UPDATED 5/13
Now respected medical and science officials employed by the US Government are being disparaged by elected officials. All we can do is play it by ear.
UPDATED 5/11
This has been the most difficult thread HF Bruins has ever dealt with and it mirrors the reality that we continue to live through something that is unprecedented.
The only way this thread can function going forward is to declare statements made at the Federal level are OFF LIMITS. The exception to this would be statements made by qualified medical and science officials.
In the US and Canada, it is state, provincial, and municipal leaders who are leading the response. They are the ones who will decide when things will start to reopen - NOT leaders in Washington and Ottawa.
Obviously the reopening of the border between the US and Canada will be handled at the Federal level and that is a bridge we will cross when that happens.
Please stay safe everyone.
MASSACHUSETTS DASHBOARD
This is a trying time for all of us no matter where you live.
Right now politics should be set aside. We all have government leaders at the Federal and State/Provincial levels telling us what we must do to get through this.
Adhere to the rules below regarding discussion that is political in nature or you will be warned and permanently removed from this series of threads.
Considering we are relaxing forum rules regarding political discussion, what steps "over the line" is completely at the discretion of the moderation team. Examples of what constitutes appropriate discourse are listed below. When in doubt, don't post it.
UPDATED 4/30 - Compounding this is the Boston area and Massachusetts have been hit harder than most areas and local media and local officials have been blunt over the mixed signals coming from Washington.
UPDATED 5/8 - General Flynn is OFF TOPIC
One thing is clear - Boston and Massachusetts will be among the last areas to even attempt a reopening.
Do not wish harm or infection on members of the public, including the press, be it an individual or network/outlet/newspaper, etc.
It is becoming apparent that threadbans/infractions aren't enough for some people. The next step is a forum ban until hockey season starts.
***
We are going to follow similar rules for this thread that exist in the COVID-19 forum.
You may critique the response of LOCAL government but don't make it political.
Posts attributing motives because it involves this or that political party/politician/ideology will not be tolerated.
Miracle cures, home remedies, and medical advice should not be posted.
