New forum and daily updates to collaborate around covid-19 related issues
A new ProZ.com forum was created to allow for discussion and collaboration around issues related to the covid-19 pandemic. The topics there so far range from the serious and practical (business considerations, sharing of glossaries) to the more lighthearted (you may enjoy the "Corona quarantine diary" from long-time member Mervyn Henderson).
Daily updates are also being posted to the forum, with information and resources for freelancers, by Andrew Morris.
Check out the forum at https://www.proz.com/forum/2066
