A Dedicated Covid Thread....please!!
30 Answers
This was requested on March 18...over a month ago, by apg. No action was taken, and in the meantime we've been absolutely overrun with threads. Frankly, it's depressing to come across gloom, doom, conspiracy, and endless analysis of the rights and wrongs of how it's being handled. We need escapism and lightheartedness. Please can all the Covid threads be put in one place, so we might avoid if desired. Thank you.

PASTA is wanting a dedicated thread (category?) in order to avoid the numerous threads because they are depressing.
If folk are depressed, will they not be depressed still when the same thread is constantly appearing in the latest posts?

//If you do that the News section will die as it’s just about the only story.//
That's because the only news in the papers or on TV at present is the virus. There must be other things going on. Murders, robberies, all sorts. But its Covid, Covid, Covid. There's only so much that can be reported: the latest numbers, the latest episode of ineptitude by NHS managers and politicians and any new developments regarding a cure or a preventative measure. But on it goes. We get reports on the lockdown from six different parts of the country each night (all near enough identical not only to each other but to previous offerings); we get a completely incomprehensible report from inside a hospital where viewers don't have clue what's being said because all the speakers are encased in masks and other protection; we get a slot on some "virtual" concert or other that somebody who nobody knows has arranged with their friends and family. The Covid news can be covered in five minutes: latest figures and any developments. It is extremely tedious and that's why the AB's News section is similarly so.
