[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue is that there's at least one person running around saying non-sequiter and alarming things about delta.  They don't generally offer any support for their alarming statements (and when asked say "just google it").

That suggests the person's aim is to either

1) just freak out on DCUM in some sort of attempt to seek others who agree with them (I'm not saying this is bad -- I've done it)
2) spread alarmist info in the attempt to....what?  They don't really say what they are hoping to achieve.  This suggests it's possibly because they are just trying to freak people out.

Note:  There are other people who are saying "delta is worrisome so we should wear masks", or "delta is worrisome so we should require vaccinations of those who can get one."  That's different than what the non-sequiter poster is doing.[/quote]
1. it's spelled non-sequitur;
2. it's at least 3 of us, because I saw others '+1'-ing each other;
3. Just because you don't want to see the connection doesn't mean there isn't one. People butt in to bring up delta, when others are pontificating on what happened at their school in May 2020, which is. not. relevant. People butt in to bring up delta, when others are "putting their foot down" saying things like "enough is enough, it is time to [drop the mask/return to 2019 life/stop with the pandemic pr*n]"
4. "delta is here and it's more contagious'' is becoming the biggest platitude and yet you a) want to pretend delta isn't here and spring 2020 data / anecdotes are relevant and b) are building the most inane conspiracy theories about why posters are bringing it up in the threads you frequent. You're being ridiculous! [/quote]

Thank you for correcting my spelling.

You realize "+1" can be written by the same person who wrote the original post, right?

I'm glad you are admitting that you aren't making the connection explicitly in the threads in which you are writing.  You are expecting others to do it.  But often, there isn't any simple connection.  On a thread about whether people are pulling their kids out next year, a post says something like "delta is 1,000 percent more transmissible!!!!"  Full stop.  What's the connection?  When asked, you respond "Why aren't you taking delta seriously?"  I mean, you can say "delta is more transmissible and therefore I'm worried and am not sending my kids to in-person school this year."  As it is, you seem like you are interested in inducing fear.

No one is pretending delta isn't something to think about.  It's just we are measuring risk to understand how worrisome.  Questioning unsupported claims about its danger is not ignoring it, but that's the narrative you are leaping to.  That's either a panic response on your part, or is something you are doing to instill panic.

Also, what is "pr*n"?  Prawns?  Porn?  [/quote]
