No, I don't think we should allocate resources of bitcointalk and adding more oil to an on-going problem by letting them have a battleground to go wild about it. Who knows, might not be as 'civil' as they trying in Politics & Society board.
Hopefully, this corona virus will soon blow over in the next year and everything will back to normal. Should not treat this one-time-only event as something normal and build a fence for it. If you're still very keen on about doing it, at least put the name of the board: "pandemic" so we can later use it for any upcoming virus that similar to corona flu, ha.
