The CDC recommends that Senior Citizens stock up on food and other non-food supplies and hunker down at home if possible! Here is the issue with that Senior Citizens only receive monthly Social Security checks and they don't always fall at the beginning of the month. I and my husband are Senior Citizens his check comes the 3rd Wednesday of the month...mine arrives on the 4th Wednesday each month. We do not have a car any longer it broke down just before Halloween in 2019, we rely on our neighbors for transportation which we are happy to help them with gasoline expenses as this is only right. When it's time to go grocery shopping which will be this coming Wednesday we might be faced with possibly not being able to buy what we need due to hoarding. This Coronavirus will run its course and some Media affiliates are overdramatizing it as if it was Bubonic Plague, now there is hoarding in the Grocery Stores...Supplies are being triple shipped if not more due to hoarding. Now we all will be dealing with ( Supply & Demand ) price increases due to the hoarding. These individuals hoarding more than likely have jobs...children...bills to pay...along with cars to get them to and from were they need to go. Now the manufacturers are more than likely going to increase the prices of those products due to the hoarding knowing they can get it. When this CoVid 19 is over it has run its course...now these hoarders have no money for their bills...Credit cards are maxed out but they have their supplies of goods and others do not...heres the kicker though...now these hoarders are crying about the increase of all those supplies being too high in price at the same store's where they bought them from just a month or so ago all due to over Media panic has set in their Minds in believing everything that is told to them through the Main Stream Media...as for Fox News, this is a different story...sure you have to comply with some of this only due to your Corporate levels and procedures within the Governmental Law. We live in a Rural town with NO Public Transportation...NO Taxi's...not all Seniors have cash on hand for Dail-A-Ride, which is also limited and the costs are about $5.00 to $ 7.00 dollars one way and when you live in the outskirts of the main Rural Town then it gets worse. Now when its time for us to go grocery shopping we will usually do it for a month at that time...but now these hoarders have put us those Senior Citizen in Jeopardy to over HOARDING...this needs to be addressed NOW by either you Fox News or pass it along to the Governor...Someone needs to listen to the Voices of those Senior Citizens.

I'll let the people who were censored by their government, and overthrew that government, tell you how important freedom of the press/speech REALLY is.

“For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.”
George Washington

“Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Let us dare to read, think, speak and write.”
John Adams

“If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed.”
Benjamin Franklin

So...censoring the publics right to their opinion is simply betraying the public.
So...open it up. Find your balls, if you have any. Jump in, the waters fine.
I originally liked your product, until you decided to throttle/choke/censor public opinion. Actually, the comments were more entertaining than the articles.
For the love of all that's holy, IN A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, while people are sitting around with their thumbs in their ***** and their minds in neutral, be the mold breaker. Invite lively discussion and differing opinions.

Free press. Free speech. Try it some time.

Well, it seems MANY MANY MANY others have already beaten me to it...!!

As SOoooo many others before me have already stated...PLEASE BRING BACK the comments and thumbs up/down features. Before I continue you should know I've been with Yahoo for AT LEAST TWENTY years, my current DEFAULT personal email kadman59@yahoo.com was my FIRST-EVER personal email account and it remains my #1 personal account. With that said, my "relationship" with Yahoo is now in its THIRD DECADE but at the rate things are going it doesn't look like it will make it to a fourth. Yahoo has made MANY decisions over the decades I've been using its services and I have to say I've DISAGREED with a majority of them. Despite this, I've remained with Yahoo for reasons even I cannot explain. That said, I'd like to think there's perhaps a modicum of appreciation on Yahoo's part for MY loyalty to all things "YAHOO". And with this modicum of appreciation there's perhaps a "willingness" on Yahoo's part to "take to heart" what one of its longest "family" members has to say. As I recall there came a point in somewhat recent time where an increasing majority of the comments being posted under Yahoo News articles became RIFE with animus and outright HATRED. The DIVISION amongst our citizens this occurrence manifested, of our once "United" States of America, was both staggering and frightening! Even worse IMHO is the fact that despite your removal of the comments feature, this division has not only NOT lessened, it has increased. SO...if your hope in removing the comments feature was to stem this overwhelming tidal wave of division, it has failed. IF on the other hand you removed the comments feature for some purpose other than that which you purport it to be...what is it you're saying? "...in the interest of promoting communal harmony..."?, PLEASE DO TELL! Because as I've already said, we're even further away from community "harmony" than we were BEFORE you removed the comments feature. In fact, for this reason and many others as well, PLEASE bring back the comments feature! In bringing it back you WILL reap the benefit of bringing back MANY MANY MANY other "fellow" but now FORMER Yahoo-ers"...!

Respectfully and sincerely,

John Jarvis
