I will definitely add a pandemic board, I think it is a good idea. Washington are continuing to fund experimental virus research.

Much worse pandemic would not be a surprise at some point. In fact if such research continues I think it is guaranteed.

<<The loss of the MI and Berkshire boards at TMF affected me a bit emotionally. Felt like I lost part of my family. No wonder, since I've been reading them since 1997.>>

I felt this amongst people and I have received emails involving statements as strong as 'I became despondent'. It really was as if a large part of some people's lives was simply torn away, and I acted reflexively.
