Am half-expecting guest commentators from here!  I'm sure 2006, Burger and Outsider would all be up for it (and apologies for offending anyone for leaving them out of my listing - am sure it is longer).

I have zero, no, less than zero interest watching Frontline document the federal response. Even were I to learn anything new, none of that changes the current reality. And it’s not even fair to claim this is an opportunity to learn from mistakes when just having a qualified leader at the top of the government is the only learning needed, regardless of what Frontline reports. I knew that lesson long before the 2016 election.

Just today there was a story about how the WH Pandemic Response Team is constantly undermined by the POTUS, and it just pretends it doesn’t happen. Please, end this nightmare. I don’t need to learn any more about it.

To be clear, I’m not claiming anyone else shouldn’t watch. Just stating my position on it since my “name” was invoked in this thread.

And I thought the board was trying to implement the Terry Rule and was refraining from political commentary and "the blame game". 

I guess it's okay if it's of the appropriate POV.

Both sides can play the "it was a joke" game.  No guarantees offered that the joke was actually funny.

Critical reading error: political commentary is kosher provided that it's related to COVID-19:

Adopting Terry's wise admonition:

I support the CardBoard's long-standing "no politics" rule. As I understand it, the moderators have relaxed that rule for the purpose of allowing discussion of the political response to Covid-19. I'd be favor of limiting the political comments to that issue. Posts [that] have nothing to do with Covid-19 [. . .] would be better avoided, IMO.

Thus, if a thread veers away from COVID-19 altogether for a few posts, the Mods will reserve the right to close it. This seems to be a better system than haphazardly giving out ad-hoc warnings.

And not because people were named, so thanks for letting me off the hook on that one 2006.

Interesting.   Apparently WA public health did contact tracing on patient zero, swabbing 60 contacts (those who had 10 minutes contact or more) and none of them tested positive.
