Should I pin this thread to the top? I'm thinking that'd be a good idea, since it's constantly updating and isn't just one news item.

Can you believe the nerve of that guy? This group is not for him in any way shape or form yet he's trying to tell me how to run it.

He helped make up my mind. I'm going to sticky this thread.

You can see the map categories all at once, which is a) an eye opener of how deaths are categorized, and b) an awareness builder.
