Here’s a list of approved subjects - Entertainment reviews, trades people recommendations, restaurant experiences, quality of golf courses, cracks in lanai ceilings, how good the drivers are around the circles, the flowers to put into the common area, turnpike noise, how great/bad is Southern Oaks, getting passed by someone doing 24 in a golf cart, etc. .

Hey, you left "dog poop" off your list of approved topics. Are you trying to bend us to your will?

Sorry, haven't had my second cuppa "Joe" yet. 😋

So…kill all those who test positive?🤣

Moderators, PLEASE STOP THEM……

You can just bypass them ! But of course you know that !!

If you are tired of them, don't click on them. Why try to censor something where others may have an interest?

Marine1974 01-14-2022 09:22 AM

You could ask an ICU nurse to explain the difference to you . 95% of covid patients on ventilators are unvaccinated. 85% of hospitalizations due to Covid are unvaccinated. Best get information from those on the front lines and you might appreciate the difference or not .

Since you made a post about a topic you don't want to see, I feel compelled to respond to a thread about which I can't care less. Funny how that goes.....

If you don't like them then don't read them. Don't try to control other people!!!

Kenswing 01-14-2022 10:28 AM

It's not so much that the topic gets old. There is new information daily that can be important. What gets old is the same 3 or 4 people spewing the same tired message to each other over and over all day long.

Marine1974 01-14-2022 10:57 AM

Do you consider me and my fellow Marine who get Covid vaccinations sheeple too ?

I enjoy reading the covid posts because we have a couple of medical professionals that separate the myth from the facts. For some reason, unlike others on here, my computer allows me to skip the threads I do not wish to read. Funny about that.

Holy horseshoes Batman......I agree with that........ damn?

Boring? Proper action, prevention, and preparation information for a worldwide pandemic? Yes, why worry? And why worry if they pushed you out of your sky-diving plane and you had yet to put on your parachute? The Alfred E. Newman strategy of life.

Are you REALLY allowed to do that? Why wasn't I told sooner?

Please quantify this statement, or is it rather those who choose not to get the shots aren't quite the sheeple others are and just get on with life.

Since the SCIENCE now states that anyone with all the shots can still get and pass on the virus what does someone have to fear of those who choose option B?

If you live in fear, then fear is your master and you shall forever be afraid.

A life without analyzing is a life NOT WORTH living. A famous quote by a famous man! Oh darn, I forgot ........that is MY quote!

Waltdisney4life 01-14-2022 03:05 PM

Many threads are to instill fear!

Red Rose 01-14-2022 03:28 PM

I prefer to Hear it on the news (which is bad enough) I don't want to read about it in Talk of The Villages. Too many opinions and misinformation.

Ask where in TV you can find rapid home COVID tests, that is Villages related.

Whether you like it or not, COVID is political - every thread goes down that road. It’s where people get nasty. I agree, I don’t read the COVID threads anymore, but there are so many, I find I don’t come to TOTV nearly as much as I used to.

We don’t have threads about enlarged prostates, glaucoma, etc. unless its to recommend a doctor near by.

There’s not a thread about the singer at Redsauce in the “Medical Discussion of Central Florida forum.”
When I am in a forum about SEC football, I read about football, not COVID.

Speaking of "good drivers" ......I found out today that there is a recent statistical increase in RECKLESS driving to the point of killing more people. Also up are suicide, drug deaths, and one other factor, which sorry, I forgot.

Good solid point!

Djean1981 01-14-2022 07:30 PM

I don't care at all if there are covid threads. I can just ignore them. However, some NON-covid threads are hijacked.. Stick to the title/topic.

You do realize that practically NO ONE has been on a ventilator for the last 4-5 months, don't you?

I'll agree that I'm sick and tired of the threads, but I disagree with the moderators silencing them... Maybe consolidate them, or set up a TEMPORARY sub-forum for them...

Oh, and it was a WWII Vintage M1911-A1, chambered in .45 ACP...
