Surely it was only set up as a few people thought it was a fuss about nothing or didn't want to panic.

OP posts:
Soubriquet · 21/03/2020 19:13

It was made because there was so many of them

Usually about the same thing

“Can I go to the park”
“Can I visit the gym”
“Can I go see my mum”
“Should I let my children play outside”
“Panic shoppers are arseholes”

These 5 usually repeated many times

I'm sick of hearing about it, I'd like to read about something else.

wanderings · 21/03/2020 19:17

they will feel cheated if things aren't as bad as they've predicted. I know. This in spades. When we have some of our freedoms back, they will then be doom-mongering with "it will come back". MN claims to hate the Daily Mail, but sometimes it's as bad as. Also people are really enjoying using phrases such as "selfish arsehole". I could fill a whole bingo card with new phrases, and that's having hidden the CV topic!

Hingeandbracket · 21/03/2020 19:17

No - why can't it all go in one place? CV stuff on CV board please. Brexit was bad enough.

TheWordmeister · 21/03/2020 19:17

I completely disagree.

I hid the topic but active conversations is still full of it. I want to see some other threads too!

RoseAndRose · 21/03/2020 19:18

**

I report a lot of misplaced threads.

But not this one, because it's interesting to see how even in AIBU posters simply don't support the proposed change.

(And arguably, it should be in Site Stuff)

JaneEyre7 · 21/03/2020 19:26

Frankly I think people are being very arrogant NOT using the CV topic.

There are some people with health anxiety; some with mental health issues; and some that just to escape every day who don't WANT to read thread after thread about people panicking about CV.

MNHQ very kindly set up a section - now all people need to do is use it. And yes that applies to you too, OP.

Hmm
TitianaTitsling · 21/03/2020 19:32

@wanderings thanks! Now done, will hopefully be able to read MN without hiding in the rafters! Here's to a CF neighbour parking thread, with diagram of course!

AngeloMysterioso · 21/03/2020 20:03

YABU, I’ve lost count of how many threads I’ve had to hide now. I’m sick to death of them.

Hippopotas · 21/03/2020 20:08

No because I don’t need to see all the scare mongering repetitive posts that drive me mad.

TitianaTitsling · 21/03/2020 20:11

And if they weren't in their own section it would swiftly descend into corona-net again!

MilleniumHallsWalledGarden · 21/03/2020 20:17

Nope.

Jente · 21/03/2020 20:47

No. They're self isolating.

Batshittery · 21/03/2020 20:52

There is a topic for it. Why post elsewhere? Would you say the same for any other topic?

wonkytonkwoman · 21/03/2020 21:07

No and YABU.

LangSpartacusCleg · 21/03/2020 21:10

YABU

Frankiecandle · 21/03/2020 21:11

No MN is unusable atm.

MNHQ should shut it down for a few weeks for everyones sake.

BabbleBee · 21/03/2020 21:13

God no. I use MN to take my mind off real life and distract me. You can’t get away from coronavirus, we need some kind of sanctuary.

FlyFishingg · 21/03/2020 21:29

Nooooooooo.

I've been at home for 9 days. I'm paying attention and understand the situation, I'm just sick of fucking talking about the virus.

I want to see some threads about fucking cat beans, CF parking threads, princessing, furries, feminism - anything apart from fucking CV quarantine talk.
