Here we go again with this COVID stuff.
Well, this thread will be closed within 48 hours if anyone comments on it.

The last thread was closed because of the manner of your posting. If you'll behave yourself then it will remain open.

Yes, I said it's possible that with millions of people going through airports, Omicron COVID can get into countries despite testing which is true.
"Your" thread is controversial because people have different views on all this COVID stuff. Then fights break out, then the thread is closed.
You could start a thread saying "God Isn't Real" and get the same result.

Thank you for sharing these three different, yet all hopeful, news stories. Although the Army developing a One Ring vaccine kinda makes me think of I Am Legend, lol. I mean, it will be fine, I'm sure, but we're truly living in strange days...

That's not at all what you said. Anyone who needs a reminder can find it here

"Do you realize we got millions of people pouring in over the border unchecked?
All they do is ask questions at the airport, which doesn't stop a virus from coming in.
We never stopped any variant from coming into the U.S., and this will be no exception. The same pattern will occur. It gets into Asia/Europe, then right to the U.S.
All governments do is use COVID to gain power. The more fear, hate, and chaos, the more power they can grab."
Happily, most of the people on this board are perfectly capable of holding a conversation with someone, even if they disagree on some elements. That is actually one of the primary purposes of these boards. Other people use wild exaggeration, bad logic, misinformation and provocative statements in order to try to bolster beliefs that are unsupported by fact.
BTW, I think I'll start that "God Isn't Real" thread, just to see what happens.

gl with that.
You make many accusations and condescending remarks, which is fighting with someone. That isn't productive and does not help engage in a conversation with good intentions.
Please send me a memo when any country gets rid of COVID 100%. Otherwise, I'm done with discussing COVID.
Merry Christmas.

And I never said that he did.
RE: Covid Update - wow - 12-23-2021
Thank goodness LevelUp is done discussing COVID. I look forward to hearing what everyone else has to say about it now.
And thanks for the links, Alpha. I see the first one as especially good news.
