COVID-19 tag/pool to avoid Current Events flood

Would it be appropriate to put the tag in the Current Events pool? The possible precedent, the Tohoku earthquake, links the pool in support of Japan instead of the tag.

I have cleaned up the current events pool a bit. I left artworks that reference not just the pandemic but also events related to it (for example post #3819444, or post #3851440 which i believe is referencing the american captain who got laid off).
Did i overdo it?

Edit: Edited coronavirus pandemic wiki

I went ahead and migrated posts from coronavirus to coronavirus_pandemic and cleared up the wikis. Went with coronavirus_pandemic over covid-19_pandemic simply because it'll appear in autocomplete for taggers. This can be changed, but would highly recommend that change be done through the use of an alias so people won't repopulate the coronavirus tag with the wrong posts.

I just checked the coronavirus tag, and i think it already fits the scope? Either the tag is repurposed/renamed to coronavirus_pandemic (or covid-19_pandemic if we want to be more specific) and coronavirus is used for posts that show the virus itself (eg post #3829018, i personally prefer this method), or we can just use coronavirus for all COVID-19-related posts.

Yeah coronavirus should only be for the actual virus itself.

If it´s going to be a tag we introduce, than we should introduce a complete new tag like you suggested. Coronavirus for the virus itself and covid-19_pandemic for everything that is part of the ongoing pandemic.

I think earlier virus-related images can stay in Current Events, but after that better leave them out.

@Unbreakable: I also think a tag is the better choice for this.

2020-03-24T19:41:06-04:00

I agree with the arguments made by kittey and slime, a tag should be fine too. However it's probably better if for now the tag is called something like coronavirus pandemic or similar. It's not an event stationary in time, so we don't know how long it'll go on, and for tagging's sake given that it's a current global happening it should be shown right next to the coronavirus tag in the autocomplete (I don't think the current fuzzy autocomplete will be able to pick it up, it can't pick up the sendai earthquake tag when searching for "earthquake" for example). Or at the very least an alias would be helpful.

If at all, this serves as a perfect example why a pool should be made.

This is pretty subjective therefore, meaning it has no point being a tag.

That's... that's not what subjective means. "These images have very little in common visually" isn't the same as tagging based on personal experiences and opinions. This is, as kittey said, objectively taggable. Even if the images don't all look the same, the substance of the images makes it completely obvious that they are based on the pandemic and associated events.

It's fine if they aren't all visibly similar as long as the reference is clear. We already have precedent for this in the 2011_sendai_earthquake_and_tsunami tag.

Though I generally agree, what should we do with the current images in the Current Events pool if the pool is made?

Take them out, link to the new pool or tag from the Current Events pool description, just like pool #3097 and pool #1318 that are already there.

Just too much different stuff that can be related to Corona and I don't think a tag is a good thing to group them together.
