Hi Rob, If i may take possession of the conch.
As we all know, your Punaweb rules are " Keep it Hawaii " Yes, check and agree. This is an awesome "community square" forum with great local info and even national resources on tap from the many posters here today + archives. Humblest thanks for hosting it all these years.
As you have reiterated, there are many other forums to go wade into on X topics concerning non local and fringe ideas.
But this Covid is different. Its both global and in our face. Unavoidably conjoined and messing with us all on a daily basis. Keiki to Kapuna
People want to talk about it, share stories and gleen new, fresh information.
Your forum here is a unique, fantastic resource for enable this to happen. National News not talking about Puna /BI. Where else can we go ?
With few exceptions, the folks here are having civil discussions and posting relevant info to bolster they point. I don't see people running wild, ugly or going off on ad hominem attacks. Nor offshore trolls dropping in.
Just like any talk story conversation, topic may stray or, in this case, jump off the Island or even state. That doesn't make it any less relevant when sharing info on this ( Covid ) life altering reality we are facing right here. People are wanting HEALTH information. And its NOT coming from local news.
I figure this dilemma / quandary ( keep it local ) is a tough call on a daily basis,, i feel ya... .. and maybe you don't agree with all info. But on this Cobid topic Rob, i feel you could allow a little more Kuleana kine leeway for the good of local folks to both post and read what all is out there to be more fully infiormed. Let us read it all, ask questions and decide for ourselves.
mahalo
