 8:41-pm.

Chase dawg, this thread was melded into your other one, which is what my objection was, your topic : “Congratulations, the U.S. is number one” (for being first in Coronavirus cases?) That’s not it, word for word, but the topic was negative and sure to receive the reaction it did from many forum members.
