There is a lot of misinformation out there about Covid-19 and various folk
remedies that are being recommended. Sometimes the people posting this
information say something like "Studies have shown.." or "In a recent
study..."
Because misinformation can destroy people's lives (even if it doesn't kill
them) anyone posting information from a study should include references to
the original publications, or at least the name(s) of the author(s) of the
study and a mention of the peer-reviewed journal in which the study results
were published.
Without this supporting information, the information is at best a
distraction, and at worst a death sentence for people who cannot be
vaccinated due to age or other physical limitation.
Thank you for keeping this in mind,

Hi everyone,
It's absolutely time to stop. We can discuss COVID and how it relates to organizing
dances and when we should begin dancing again, but remedies, vaccinations, and preventions
are now off limits. I'm sorry!

Vaccinations are the best way we get back to dancing.
I'm sorry, you cannot unilaterally demand that all organizers on this list
stop talking about the primary way to stop the virus that's killing 600,000
plus Americans and has kept us away from dancing for a year and a half.

If some people want to talk about a (sub)topic and others don't, why not
create a separate mailing list for that topic?
Then the discussion can continue unimpeded, without destroying this mailing
list.
Because things like this DO destroy mailing lists, because people unsubscribe
from a mailing list which is dominated by a topic they find unworthy. Let's
give such people a different mailing list to unsubscribe from instead, and
divide topics between the two mailing lists appropriately.

I have been deleting without reading this list for a long time now, but
I have to weigh in with Alan Rosenthal. I unsubscribed from one of the
CDSS list because I felt it was inappropriately being used (abused) to
promote individual programs. I was getting ready to unsubscribe from
this list too. Not because of the subject, but because the topic just
didn't seem to know that it was done. Maybe having a time limit for
each topic and creating a new thread for (sub) topics would help.
Soon to exit, maybe,
