We are surging in cases all over the US and the mods thought it would be a good idea to CENSOR and REMOVE information on a freakin' pandemic? Because there is a touch of politics in it? People want/need that information, and it is crazy to outright remove the thread. It ain't right. Reality is people didn't like push back in their partisan views, it's how they roll. Nothing new, suppression of thought other than the party line eventually leads to topics being deleted. We all saw it coming, it was a game plan. NBD we know how we roll and how they snitch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I appreciated welcoming back a former SNE member and the varied perspectives brought to the table. It's nice to have an open discussion without widespread misinformation or conspiracy theories. Aloha, hope everyone gets through this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhotdog Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Exactly, Coastal is dead on. 5 post them everyday if u need to. The info in this thread was fantastic and extremely helpful. Ridiculous to shut it down. Shut down the idiots. 90% of the posts were insightful and good. Bad idea to end it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant politicalization of it was the problem. Turning it constantly into a left vs right fight, turing reopening decisions and mask wearing into a left vs right thing, turning wanting to be caustion into you are are scared liberal...that was the issue and why it went away. There are a lot of things with this virus that should cross political lines, but unfortunately one side especially has weaponized it and denied it and it was spilling into a ton of the posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad. It was a great source of important information. With the way Covid 19 is presented by all the politicians, it's nearly impossible to not have politics rear its ugly head in the thread. But they threw the baby out with the bath water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were a huge part of the problem . It was a great thread until posters from other areas of the country came in spewing nonsense and scare tactics.

All I am going to say is that at the beginning of this whole thing you were the biggest scare mongerer in the thread. I thought reasonable caution was appropriate and was truly concerned about the motivations to want to reopen and that I didn't think people could handle it. I always thought that the worst case was overblown but I think people were rushing to reopen. I was also there for 3 months and the issues only started when a couple pepole showed up. That all said, you went from calling it apocalyptic to a hoax almost overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially it was an issue but as we learned more about, we learned it’s almost exclusively a threat to the elderly and unhealthy. We learned of scare tactics, political agendas , and how to live normal life over the last couple of months. As long as folks practice good methodology and respect the seniors vulnerabilities, it’s not an issue for most . It’s akin to getting the flu in most cases.

I would wear a mask in your presence if you feel more comfortable. I leave it up to the individuals. For example, my wife’s 88 yr old father is in the Cape with all the kids, families, cousins. Youngest 13, oldest 22. He had no fears and does not want us to wear a mask. I saw both my parents many times over the last 30-45 days and no one wore masks. Both well into their 70’s.But if they wanted us to, we would have . The first few months we stayed away, never saw them and made sure all were safe. As society has figured this thing out and gotten past the initial scare and subsequent and still ongoing scare tactics, we can live life as normal as is possible given the conditions. I’m not out to put anyone’s health in danger or make them scared. If they feel that way, we mask . I always ask.

What our family will not do is live life scared I was a lot more apprehensive going to work early on but now it’s routine like everything else. All of our extended family are in Chicago, NYC, California but we have many friends here. We had a neighborhood party last night outdoors. When we all come indoors in the fall I suspect people will be more apprehensive. If we don’t get a second wave ala 1918 we should be ok but that’s a big if. I’m not of the mind to take unnecessary risks for the purpose of working so I plan to be retired before winter. I have not been inconvenienced all that much-have enjoyed no longer wearing a tie at work and not having to fly anywhere. However I miss my grandchildren a lot and really need to get out to California before too long once the surge does down out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB-99 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Let's all agree to keep politics out of here. The 1st one to wade into a non informative discussion goes. I am not pointing to anyone but this was one of the best cohesive disco's in a long time and it's gone. I know the adults in here can police this. This has had many turns and some like me in late February still weren't sure what this was. Now my position flipped 6 to 7 weeks ago and I am glad it did. I would really like to see us get to a resolution, I think the people who have been informative throughout deserve that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
