I added back in key detail to the introductory section concerning the impact of varying testing protocols on countries' statistics, supported by three references, and links to relevant wikipedia pages on key topics.Tag: Visual edit

I added a sentence in the deaths section, that reported deaths are also influenced by how quickly governments enacted policies to contain the pandemic, supported by three references.Tag: Visual edit

Mortality due to COVID-19
I removed a sentence as it had no reference, and thus violates Wikipedia policies. If references exist to support the sentence, they should be added, if not the sentence should not appear.Tag: Visual edit

COVID-19 pandemic
I added an important sentence about a scoping review and meta analysis of 61 case studies, covering 59,000 infected people, that found a very similar fatality rate to the 0.37% IFR estimate, with reference.Tag: Visual edit: Switched

COVID-19 pandemic
I have added a very important sentence at the end of the deaths section to balance a reference to Swine Flu made earlier in this section. It is true that (as currently stated) there was some under-reporting of deaths in Swine Flu, but the under-reporting of cases was much more, and as a result, the IFR was much lower than the lowest initial estimate. This is supported by two references, and thus is more supported than the existing statement, which in isolation is very misleading.Tag: Visual edit: Switched

I added in a key sentence about less cases in young people, and whether this is about them being less infected, or being tested less., with supporting reference.

The WHO reference provided on the initial r0 estimate clearly states that the WHO presented a "preliminary R0 estimate of 1.4-2.5". So I have changed the numbers in the sentence back to match the reference. If another study was being referred to with the previous numbers (2.2 and 2.7) this needs to be referenced.Tag: Visual edit: Switched

COVID-19 pandemic
I updated a sentence, and references, removing mention of South Korea, as the reference given contradicted what was written. The reference showed 7% of cases in South Korea were in those under 20, which is significantly more than the % over 80 (5%). I also changed the reference on China to one which more clearly supports the sentence.Tag: Visual edit: Switched

I improved an existing sentence, so it more closely matches the references given, which state not just some but many countries have over-estimated CFRs, and that this is due to sampling bias. I also added in the wikipedia link on sampling bias.Tag: Visual edit: Switched
