Who came up with the term "social distancing"? It is a wretched term, and it is inaccurate.

If anything, we are having more communication with family and friends than usual. The use of video...

But please, can everyone be polite in their "social distancing". I work retail; I saw some sad behavior this weekend in the waiting lines, especially toward seniors, and toddlers. Really, does toilet...

There’s be a recent fuss about that I privately requested a member (Mayacaman) to refrain further posting about Colloidal Silver and the Hudder Clark “Zapper” with regard to the Coronavirus after...

I'm sorry- but there is not a single article in respectable science supporting the use of colloidal silver. To the contrary- there are many showing it's harms. Yes- there's lots of claims from the...

Much appreciate this advice...so true from the articles I am seeing that hand washing is most effective. Interesting and makes sense that sanitizer is used for those without running water. Fear sure...

PLEASE DO NOT distract people from legitimate, scientifically sound advice concerning the threat of COVID-19 by recommending quack cures such as colloidal silver. There is NO evidence that colloidal...

It's easy to believe the homeless are that way because of drug (including alcohol) addictions....

The statement that there are enough beds in Sonoma County to shelter everyone without a home (about 3,000 people) is absolutely false. And know that some of the shelters are huge spaces with many...

In doing a little research for a project a while back (and I am NOT an expert) I was educated enough to see that some of my thoughts on homeless were quite narrow.

Homeless can be made up of any...

While not making any excuse for this tragedy, this discussion should be aware that the removal of the empty nests behind the Annex before nesting season is a routine practice that is endorsed by...

This is sad. We had cliff swallows nesting on our house, under the eaves, until a few years ago when their numbers began to drop until last year when they didn't show up at all. We would look...

with all due respect, i'd like to point out that these points have been brought to both the SR City Council and the BOS, for quite a long time, both by the homeless themselves and homeless advocates,...

I've split of this homelessness discussion in that cropped up from the "Coffey Park residents wary of grand plans" thread. New thread title is Homelessness after the fires.
