Yeah because some random person sitting behind a computer screen on an obscure forum only occasionally chiming in to hurl insults at everyone is more knowledgeable and reliable than a degreed scientist with experience in emergency management.

As a token of my gratitude, I think you dropped your tinfoil hat on the ground, let me go get it for you.

The coronavirus has absolutely nothing to do w/ abortion and everything to do w/ the decisions of major local, state, and federal political figures (i.e. politics).

Try again.

There is a political thread for political opinions and reactions. This was originally a thread where people could come for information on the number of cases, SIP / SAH orders, and closings.

Hopefully we can return to that, and leave the political views and opinions to the threads dedicated to those. This goes to everyone doing that, not just you.
 
Repost to try to get this thread back under control: watching this may relieve some of the anxiety about this virus. It did for me. Hopefully this is legit!

A degree does not mean you can attempt to belittle people with your "intelligence". I have 4 degrees. Big deal.

The unfortunate reality is the outcome of this virus largely hinges on the actions of political leaders at every level of government, political opinions are an inevitable outcome in a thread like this because of the very direct link between politics and national crises, nearly everyone understands that and is able to grasp how their lives will be significantly impacted for the foreseeable future by it. So long as this crisis continues to evolve and the thread remains open, there's absolutely nothing you can say or do to prevent that. Asserting however, that politics carries the same amount of relevance as abortion in this setting is pretty short-sighted on your part. It's like trying to say cow farts have as much influence on southern US snowstorms as warm noses. Sure, no one wants to talk about the latter and bring it up in conversation because of so many prior heartbreaks its caused, but the two really aren't even close.

Pro tip: The next time you attempt to single out an individual or group of people for expressing an overwhelming, majority opinion on something and immediately hurl personal attacks their way, particularly on a topic that has absolutely nothing to do w/ the discussion at hand, you should seriously consider taking a minute to critically think about what you're going to say or type, because it'll probably come back to haunt you. Perhaps just not say anything at all if you have nothing of substance to add is the best course of action, especially if you want to hold onto any shred of credibility you have left or avoid getting banned.

Again with the policing. You just can't help yourself. For some reason you hold yourself up as some moral authority on all things related to everything. The veiled threat(under the guise of a "Pro tip") of don't post in contrary to what the "overwhelming, majority opinion" or else you I might be haunted by them, lose credibility or might get banned is a new low. How about this, I'll block you, so I don't have to see you run other posters underground because they are below your knowledge and experience(or god forbid post an opinion you think differs from the aforementioned overwhelming majority) and you can block me so you don't have see me lose the last shred of credibility I have left. I am feeling haunted by it already.

I have always loved learning things on this board. My family was always impressed when I knew stuff about the weather before tv weather people would mention anything.

They laughed at me but now thankful that I knew to start getting supplies and stocking up on food long before the panic buying started.

I know everyone handles the stress of this situation differently. And stress and anxiety is revealed in different ways. But I would like to continue to come to this forum and learn about the virus and what is happening. I deliberately stay out of the political thread. But I can no longer tell the difference I want to learn how it’s spreading where it’s slowing down, possible treatments, etc. Not who are we blaming. Can we please keep this thread free of political opinion and arguing. Thanks for everything I have gained in my knowledge of weather and the virus
 
Here's something important to consider if you haven't filed your tax 2019 return yet: you might want to leave off any adult dependents (whether they're a college student or other related adult, like a parent) and let them file their own tax return - assuming they had income during 2019.

Claiming adult dependents only gets you a $500 nonrefundable credit (called the ODC) on your tax return, whereas if they file a return themselves they'll get the $1,200 stimulus payment.
