I was just counting this, when I stumbled across this thread.

I think the forum should temporarily create a sub-section of “coronavirus threads.”

For those who are actively participating in the low information diet (aside what is 100% necessary to remain safe), the hysteria is stressful/annoying. It’s bad enough it’s all over facebook, every news site, etc.

But is the growth in threads linear or exponential?  Is it essential to place coronavirus thread in lockdown or will mere social distancing (refraining from commenting) be enough?  🤣

Definitely need to quarantine the covid19 threads into their own category to make sure they don't infect the rest of the forum.

It is shocking, SHOCKING, that this has not been implemented yet, but I just have to assume it's a conspiracy and that the governing bodies here are not taking the covid threads as seriously as they should. I've seen other forums absolutely overwhelmed with these threads and now it's all anyone talks about and if it happened there, it could happen here.

And also, I'm hoarding the letters L, O and T because I fear there will be a shortage of them soon. And ampersands. I have them stacked neatly in my garage and have been forced to park the car in the driveway but I feel this is a necessary move considering. And no, I'm not sharing.

Hearts @Frankies Girl maybe she will share her ampersands with me, if I ask really nicely.  :D
