How about, owners and moderators, just stay neutral on divisive issues?

How about creating the appearance of an open forum where ideas can be discussed and presented, and the people who run the show are behind the scenes (repeat: behind the scenes) to step in if necessary?

They should not be the provocateurs.

If they cannot fathom that they might be provoking divisiveness, all the more reason to just be quiet and moderate,

It is an open forum. It's just an open forum where I'm allowed to h ave my opinion and weldon his own different opinion.

If 24 players on a team were sick with the flu (unlikely since flu isn’t nearly as contagious as COVID), I highly doubt Cal would be playing either…

What an inane premise.

You would be wrong:

“Several players didn’t make the bus”

Can you read?

Oh come on guys, the fact that the Brojos will stir stuff up AND have thick enough skin to take heat when they do make a bad argument makes this place fun.

Thanks, Aaron Rodgers. You stupid hippie :(

I don’t understand Rojo a bunch of the time.

His family is super Covid cautious yet he starts this thread.

If a bunch of the players have Covid they’re not going to play. That’s pretty simple. I haven’t bothered to do any googling but what is hard to understand about that.

It’s like my wife, she is tested for Covid at work once a week despite being vaxxed. If she gets Covid they’ll tell her not to come to work for some period of time.

Ok I did some googling . 24 Cal players have Covid. You think the university is going to let them play?!

Be nice if you guys could at least be consistent on the matter. You act like you double mask and take it so

seriously half the time. Like you make sure to talk about you still take all these precautions every week

on the podcast.

Here's the part where you get insulted, called a covid denier, etc.

If the vaccine is effective in either a.) Slowing transmission, b.) Reducing a negative outcome from covid...

Then they should play the game.

Here is the thing. You guys purposely post this garbage every day even though you know it is misinformation. You participate in Covid threads every single day. Yet you continue to post the same bs like a broken record.

- The vaccine doesn’t prevent you from getting Covid. It allows your immune system to fight it easily. You know this already.

- The vaccine reduces the likelihood of transmission but doesn’t eliminate it. You already know this.

- 24 players have Covid. If 24 players had the flu they wouldn’t play either.

Ahh there we go. Another "Covid Bingo" buzzword - Misinformation. Anything to refute an opposing viewpoint.

And all you did was express your distain, then restate my post. Lol.

And I changed part of the title to remove the part despite ‘99% of cal team being vaccinated’

Actually that part of the title was relevant. It shows covid will always be around and you have to ask if at some point we stop expecting anyone who tests positive to quarantine even if they are vaccinated and have mild or no symptoms.

I can't believe Rojo reads Berenson. There are so many people who are skeptical of mainstream COVID policy who have actually been correct about SOMETHING during the pandemic.

Alex has been wrong over and over and over, yet people give him $$ because he tells them what they want to hear, it seems. I like reading differing views, but I try to stick to people who are batting over .000 for their pandemic predictions.

Yes. He's wrong on the conclusions a lot but I like to think about things.

And you learn some interesting things. Like how the vaccines were failing to stop the spread in Isreal first. I think you posted before about who is kind of a sketpic but is right often? Who did you say?

The entire "vaccine" scam has hoodwinked people for almost a year now. The Mailman School of Public Heath at Columbia University estimated that the Covid infection fatality rate declined dramatically from 0.8% to 0.3% between June, 2020 and December, 2020 - the very month the shots were started. A terrified public is a recipe for billions in profit.

I like this guy for non-mainstream takes:

FWIW he's still very pro vax, etc, so some of the COVID-deniers in here will probably tell you he's still a hysterical covid fearmonger or whatever.

He was big on never closing schools for more than a few weeks when COVID was very new, etc.

Yes, it is an open forum.

But in terms of management, what is good management and what is management destined for major problems?

This is a very divisive issue, the pandemic and implementing policy and measures to combat it. It is fraught with misinformation. We all know that, unfortunately,

If the moderators and owners of the site have already vocalized biased positions and have engaged in the quarreling (in fact, even promoted it with posts like yours), who do we have to turn to to ask for moderation? Are all users of the site going to feel confident that their concerns are going to be fairly heard and addressed?

Answer: No, not if the mods and owners have instigated provocative posts and views already,

So I implore you to step back and play referee, rather than stoking the quarreling.

Thank you for hearing me out, I think it would lead to a better experience for all users of the site.

zeynep tufekci was the other semi-outsider Harambe has mentioned. She has written a lot on balancing social costs.

The goalposts keep moving, which is exactly what the “conspiracy theorists” said would happen.

Two weeks to slow the spread then we'll be fine.

Once we have a widely available vaccine then we’ll be fine…

Link to this quote, please.

Yet another example of the utter perfection demanded of Dems while no standards at all exist for Trumpers. F off.

And he did pretty much say all that which is [obviously] paraphrased above.

And here is another DIRECT QUOTE which I never heard you mention or complain about.

“We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here. And isn’t it refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama?”
