I'll be switching to a new source of years after over a decade reading it on yahoo. I have dealt with many format changes but this one is the worst of many bad ideas that have hindered the user experience over the years.

• No longer a way to see a list of top stories. Instead you get 4-5 stories under each category, forcing you to check each category individually rather than a ready list of top stories from each being presented.


• New design is not for readers. The new design is a picture book of huge pictures and (sometimes misleading) headlines. No story preview of the first paragraph to help assess what one wants to read. Though the large pictures make it obvious you no longer want to report print news. I am over the age of five. My news needs no picture, much less the picture being the only preview to the story received.


• The "More for you" section likely is the feed we were used to seeing but it's at the very bottom and with a redesign this extensive I don't trust it. For me? I don't log in to review my news so what is the "For Me" based on?

Terrible redesign over all. Switching to the very next source I can find that emulates the previous format.

The "POST" (COMMENT) icon at the end of all of the Yahoo news articles, is extremely close to the down icon where you can scroll up and down as you write and edit your comment before posting. If I don't hover my little mouse arrow all the way to the extreme right side of the down arrow it will post my comment before i'm ready. Basically it is extremely hard and precarious to try to even use the up and down icons, most especially the down icon arrow if I want to scroll up and then back DOWN again while writing and editing my comment prior to actually (intentionally) pressing "POST". You have to click on the very edge of the down arrow and even still it might go ahead and post it prematurely, accidently. If you would just move the "POST" button icon somewhere else it would be extremely helpful. It's just too dang close to the down arrow that navigates the pre posted comment box. Please consider this adjustment. I mean it's really super sensitive and precariously placed. Any where near the POST button icon is an active zone that can trigger the POST action prematurely, it's crazy. Please consider moving either the POST icon or the up and down navigation tool so they are not so dang close to each other. Dangerously close in fact. I hover on the very edge as far as I can scoot over and still be hovering over the down arrow and I click it and BANG my half written comment gets posted. I can also click two or three times on the down arrow trying to scroll back down to the bottom of my pre posted comment, (all while hovering as close to the opposing edge of the arrow icon as humanly possible) and BAM my comment has been posted prematurely. What i'm saying is premature posting is a serious issue that warrants some discussion among your site designers, so how about a little courtesy elbow room for my floating hovering arrow and finger icon that my mouse controls. It's like when i'm on Yahoo my hovering mouse icon's finger is abnormally HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! Like I have a giant *** finger, but only on Yahoo news comments. There is all kinds of space there, can you please consider using some of that wide open empty space and move that "POST" icon over a little? C'mon y'all, just give us an inch so my mouse finger doesn't feel like it's taking up a mile of space. Thanks for taking the time to read my comme

Can you publish this material?
Today, Mar 23 2020, I had a phone conference with the congressman Rick Larson about coronaviruses and look what happened.
I regret not allowing me to talk on the conference call today. I registered to ask a question and I got a conformation message but finally I was not invited to talk. I understand that people shall not know that is a cure and prevention for diseases. That is to enhance immune system to prevent and cure diseases. The book provides enough concepts to find the way to enhance immune system.
Here is my prepared talk on the phone if I would be allowed:
"Hi Mr. Rick Larson.
I am David Muresan from Camano Island Washington state. As you know I am an inventor with 7 patents and many more new ideas. One of my idea is about special clothes capable to keep the body heat inside of our body. These clothes have a sauna effect and I call them Portable Sauna. I develop and use my portable sauna over 20 years and I did not have a major infection in this time. Moreover, I kissed my wife twice, two years apart, when she had a severe upper respiratory infection and I did not get any infection. My immune system digested any virus I took from my wife.
Is the government interested to allow doctors to experiment my Portable Sauna on patients?"

Also I wrote to president Trump today the following and I ask if you can pay attention to it?
"Mr. President.
Is time for a new approach in human health. That is to use our own immune system to prevent and cure infections. I wish to work in your administration to conduct such researches. I have the knowledge and objectivity to do such a work. The objective will be also to find the origin of viruses and prevention. Also we shall find the causes of each disease. The explanation that the cause of a disease is not known shall not be allowed any longer among health care professionals. We conquer the space and we cannot find a simple thing, how the viruses are born. We may propose simple experiments and an objective conclusion may lead us to results. We may engaged scientist from all over the world to come with ideas presented through emails. What you have to do is to approve such a research and to form a board of 3 competent people. I wish to be one of them. David Muresan

This Doctor is telling you you have the panic pandemic not the reality based influenza normal threat that is much more totally important.

Any death and sickness is too much. But what should the USA prioritize?

See Johns Hopkins web sites.

C19 world cases: 207,000. Deaths 8,000 = 3.8% of diagnosed cases. Data is of poor quality confounded by testing rates, selection of tested subjects etc. Not good science guys.

Numbers of undiagnosed & mild infections, just like influenza, presenting as a sniffle or common cold or URI. There is no such thing as a ‘flu” as the word is commonly used. Untested folks and numbers do not enter into statistics that would LOWER the death rate computations. 1,000s more with limited symptoms and Influenza than C19.

C19 US cases: 7,000. Deaths 55 = 0.07% Data and scientific reliability issues equally suspect.

INFLUENZA USA Cases: 26-29,000,000 (millions not thousands) cases in above average year. Deaths 24,-14,000. Death rate = 0.09% Per CDC.
Influenza deaths / C19 deaths = 24,-14,000 / 55.

Influenza vaccine is available and safe despite anti vax hysteria. Ask any real doctor if they give influenza vaccine to their own kids and families- vast majority will say yes. Yet only 50% of USA gets influenza vaccine that, this year, is 45-55% effective per CDC. So 7,000-12,000 preventable annual USA influenza deaths vs 55 from C19- if there was a C19 vaccine. All of this noise is about precisely the wrong thing per real scientific data and social/personal impact.

We don’t waste billions and execute our economy and social /personal lives based on the every year event of Influenza, which is much worse for deaths, real costs, and morbidity. C19 is a pimple on a log. Please don’t make it a PANICDEMIC.

By not providing this background rate. Yahoo is only actively spreading disinformation, putting emotion before reality. Yes, keep reporting on C19, but you are overlooking a much bigger but less flashy issue!!! PLEASE!!!
