Is a "pandemic" and "epidemic" category going to be added to Answermug anytime soon?

I doubt it. Those questions should go under
Health and Wellness. 

I hope not.

 

  Don’t hold your breath.

  I haven’t noticed ANY new categories being added for many years here, regardless of how topical they are to what’s happening in the world at the time, nor when someone‘s request or suggestion for them has been presented to management. I myself stopped making category requests and suggestions to management over four years ago when not one of mine even generated a response.

It they did, then I feel confident it would "go viral", but the word "pandemic" in reality means the same as the previous and now unfashionable word: "plague"!

If such a category is to be added, then let's be honest about what word to use.
