I can see the rising number of deaths and cases. The table might attract readers, but is prose enough to help readers understand the topic without the table? -- George Ho ( talk) 04:27, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
I do not think the source in Table is needed because all of the source are from the Ministry of Health and Welfare as written in the body text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.189.254.4 ( talk) 05:01, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
To Phoenix: Your logic is off for retaining Korean sources. When updating vital statistics, editors of English Wikipedia should not have to retain a source, no matter how "official" it is, if they cannot read that source (i.e... if it in Korean). In fact, it may be deceptive, if that source doesn't give that updated information. Information deserves to be updated in a timely fashion, and pages shouldn't have to wait for you or any other editor to do updating. I thank you for your attention to this matter, and for your attention to this important page, and the good work you've done. But please try to think of the English (only) speaking audience here. Thank you. 147.46.57.248 ( talk) 01:48, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
The Ministry of Health source is also in English. I suspect it is the only original and authoritative source. Aren't others using the Korean MOH as the original source? BTW, I think the numbers are off in the table. The press release for June 24 shows 179 cases, 27 deaths (cumulative). As of 13:39 UTC there is no release yet for June 25. It is now 22:39 in Korea. juanTamad 13:41, 25 June 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtamad ( talk • contribs) The 180 is from the WHO site and includes a case in China ( http://www.wpro.who.int/outbreaks_emergencies/summary.of.MERS.stats/en/). I think this is the source, not the MERS page in Korean ( http://english.mw.go.kr/front_eng/sg/ssg0111ls.jsp?PAR_MENU_ID=1001&MENU_ID=100111). juanTamad 13:47, 25 June 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtamad ( talk • contribs)
The WHO used a ring or donut graph to show cases, deaths ( http://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/sudan%20yellow%20fever.pdf). I think it's kind of a striking image, although I know data viz gurus would say use a bar chart. Works better for the recovered, dead, under treatment data, sinceit's clear that deads are not within recovereds like deads are included in cases in the other graph. Here's a draft: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/Draft_plot_for_MERS_in_South_Korea_article.png juanTamad 04:44, 29 June 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtamad ( talk • contribs)
It seems like this article is lacking information on the government's response to this outbreak. Such information could be added either under the "Effects" section or under its own heading. Is there a need for this information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlevi ( talk • contribs) 12:02, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

2015 Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak in South Korea → 2015 Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak – This is the only 2015 coronavirus outbreak, so the country is not needed. Seventyfiveyears ( talk) 13:26, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:2012 Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 18:33, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
