This is a coronavirus thread, so why does it matter? You've consistently defended him (including right now, taking issue with me calling him a loser) when the entire reason I’ve repeatedly engaged with him is because he attacks groups of people and individuals on a personal level (calling them idiots, selfish, stupid) that he knows nothing about but take issue with me calling him a loser for doing so. Why? ETA: since you’re already combing through my profile, why don’t you go back and read the comments I’ve responded to him on and see who is making personal attacks or using incendiary language, instead of jumping into a 292 page thread 280 pages in and blindly backing the guy you feel shares the same POV as you. I have never seen you make a weather post ever but we see a bunch of useless covid posts. Patterns are obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rate of growth has always been an indicator of downstream values for hospitalizations and ICU.

Hoosier Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Everything is valuable to look at. Cases (or maybe more importantly the trends in case numbers) give you some idea of how much virus is floating around in a particular area. While a large percentage of vulnerable people in older age groups have been vaccinated, that is not necessarily the case yet in the middle age and younger age groups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 My county achieved 25% of our population 18 and over and 75% of our population 65 and over fully vaccinated as of yesterday. Of course, we only have 38,000, but it's still an impressive percentage. We are vaccinating around 350 people a day (5 days a week), so by Memorial Day, we should have everyone vaccinated that wants to be (~67%). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there are plenty of forums where you could talk about all coronavirus, all the time. Can’t say they’d be as generally civil as a weather forum, but I’m sure they’re out there. But I do think you severely underestimate the number of people in our society who believe that only the vaccinated should be able to enjoy certain activities with no restrictions. I don’t feel I’m blindly backing the guy that has similar views to mine. Again, all I did was state that the particular view you called him out on at that moment isn’t extremist at all. I wasn’t speaking in general terms, maybe he has other views that some would call “extremist” but even if he does, that’s not what I was addressing at that time. 12 hours ago, dta1984 said: You do realize you just pretty much described stebo right?

You once again just described the reason I’ve taken issue with Stebo. You can find the post he made a few pages back encouraging a mod to censor posts and viewpoints he doesn’t agree with. He’s degrading, disrespectful, and derogatory towards people who don’t share his point of view. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the last thread standing. If it goes too, there will be no place to discuss Covid on this site. So hopefully people can keep it civil, no matter how much they disagree. When Stebo bashes people the way he does, he's risking this thread. Hopefully he can calm down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Here’s another potential scenario for why people refusing to get the vaccine, and not having some form of vaccine passports in place, affects all of us: A bunch of people refuse to get the vaccine. The virus spreads rampant through the unvaccinated population when people are allowed to gather in large groups again. The virus mutates into a form that the vaccine doesn’t protect against, and we’re back at square one. So yes, it makes me judgmental when people refuse to get the vaccine, the majority of whom are refusing it for illogical reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s going to be happening outside of the United States for years and years and years to come. There’s going to be parts of the world that are still less than 10% vaccinated five years from now.

Hoosier Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I generally don't comment on specific posters, but it seems like the discussion about Stebo may go on endlessly at this rate. I have probably known him on these boards for longer than most of the people posting about him, and I can say that his style has not really changed over the years. I'm not always a fan of it. I'm sure his feeling of frustration with certain posters is genuine, but the forum is not run according to Stebo. It never has been and won't be as long as he is not on the staff. My advice... learn to coexist, people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine having many states with vaccine passports and many states without them, which is looking like a real possibility. Imagine how divided the country will be. This country is already divided enough as it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
