    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Please keep this on topic and not about specific posters. In this thread, I'll delete posts from anyone (and that means anyone!) who continues the previous poster-specific discussion or starts a new one.

    Thanks!

    Well, unlike the Democrats' convention, the Republicans' convention went viral.

    hopefully, whoever caught it, gets over it without little side effects.

    Also, if your gonna lock a thread, then it should be locked from other mods continuing a one sided conversation in it.

    That's not possible (the forum software allows mods to post in locked threads) and I don't think they realized it was locked when they posted.

    “We had diligent safety protocols in place, including testing all attendees before arriving in Charlotte, and again upon arrival. Out of roughly 1,000 tests administered, two RNC attendees, despite having negative tests prior to travel, and two Charlotte locals who planned to serve as event support staff tested positive upon arrival. All were sent home,” said Michael Ahrens, the Republican National Committee’s communications director.

    The RNC said masks and social distancing practices were in place, though images from the convention showed attendees gathering close together for selfies and conversation. Attendees were required to have their temperature taken daily, and they completed wellness questionnaires every day.

    The convention has not yet proven to be any kind of super-spreader event; Mecklenburg health officials said they had conducted 792 coronavirus tests among delegates and staff, with only the four testing positive.

    Sounds good. But how is 792 roughly 1000?

    "Not yet." I can't say it's comforting that the day after it ended "only" 4 people have tested positive, but I hope for everyone's sakes (even the dummies who went) it stays that low.

    Reminder! (Since I've already had to do it.) Posts that continue or start conversations about a specific poster will be deleted. Private messages are how you talk about other people, if you must.
