Second this. I've turned off all news programs because I've had enough fear mongering.

I don't think they are going away. I don't open them if not interested, just as I do with other topics. That's about all the content control I have.

@mollymaggie good point. We are all stressed by this situation. If only the news media would stop breaking in with all of these press briefings. With 3 hours of news from 4 to 7pm nightly, we'll hear all of the updates over and over again. It's just becoming too much.

Don't read them if they bother you. Start a thread or threads about something you want to discuss.

I'm just tired of the subtle (not very subtle. we/you aren't fooling anyone) political digs back and forth thrown into discussions about the COVID-19. Virus info is helpful. The extra crud is not fun to read.

Some of us like as many updates as we can hear. Witnessing history here, I find it interesting as well as sad.
As with anything, news or what’s posted here, if you aren’t interested just don’t pay any attention.

I don't think that's possible any more than it is to get people to shut up about Harry and Meghan.

@mollymaggie ..... I have been trying to get this point across in several threads. I agree with you. Regretfully the ones that do not agree will probably start responding in their normal sarcastic way. They DO NOT UNDERSTAND that you can bypass the threads that reference the virus but YOU STILL HAVE TO READ THE TITLES which defeats the purpose of trying to get a little break.

I would think anyone stressed out, etc. over the virus would want a break from it also but I guess not.

@GenXmuse there are a whole lot more threads about the virus than there ever were about H&M. Thanks ever so much for reminding me though. 😄 I read something about them this week I meant to.post about.

I don’t read threads that don’t interest me. I don’t see why anyone would. If you don’t even want to see the thread title, don’t come to the forums.

And turn off the TV or don’t watch the news. People act like the are forced to watch the news and forced to read the forum threads. We are all adults here and don’t have to be babied.

@SeaMaiden

By asking that threads be moved a a special place is not sticking your head in the sand, many come here to relax and not be bombarded with messages weather they are truth or fiction

You don't have to read anything. If you want to avoid virus info, you can avoid most such headlines if you just avoid this section and the Wellness section. Not all., though There have been some really interesting takes on it in even the Beauty section. It's what's on everyone's minds right now and it affects so many areas of our lives.

It is not mandatory to read these posts, stop trying to control the board. We have moderators.
