Coronavirus
Whether you call it Coronavirus of COVID-19, the illness that our media and news outlets can't stop reminding us of every thirty seconds has become a worldwide phenomenon of fear and anxiety. It plagues just about all of our daily lives.
As such, I'm putting out a request/announcement that discussion of the disease is to cease on Discord.
If you have something very personal and emotional that you would like to discuss with your friends here on Aeipathy in relation to the coronavirus then yes, feel free to use the #green-room. If such a thing is actually stopping you from posting, then please used the #absence-reports channel. BUT, all other chatter - updates from the media and news, memes and images... please can they all stop.
I understand that it's the big 'thing' at the moment and that we're constantly informed every second of what is happening with it, so its natural that that is where our conversations have gone. This isn't a telling-off or an issue. But, we have a lot of members who come to Aeipathy and to the discord server to escape the stresses and anxieties of their real life, one of which at the moment is the constant talk of this disease. I would like us all to please accommodate this desire by making Aeipathy - as much as is possible - a coronavirus free zone.
We're not a community who gripes, groans or moans. So, let's focus on the positives of life, the stuff that isn't stressful and make sure that Discord remains a fun, engaging and disease free place. Mom's the word on COVID-19.
