I am absolutely with you on that - mine was a "stay safe" wrapped in a little humor. The part where it began to drift into discussion of media and government roles in responding to and informing us about the threat gets us close to political territory, and down that road often lies madness.
I deeply value the community here but I recognize its coherence and kind nature depends in part on on its focus remaining on that which unites us - guitar stuff. You guys are all too valuable to me for what we share with one another here. It saddens me when the tone of the discourse here runs into the shadow of politics, where disagreement is sometimes worn as a badge of pride, rather than seen as an invitation to find commonality in spite of it. I have a great deal of respect for all the members of this group - some of whom I know I have very different views from mine, politically and otherwise - who nevertheless shed their tribal affiliation in the name of sharing and mutual appreciation and exploration of guitars, music, and related topics.
This was all probably pretty incoherent, but: Hey, y'all, stay safe, wash your hands, and thank you for being a community I love to participate in. Rock on, etc., etc.
