I (not quite jokingly) suggested taking medical advice out of IMHO and merging the existing quarantine zone into just such a thread a while back. And I still think it’s a good idea. IMHO has plenty of traffic, and the board has plenty of medical / health questions.

It was back when another poster suggested a dedicated Trump forum due to Trump crawling into far too many otherwise unrelated discussions. But that’s a whole other can of worms!
