I can't believe I'm going to do this, but I agree with you. Not necessarily the shot at the mods, but that there's a lot of political chatter on this thread. I've been mostly using it for information and it's been a great resource, but it's gotten watered down by a lot of the political talk. And I agree with about 95% of the shots at the administration, but it's just not what I'm looking to see in this thread.

I think it's just a product of a lull in the news. We're all sort of just waiting to see what happens as states move to open things up.

It ebbs and flows. It's definitely slower, and for better or worse, ultimately, solutions are going to have a political component to them. We can't avoid it entirely. Sometimes I'd rather let people here suss things out and move on. But the last couple of pages was a bit too much of the back and forth on how we should respond to the shut downs and opening things back up. We're in uncharted waters and I just want to let people be themselves and state their opinion. There's room for debate. We won't always get it right or perfect, that balance is hard to nail down at times.

I'd like to keep the discussion cordial as possible and keep this thing going because there will come a day when we will be a source of information when we learn more about the virus and the carnage its leaving in its wake. I think we all want to get through this because we do care about our families and friends.

Not everyone will agree with how to continue the dialogue, but we're doing the best we can.
