COVID: I’m talking to you America..

[Queen2Green]

Do y’all really want to get this virus under control? Get your local and state governments on board with contact tracing..

America needs 100k+ contact tracers, and 30 million folks are unemployed. There HAS to be 100k people that are willing to do this. I’m looking at you non believers and keyboard warriors. Folks who think it’s ok to send children back to school full time. It’s ok for you to fight the good fight too then.

Contact tracing combined with masks and social distancing is how other countries are managing and even beating COVID. We can do it too. We just need a coordinated effort across the states.

Do you need a job? If you’re healthy, able and willing to do what it will likely take to keep America open - here’s more info:

is redundant and political.

Either way it is out of place.

Ok? Thank you I guess, for the backhanded way of relating that information. Seems to me like you may be the one with a bad attitude? I was just inspired to start a thread on what I feel is a very relevant point.

I was initially going to post this in the political section, but I thought about it and Covid ain’t political - it’s social. So I checked here, seen there was a Covid thread in this section, and thought it was ok.

Thanks for your guidance. Is there anything else you feel I should know, since you stopped in? I’m new around here.. I don’t typically make excuses, but I sincerely didn’t realize my thread would be an issue here.

Is there a way to move it?

I requested this thread be moved to Politics. On more thought, it isn’t at home there either, as the mods also realize.
There doesn’t seem to be a plainly apt subforum for your information.

Perhaps your best option is to ask for a thread deletion and repost the central info minus the political content, here in this subforum.

Out of curiosity, when you say “get local and state government on board”, how to proceed without engaging in activism? (Activism is definitively political, and many of us value T&T as a refuge from politics in any guise.)

Mind explaining your “if this is how you will react..” statement?

Honestly curious about your take on my reaction. Yes I know the original post may be a bit inflammatory, serious issues usually are and I was looking for a conversation about this specifically, not a wide range of covid and political topics. This is about us doing something, as a community, to help ourselves.

However, considering what I wanted to say, I thought I handled my response more respectfully than his reply. We all have our opinions though..

I had a serious debate about this subject last night. It appears quite a bit of americans are under the assumption that Covid isn’t contagious through asymptomatic carriers and contact tracing doesn’t work. Those same Americans battling on their keyboard about “what America should do” are also unwilling to work to make a difference.

I’ve visited “your” political forums and I see exactly how it can be. Mad assumptions, disrespect, etc. I enjoy my time there anyways.

Quick question: Have I broke any rules by posting this here?

Sorry not sorry that I am a blunt person who is not scared to ask the hard questions and challenge the public to put their money where their mouth is.

Queen2Peen???

Yep, didn’t take long. Exactly my point. Round up the bullies! It’s ok..I can take the disrespect like a champ. I’m all to used to this shit. Can you?

People can request others threads to be moved? Is this place completely segregated or what? Here I thought from looking at plant knowledge and these forums for years that RIU leaned to the left. I stand corrected.

There doesn’t seem to be a forum for my question? Are you kidding me? Have you seen this place and the things people post?? LOL. I didn’t imagine much of anything was out of bounds..

How to proceed without engaging in activism? Talk to people. Write letters, make phone calls, talk to your friends and family, pester your elected officials to get on board. Far too many localities are not doing enough to identify and isolate contagious people. There is plenty of ways without activism. Communicate. Sadly most have seemed to forget that.

This is not a political question. It’s a challenge for Americans to DO better. This is a social issue and effects all of us. That’s why I put it here. So we can communicate, brainstorm, and do better.

If I came across rude, I wasn’t trying to be. I am bluntly asking America to stand up and do what needs to be done, for the better of all of us and our health. What I specifically want to talk about is not political. It’s about life saving measures for everyone.

This is who I am and I mean well. Peace

By definition you are promoting a GRASSROOTS movement.
Grassroots

A grassroots movement is one which uses the people in a given district, region, or community as the basis for a political or economic movement. Grassroots movements and organizations use collective action from the local level to effect change at the local, regional, national, or international level. Grassroots movements are associated with bottom-up, rather than top-down decision making, and are sometimes considered more natural or spontaneous than more traditional power structures.

The Report function exists so that when anyone of us sees a perhaps inappropriate post, we can bring it to the attention of site mods.

What puzzles me about your response to my action is how you determine if it leans left or right.
You know nothing about my political affinities, and it’s gonna stay that way.

Shame. I saw you out in the wilderness of not-T&T and thought you were pretty cool. To be politically pigeonholed for it ... (gets on phone and discusses deposit return with caterer and florist)

What? I didn't say a word about your political affiliation or make any assumptions of such. That's just more of your assumptions. First you assumed I was talking about political activism, now you are twisting my words. I said i've been around this forum for years and my impression was that RIU leans (key word, LEANS) to the left, so I didn't expect to deal with forum post segragation. Again, I was wrong. I can admit it. But this ain't right either.

It's not a shame for me, but for you and your assumptions of my character due to one short conversation. I am pretty cool overall. Others probably are too, if ya give them a chance. I also happen to be passionate about humanity and I won't apologize for being real.

Smell the flowers! It will brighten your day.

LOL what movement? I asked a question. Yall are something else seriously. This is everything that's wrong with the world.

Assumptions followed with herd bullying...disrespect..no empathy or understanding.. Why are you on this thread if you don't want to see it? You're wasting your time and mine because I will not change my mind about this thread, and the reason I posted it. If i'm breaking a rule, just say so. I guess I need to look around. Or boot me out. IDC. I creeped on this forum for 10 years before I ever made an account. I am fine not having one too..

I don't watch the news. Also this ain't about "knowing my special secret info" it's about understanding what's been put out there with all the NEWS nonsense and inspiring others to do something about it. I've been doing this all my life and I'm quite confident I've created change for the better. You should try it some time.

As someone who does watch the news, I'm here to let you know that the info in your OP is broadcast each day. So you can rest a little easier. Just curious, what are your metrics for determining how you've changed things for the better?

 

[Queen2Green]

No...it is not. It's simple communication with the world. Being high risk, I can't go out in the world right now to use my voice. So I use it online to talk with folks about social issues. I honestly try to dodge politics onine because I get sick of people slinging insults rather than communicating.

This is not what you're making it out to be. It was meant to be a conversation starter about "we the people" needing more contact tracers, so all of us are better protected. Yes, I used an inflammatory choice of words to create conversation. Guilty of that. So many want to run their mouths about how covid is the flu and healthy people won't die. I am challanging them people to do better, and advising them the CDC needs contact tracers since they are not worried about the virus. Is that really so bad??

This is a call to arms.

No, it seriously is not. I am not using anyone as "the basis for a political or economic movement." This is a social issue and it effects everyone.
