FWIW my vote is to allow other medical advice and opinion stuff to stay in IMHO. They are of a very different thing than the emerging infectious disease risks, that COVID was and others threaten to become. Or not. If we get any warning under current systems.

Can we at least have an “emerging infectious diseases” tag?

I don’t frequent MPSIMS much and missed the ongoing measles discussion more than as “breaking news” there for a long time.
