If I may interject a voice of experience...
A single extended thread helps keep the "Oh my gosh, I had no idea, can you explain how this started ..." crowd posts down to a minimum.
I think new information should continue to be posted both on a single main thread, like this, and separately as new threads, for people who might not see it otherwise.
For people who have followed this outbreak from the beginning, a single combined thread is easier to track new and more accurate information with less extraneous comments.

That sounds like a good approach to me. Minor updates don't need new threads, but something significant should be posted as a response here and as a new thread.

That might cause readers of this thread only to miss some valuable responses on the other thread, but only if they're not paying attention.

Is the way I did it tonight, with genefromjersey's vanity thread, the way you're thinking of it?
