If the mods removed posts with misinformation, half the threads in this forum would be gone.

That is a lot of reporting.

Some posters are allowing their imaginations to run rampant. They need go refrain from posting extremely unlikely occurances and go find something to do. It's upsetting to others who might think you have "insider" information, which you don't. Please be more considerate of others.

Yes, I read stuff...a lot of stuff here in fact. But it's only reading and for me that's not a problem. I just don't let it get to me. Sometimes you need a break if it gets too much to take in. Just because it's raining doesn't mean you have to stand out in it.

@I am still oxox I skip them. I get my info from reliable sources.

But I don't think it's anyone's place to tell other posters what not to post.

No one is required to come by this forum. There are other forums, lots, to read if the topics here are upsetting. It's unfair to expect others to refrain from posting as they wish because some can't manage their fear.

I seldom visit the Pets forum because reading about sick, hurt, or dying pets is upsetting to me.

I agree about the animals stuff. I can't take it either. I avoid it everywhere.

I agree with @SilleeMee. The OP can't control what people post so if it bothers her so much perhaps it would be best to take a break from the forums.

and who is to judge what is misinformation and hearsay?

This is one of the reasons that all posts about the flu should be posted in one forum, namely the Wellness forum.

This post proves one thing. Don't believe everything you hear or read. Get your information from reliable sources. Just like in everything there are lots of rumors.

@Imaoldhippie I find your suggestion to be ironic if not plain funny. The subject of a global pandemic is so far from from "wellness",with so many social implications, it's not even in the same universe.

@Pearlee No, the OP can't control what others write but the moderators can. If something is inflammatory, it should be removed. They, as always, decide what could be damaging.

Glad to see you were amused. Its beats posting it in everyone of the other forums like it is now.

If I can say. I am Lab Professional that the runors are world wide. Just keep using social distances and cover your cough and sneezes and you will be fine. There is a lot or rumors going on and the majority is false. We are working to disfuse the situation and we will get through this. Just remember how AIDS and how other flu virus were concerned. We will be fine.

@Porcelain @occasionalrain

I will just about break my neck trying to find the remote if one of those ASPCA commercials start. Nope, I don't want to view peoples cruelty to animals, or read about sick, hurt or dying animals.
