The East Bell County Coronabusters thread got locked. I thought it was cute and exactly the kind of thing I need. My wife worked two night shifts in a row in the ER the last two nights (Aggie doc...whoop!). She comes home and I can't touch her until she showers. Then she gets to tell me about the patients she interacted with the previous night that may have had Covid...and then I go to work and she sleeps. And then she gets up and helps the kids with their homework. And then I come home and we have dinner and she goes back to work.

But God forbid we have a little levity among all the bullsh-t going on. Least we forget, that's how most all of our people, be we Czech, Hispanic, Jewish, African-American or whatever we are got through the hard times, with music and singing and dancing.

So lighten the eff up people. And God bless you all.

Please help us maintain a healthy ethic of community in this forum, where accuracy and civility are of supreme importance.

To be clear: This is not a place to post your opinion as fact or to post information not rooted in clear facts. This is not a place to have political arguments or to detail your opinions about how well or poorly the government is handling the issue. This is not a place to rant about media conspiracies. This is not a place to critique other people for their level of concern or efforts to prepare. There are forums for (some of) those conversations, but they don't belong here.

Again, our goal is to highlight some of the helpful information from doctors, public health experts, and others that is already appearing in other forums and to give our community a specific place to ask questions and get helpful, accurate answers.

So which one of those was that post?

I'm sorry your post was removed. Luckily it was posted on the racist forum 16.

Thank you Bohunk, for trying to bring levity in this trying time. Sure beats the "just the flu crowd" vs "errbody gonna die crowd."
Well that's what I'm saying.....99% of people are just trying to make it through this. The constant arguments back and forth between these two "sides" aren't really helping anyone. Stuff like this just may be. Just my stupid two cents. What do I know, I'm just a dumb Bohunk.

Agree with Bohunk. I agree it's not sharing of information, but seriously what is the harm in trying to brighten the day of people who DO read this board who maybe don't go into the general board, because that's apparently the only other place where his original thread technically belongs? Maybe it brings a smile to a doc who's had a pretty rough day.

I know you're explaining why it was locked, but I don't know - I come to this board for information, but I also don't mind one thread out of 30 intended to lighten the mood a little bit, especially when the OP is not trying to make some point with it. Also especially when we have repeats of multiple topics.

Not looking to start a fight. Just throwing my support out there for a little light-heartedness in a sea of serious discussion.

Careful Bo...you'll get reported

I didn't lock it. Just thought it was pretty clear in the heading of the forum that this forum was meant to be a place to get information and insight and that the other forums could be used for the other COVID content.

Don't think we really need to start this though. This is the type of stuff that makes all of these threads hard to read. I believe Hotard was just explaining why Bohunk's original thread got locked. I don't really care about trying to make teams. Making this about teams is what gets any thread locked. It's also exactly what Bohunk was saying the threads devolve into and why he wanted a little levity. We don't have to be so intense about every interaction.

It has nothing to do with thinking someone is making light of a serious situation. It is just that this forum was designed strictly for information pertaining to CV. Not much different than when they set up a hurricane forum.

There is the general forum, the political forum, several other forums to post funny or non informational threads.

I get that forums like these can create a kind of community within a community and you want to share relevant things with that community that are fun and mood lightening, perhaps try just posting something like that onto an existing thread instead of creating a new one. Like that "Virus good news only" thread.

And I've explained myself and my situation and how people have dealt with things like this throughout history. Having a forum like this that is "information only" in my opinion tends to lead people to despair and drowning themselves in "information only." I've dealt with my town exploding and now with this. Levity is needed. Otherwise you will drive people insane. LITERALLY. I can tell you that from first hand experience.

Hilarious what this forum was designed its not to doing any of that expect a one way echo chamber and safe space.

This is a fair point. I can agree with keeping the non-informational and light-hearted stuff to the virus good news only thread.

The text in bold was really the point I was trying to make, and you worded that well about communities.
