Re: Should we close the sightings threads?
Sure, if one is going out for essentials anyway, and visits the toy section while they are there, that is not much of a big(ger) deal.
But I can also see that should someone report that something(s) of interest is on the shelf, that might prompt other members to make a trip in search of such item.
Create justification:
"Ohh, report of *** at Heartland? Maybe STC has it now too. I suppose I am low on TP with only 8 12-packs left, so I have get more of that anyway..."
So, I can understand the thought behind the suggestion to close threads.
However, it is unnecessary.
If one truly agrees with isolation (and thread-locking) they will not go out if they see a sighting posted, and/or would not post a sighting, if they do have need to go out and make a side-trip to the toy department.
If one does not agree with isolation, they would be going out regardless of whether or not there is a post in the sighting threads.
Just be safe everyone. And, it is not just about personal health; It is about the health of everyone. Not everyone gets (significantly) sick, but everyone can be a carrier.
