Thread Pin's are intended for threads that are announcements that need to reach the broad audience.
This puts the focus on the thread being Accurate and not a hot topic but a Grounded topic.
If this thread is to be maintained as a Pinned Topic, then we will need to split this thread, with the pinned topic providing accurate information and staying level.
A secondary discussion thread can wax speculatively.
EDIT:
Topic has now been split. This pinned thread carries the notification along with posts that address preventative care.
