CORONA Virus / COVID-19
This forum is intended to be a general knowledge base for things relating to the Corona Virus pandemic. We encourage topics relating real useful and helpful to our general membership, such as how to get help in particular states (both health wise as well as economic and even food bank info) or even local communities and cities. Anything related to how to live with this thing is allowed, including videos.
Since all info may change over time and may indeed change very fast, the topic must be dated in its first line if not in the title. This is necessary to avoid passing out dated and incorrect info.
No topics that are considered Speculative, Unverified Content and/or Click-Bait will be allowed in this forum. No topics concerning such info as to rates, total numbers of confirmed cases or deaths allowed. Those are to be placed in the normal forums such as General Discussion. No stories on politics and/or platforms relating to the virus are allowed, and should be placed into the normal forums for them as well.
This forum is for useful, truthful and helpful information directly related to surviving the virus. All topics deemed otherwise will be locked immediately by the mods and admins and removed if they determine it to be such.

Creative Speculation
This group (and its subgroups) are for issues that: 1. are highly-charged, and 2. there are two or more sides to the story, and all sides will not likely come to agreement in the near future Basically, if you're posting on JPR about any topic that has a subgroup here, that post should go here, unless it's legitimately Latest Breaking News. The main difference between these groups and other groups/forums, is that we're waiving the rule that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You can quote some guy on a blog as proof, and it'll be up to your fellow JPR netizens to accept it or push back. Also, posts in this group may not go to JPR's homepage. One rule that definitely does apply is to not accuse people, particularly non-public figures, of serious crimes unless there is some seriously-good evidence. E.G., if you need to accuse someone of molesting children because of the combination of "code words" they used in an email, we'll all be happier if you do that somewhere else, JPR's management as a whole takes no position on any issue here, although some of us may wade in representing only ourselves. That does not mean that you can use doctored photos, print or video. Any intentional use of fabrication will be removed and the poster may be banned. No Pizzagate. Take it elsewhere. All other rules at JackpineRadicals apply. Most importantly, no personal attacks and no hate sites
