Ask HN: Moratorium on pandemic posts?
I can't be the only one who's hiding all the stories about the pandemic, right? I think at this point we all understand that it's a terrible situation, we should all wash our hands, and working from home has its pros and cons. There's about five new "here's something i threw together in JS that grabs some covid data from some gov't data feed" links every day, and there are multiple threads daily on the topic of "how can we, as hackers, help?" (or a variation thereof). And that's not to speak of the tedious click-baity junk of non-primary news sites just parroting whatever news just came out of $govagency$ Yay/Nay? 7 comments on Hacker News.
