Would this make more sense as a dedicated forum?

We've been thinking about whether this subforum would make more sense as a forum. Partly because it seems to be getting enough traffic to warrant its own dedicated forum, and also because a lot of the COVID stuff isn't just relevant to Health & Wellbeing and is arguably related to all parts of life.

That being said, the nature of a virus is that it's predominantly a health issue, so maybe a subforum is best. A subforum is also less physically visible than a full forum if you're using the tabular view (via the home page), which we understand a lot of folks might appreciate for self-care reasons.

What do you think?

All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.

    Although it looks like a lot of people would rather have the first option right now, we'll give an extra day (Monday) for people to vote before continuing with the popular choice :)

    I think a forum of its own, as shaunie said its taken over our lives, its a big part of how we live just now so having it as its own forum makes sense 😊

    I don’t really mind either way but a forum could be good because then people would know it’s not just for the health side of coronavirus and for all discussions about it.

    Results were in, and the forum itself has been edited accordingly.
