Coronavirus subforum?

Lots of you might be trying to get away from Coronavirus talk right now, and we're super aware that being around more of those conversations here might make it feel like it's harder to escape. Equally, we want information around coronavirus to be visible enough for people to find it when they need it.
Would having a (probably temporary) subforum for Coronavirus conversations be a good idea to help
everyone look after themselves and avoid those conversations if they
want to? Or would it make more sense to keep them in the main Health & Wellbeing forum?
All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.

but seeing a whole subforum for it will stress me out even more, as feel making its even more bigger thing. Not that im trying to miimise it - anythinn that kills people is serious but many things are killing people in this world that dont get the same media like the flu and stuff like washing your hands should be being done already
A subforum would be easier to avoid, compared to having 3 threads pinned on health and wellbeing, much rather they weren't there.
But also for people who wish to avoid to have a safe space.
As a medical hypochondriac i think its very important to have somewhere you can go for a break away from the headlines to and to reduce anxiety.
But some people need reassurance in sad times to deal with the panic so i think a sub forum would be really handy.
As people can get support and others can ignore it easier.
I'm a big one for clicking big pinned posts so i'd be more inclined to unhealthly read about it
