You'll have to do better than that to out Mong, Mong.

Why? Coronavirus is no longer a topical issue. There is zero commentary anywhere in the media about it, that Section is pointless now.

Postings there are still active and consistent.
Just because you don't post there Aussie.
Plus, how do you know that things won't get worse, especially when any virus can take its toll on people 'stressed' by an up-coming world war and more. Stress takes its toll on the body and mind of people far worse than drugs and alcohol can.
I wouldn't be surprised if something worse than Covid is around the corner and it might come from a dirty phone call.

Cool

I am not saying there should be not place to discuss Covid. What I am saying is there is no longer a need for there to be a special section.

There could be a Thread in Health and Welfare for those who want to keep on about a non issue.

Well its coming across as very valid and important to members compared to Boards that don't even contain relevant topics in them pertaining to their Title themes - Cats & Critters being the prime example.
I think the Corona/Covid Board shouldn't even be considered for change/retirement compared to what needs to be done about 'ruined Boards'.
What say you Aussie?

As Geoff says... Covid isn't a non issue these days despite governments, the media and big business wanting everyone to believe it is (for the economy, of course... peoples' lives and health don't matter anymore as far as they're concerned).

There's still several thousand Covid deaths in the US every week and between 50 and 100 Covid deaths in Australia every week... over 100 deaths in aged care alone since the start of this year (disgraceful).

Oh, and I do find it rather fascinating that Aussie started this thread seeing as he has shown no interest in posting in the Coronavirus section since it was started.

Wouldn't have anything to do with Relationships moving up a position from 5th to 4th in the Member Run Boards if the Coronavirus board was removed, would it?

Better watch out, polite_gandalf, Jas and Bobby - you might be next.

Here's a sneak preview.

They did the same with the Pneumonic Pandemic 100+ years ago. After the initial panic, lockdowns, precautions, etc - within a year or two, it was swept under the rug and not to be spoken of as if it would just go away by itself. 50 million people died because of that. Far more than the World War by double!

So we see again, the same thing happening.
In 'Political & Military' nations - such things as 'Medical Crises' are NOT the priority... unless its to get rid of Trump.

CarlD—please please please ask FD to make you Mod of Coronavirus! Tell him to ban the biggest bullshit artists here.

This is important!

What cases are there?

What deaths are there?

What handicaps are there after ≥2 infections?

You have the patience and dogged persistence to get the figures! Need help with some investigation? Ask me! I will help as best as I am able.

You can hold FD to deleting time wasters like Booby, Jaye, horseboy etc!
