Why do Covid-related threads get locked?

I think about the times in our country’s history when the citizenry was called upon to makes sacrifices and now shake my head when people freak out over wearing a mask at the grocery store. 

Wellllll..... lets just say I feel good that my states leaders wear masks when they address the public.... and can actually say the word “mask”.

However our LT Guv had a problem when this started as he went out for a walk with his mask and scared the crap out of people. Dude is size of a redwood and looks (more than) kind of like a biker (shaved(?) head and salt n pepper goatee). He told of the experience on his twitter feed and someone said “have you looked in the mirror you would scare people wearing a mask”. Lt Guv response was “true”...

Maybe because this is a website related to Drum Corps?  If I want information on COVID-19, DCP is one of the last places I would look to.

But that's just me.

Alcohol is the only thing keeping this train on the rails at the point. 

I'm kidding.  Sort of.  I don’t even know. 😇🍷🤪🤷‍♀️

I think it is because everything related to COVID-19 has become politicized and it is darn near impossible to say anything about it that won’t be refuted by someone of the opposing viewpoint.

In my case, I recognize that I am hypersensitive about the subject because of personal experience. All in all, it is a perfect storm for things to spiral out of control.

Well Covid 19 does relate to drum-corp because there is no 2020 season. And 2021 season is locked  into how we deal with Covid 19 so yes it's all connected...

Well I like to get the on the ground view of others experiences with this mess without dealing with biases of other places I could look. At least here I don’t get called a leftist because I asked a question (cuz you know we’re all alike) 😜

The "discussion" of COVID veered way off the context of Drum Corps.  It quickly turns into dueling bar graphs, self-aggrandizing pseudo-scientists, and personal attacks.  If you are a moderator why would you want to have to constantly police something like that?  Easier to cut it off entirely. 

This is a privately owned website and I don't blame them.

To quote a great movie, it's because "they don't have meetings about rainbows."

Are you saying that this topic is the screw driver to the neck of DCP?
