I've had several people contact me in one way or another to explain their feelings about some of the discussion that's gone on in the 'Corona virus watch....is it affecting your family?' thread.

The overall feeling is that it's been steered away from its original purpose, which was for Fetchies to talk about how CV19 is affecting them and their families; and to provide support for everyone who would like it. Instead, it's become dominated by seemingly unresolvable views on the nature of the pandemic, and pushed many contributors away from the thread.

I always try to defend people's ability to say what they want to say, but in this case, I think it's important for that thread to reestablish the original purpose (which DocM as originator has worked very hard to curate and maintain).

To resolve this, I've created this separate discussion thread, where those of you who wish to debate the grander scheme of things may do so; leaving those of you who are just looking for some support to be able to get it via the original thread. Thanks.

Very sensible, thank you. I do hope this thread isn't abused in the way the support thread was.
