Can we have a Biden Admin Forum?

Also, can the emoji choices be expanded?

Please, and thank you. smile

Agreed and last time I tried to create a new forum you know what happened.
I couldn't get it right, but I will keep trying.
Also, I AM trying to restore the emojis, they're called GRAEMLINS in UBB Land but I cannot figure out how to restore them the way I added them on the old board.

I hope I can figure this stuff out!

Back out in the real world after wife Amy and I came down with COVID just a day apart. She tested negative this morning and I was cleared Tuesday. I tested negative after five days, then positive again the day after, and wasn't cleared until I had two negative tests in a row (which happened Tuesday). CDC says the infection rate this Memorial Day was five times higher than last year but deaths are down except for Seniors 75 and over, even with boosters. Hope they fix that before I turn 75 in December.

I agree that UBB is throwing curves at us. I'm looking for a PHP forum software that will import our UBB data to see if we can come up with something better. I hope I can stay healthy long enough to do it, with help from you folks.

I've begun adding back the "graemlins" and I am trying to figure out how to add a Biden forum which I agree is at least a year overdue.
God do I ever miss Scoutgal but now I miss her even more because she knew how to twiddle the buttons.

Here's a genuine suggestion. You have the ability to start threads. If you want to take on the responsibility of posting CHB columns for discussion (a great idea, I think), it's within your power. I think the forum still exists. Have at it, my friend. smile

No no I don't mind....the problem is, I think I must be a kind of idiot-savant or an artificially induced one.
I can learn ANY editing software in twenty minutes, okay?
But this UBB Threads software is like trying to learn Sanskrit...my brain just burps and farts when I try.

I think I WILL "get it" eventually and don't worry, I know which areas to stay away from so I won't blow up the forum.

The Telenurse also said my CPAP machine will be good to get warm moist air down into my lungs.

Take large doses of D3 as well.

You are probably past the viral stage, and into the inflammation stage. I found some fluticazone nasal spray useful at that point. AKA Flonase, but the generic is much cheaper. It's over-the-counter, no prescription required. It is a steroid, but a very mild one. You could ask your doctor if you are good to use steroids yet.

The EUA for Paxlovid says you need to be at some increased risk to get it. Like at least a senior, or with one of the comorbidities. Doesn't mean you can't get it. Apparently there is a lot of it around, it's free, and all a doc needs to do is write you a prescription. You can find drug stores, etc. with it by looking at covid.gov. I have heard a lot of reports that it works fine for anybody who is not taking certain drugs, and does even for them if they can stop that drug for a week. Those are usually "cured in 24 hours" reports.

I think it would help younger & healthier victims avoid Long Covid, by lowering their viral load quickly which would cut down on their inflammatory response.
