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.

Me too.  I thought I was the only one.

@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.

Please stop inflaming an already difficult situation, there are many out there who are fearing for their lives, Do not say pass the threads by, it is impossible to come to  Community Chat with out being bombarded with threads filled with misinformation and hearsay


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.

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

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.
