Discussion on source of the virus not allowed here? Threads keep getting moved to politics? What does politics have to do with the source of the corona virus? This is the corona virus board. There is TONS of Speculation about this virus all over this board yet we cannot talk about the source without it getting moved?

[Next post answers the question. This isn't a board for everything coronavirus related. It's for news and information. Speculation on the origin doesn't quite fit. Nothing wrong with the subject, it's just a bit out of place on this board--Staff]

Unless the source being from a wetmarket or lab changes how to treat the symptoms or how to get a cure out faster, I don't really see the purpose of it on this board.

All implications of the answer to that question affect political realities, not medical or how we deal with mitigating the damage here.

Lol

Glad you are not in charge...are those two subjects the only topics allowed on this board?

Hilarious.

Hilarious.
Looking at the first page of threads on this board, I'm not seeing any that aren't covered under those 2 topics. So I don't see your point.

He would seem to be in a position of having access to information.

He does. Which is why it's remarkable how badly he's screwed this up.

So, do the replies above mine so far answer why this is a "Politics" thread?

This is exactly why these threads get moved to the Political board. Because what you think says more about your politics and how much you engage with conspiracy theories than really any hard science.

And in response to this statement, can we all just admit that Trump has a penchant for indulging in conspiracy theories?
