I created a new and improved Covid thread where you can all beat each other senseless. Let this thread die a slow banter death thru the end of the month and fire up a new one for Fall.

much better selection

Screw ex-Gov Cuomo. He's a predator and deserves to be prosecuted for his crimes.

And that's fine. I'm just looking for some middle ground in all this chaos. I'd hope I'm pretty level-headed for the majority here. I'm pretty much done with this current thread. I'd want to see more weather banter and non Covid day-to-day banter over this.

You out west permanently? I though you were working in Franklin at one time. I'd say we should try and meet if you were. Nano over on Grove St. https://67degreesbrewing.com/

You haven't added much if, anything, to advancing the debate/discussion over the virus.

Maybe I should go back into my cocoon. I've stirred up the pot too much.

It is my job to moderate ones opinions when they are presented as facts. I'm fine with taking a hard-lined stance when someone doesn't back their opinion with scientific data and facts. I'll just send them on a vacation.

Side by side

But being a Moderator that's also my discretion to decide. That's where I'm trying to find what that line is on both sides. I'm pretty open-minded of opposing views but do find some of the rhetoric on the extremes too much.

I can't ignore anyone.

Your posts assumes it is a leak though. There is no definitive answer and we may neve have/get one. https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/05/politics/covid-origins-genetic-data-wuhan-lab/index.html

The assumptions some post of opposite sides view is also not constructive.

Correct but to call a vaccine poison of that it causes autism and Alzheimer's is a joke.

Didn't you grow up in CT?

Why should we respect opinions that are not based on actual science/data?

It's never going to be purely informative or constructive. There are far too many differing viewpoints, opinions, and beliefs in what the truth is. Many just can't purely post about information without interjecting their emotions towards others viewpoints. This stems from how long some have been interacting with each other over the better part of 2 decades. Phin, while new to this subforum, has been around for a long time and has a strong opinionated view that conflict with others and there is no rule against other members from other subforums from posting in here if they so choose. I've wanted to keep this dicussion as apolitical as possible but it's clear that's not going to occur. If you're all of the belief that we should have this discussion continue moving forward, what would you like to see/not see from a moderating perspective? We've become pretty loose but some stuff clearly crosses the line for some.

Time to dry out. Just in time for my Contractor to bang out the framing for addition.

21 more days till this thread goes bye-bye. Than maybe we separate or y'all can just fire up a new thread here where all this "discussion" shouid have been in the 1st place. https://www.americanwx.com/bb/forum/5-off-topic/

You go Ar-Kansas but the Delta variant is MEH so i've been told for those that are unvaccinated. Average age of those hospitalized has dropped drastically. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid19-arkansas-hospitalizations-icu-beds-asa-hutchinson/ Republican Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson tweeted on Monday that "there are currently only eight ICU beds available in the state" as the region and the rest of the U.S. grapples with a surge of COVID infections fueled in part by the highly contagious Delta variant. The Arkansas Department of Health reported on Monday that a total of 1,376 people are hospitalized due to the coronavirus, which surpasses a record high of 1,371 hospitalizations recorded on January 11. State data also shows more than 500 people have been admitted to the ICU and nearly 300 people infected with COVID are on ventilators. https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/covid-hospitalizations-at-record-high-in-nwa/527-6da9424c-6fc8-4ab5-a274-0b27861a389f

1/4" over last 24hr. 5.05" for Aug/ 8.68" in July/ 3.03" in June.

What does that have to do with heads of ERs coming on the news to speak of it?

But population dense with most living along the coastlines.

Florida report 120. That's not acceptable.
