Some of the posts I have seen here are among the most outrageous I have ever seen, with the liberals quoting other liberals, the other side sticking to their guns in a similar fashion ---- ensuring that the discussion will stay completely off the rails with just a handful of posters monopolizing the thread. (exceptions, of course) as they rant on and on. 

But I will say this ---- over time butch53 is one of the nicest, most polite, considerate, and thoughtful posters we have here, and attacking him is completely inexcusable. I have never seen a single thing said by butch53 that in any way has been rude or insulting to anyone here ---- ever. But snide remarks and/or attacks on him do indeed serve to show how very little some have to say.

How about letting everyone speak their view with considerably more tolerance, patience, and good will?

As an older citizen, I would be happy to volunteer for Stage 3 trials if asked or given an opportunity. Of course.

Here in British Columbia, Canada we are very proud of our top medical officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry. We can listen to her everyday during the pandemic. 

My sister emailed Dr. Bonnie Henry's bio . I am very happy to share this with you all. I hope you will take the time to read through. Thank you

The issues you have raised have been addressed.

I would appreciate it if you did not antagonise a thread that may be treading a fine line, but has never devolved.

This is our current deputy chief medical officer...

I know I'm being awful and sexist... but he makes the briefings more interesting.

sent you a PM

He can't help it if he's easy on the eyes - you are not being  sexist at all Jennifer. Thanks for sharing.

I would not mind having him as my attending physician!

This thread has already devolved several times with the Trump trashing. I’m sure I’m not the only one offended by some of the comments. Every time someone says something about it, they are put in their place and told not to be careful wheat they say.

It’s time to take the politics out of this and go back to the original reason for this, which is to check on players and their well-being.
