I'm completely with you on this.
I know we are in the minority but it depresses me the thread is perpetually at the top of the page. I was happy a couple of days ago thinking it was finally nuked.
This site has always been an escape for me, but now I can't visit without Covid 19 being the first thing I see.
I clicked on it when it first appeared and was shocked that it's basically everything this site typically forbids.
Thankfully the main boards and other team boards haven't followed suit.
I wish I could say the divisiveness this pandemic has brought surprises me, but I fully expected it.
I guess look at it this way - having a Covid thread at least keeps all pandemic-related discussion in the one place. Yes some of the usual restrictions have been relaxed in there but the issue and those rule changes have been quarantined to one location.
It's obviously a seismic problem so I think it's reasonable to have a place where it can be talked about. This way it doesn't infect other areas of the board, well not much!
