Temporary Coronavirus Forum?

JaneMarple · ‎05-23-2011

Is it possible MODS to have a temporary forum devoted to this pandemic? Since it does affect us all, and we can get and share information that may help us.

The wellness forum gets overlooked by many so we could combine that forum with CC to keep from repeating old news concerning this very important topic.

@JaneMarple - Great idea! The more we share with each other the more we will know about this deadly pandemic.

I'd rather get my news and updates from the medical professionals on TV.

I think it's better to get information from the CDC website or your local news...

I am on other forums and the amount of misinformation is scary....

There were people who said drinking rubbing alcohol would kill it and taking alcohol baths kept the virus off you........and some people believed it!!

I agree that it would be nice to have all the threads about that topic in the same section, but I think if that forum were created, most posters would continue to post the threads in the forums they've been using instead of using a newly created forum.

I understand why you want a temporary forum. However, the biggest issue is mis-information. There are so many false reports and I could see those spreading in a forum. We need to rely on the CDC and medical professionals for information.

At work we were told that the state has released that the best website for our updates for current information about Cornavirus is DHEC (in South Carolina it's SCDHEC).

Of course, there's always potential for misinformation, but a new Coronavirus forum would just be a chance to put all of the currently posted information in the same spot rather than having it spread out throughout the Q community. I like that idea for a couple of reasons: 1) easy to find all topics at once; 2) other forums might return to normal. Again, I like the idea of having a Coronavirus forum, but I'm not so sure everybody would use it since we've already had off-topic threads in various forums that were posted there because that's where the OPs usually post.

Yes please, please. Those of us or should I say me that is not obsessed with the flu would like to be able to read other posts without it. It has creeped into several forums.
