The article 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic In Europe seems to have plenty of useful data. This article having the data from it that pertains to the EU would be an improvement. 68.96.208.77 ( talk) 19:27, 14 April 2020 (UTC) Constructive Feedback reply

Oddly it's been scrubbed on the same day that the BBC runs a story about the US death toll exceeding 41,000. Wouldn't it be useful to see how the EU is doing in comparison? 122.56.196.182 ( talk)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2020 coronavirus pandemic in the European Union's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 07:47, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply

The chart showing COVID-19 cases in Europe is misleading because it implies a greater number of cases in the EU than exist as the data includes countries not in the EU such as Russia and Turkey. 68.96.208.77 ( talk) 15:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC) Constructive Feedback reply

Just checked, and you're quite right. I've removed the chart. Capewearer ( talk) 15:35, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Thanks! 68.96.208.77 ( talk) 20:37, 15 April 2020 (UTC) Constructive Feedback reply

Removing is easy, but it is not a "One fits all" solution. Appropriate information should be given.

For instance giving the number of EU cases and EU fatalities and comparing it to the ones of Europe, to explicit the difference.

20 May 2020, source ECDC

zone	cases by country definition	deaths	cases by country definition per deaths	cases %	deaths %
the EU	1 065 223	122 549	8.69
EU/EEA +UK	1 324 183	158 134	8.37
Europe	1 740 551	164 349	10.59
Difference Europe-EU	675328	41800		63.4	34.1
Difference Europe-EU/EEA+UK	416368	6215	66.99	31.4	3.9
Difference EU/EEA+UK-EU	258960	35585	7.28	24.3	29

Right now, the article seems to be mostly about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on European Union institutions. Therefore, I'm proposing a rescoping and move to Impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic on the European Union, in line with similar articles. I would argue that the current article scope is duplicative of 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Europe, but an article on the policial and institutional impacts of the pandemic is certainly reasonable and meets WP:GNG. b uidh e 23:14, 17 April 2020 (UTC) reply

This would make a longer title! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.136.155.241 ( talk • contribs)

Why have you scrubbed the number of EU cases and EU deaths? What's your agenda? 115.189.95.17 ( talk)

Article is not exactly duplicative because ECDC statistics were removed for both:

• Removed from the Europe article, because they deal with the EU rather than with Europe
• Removed from the EU article, because they deal with Europe rather than the EU — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.136.155.159 ( talk) 09:24, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Another change which shows the scope clarification is needed: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=European_Union_response_to_the_COVID-19_pandemic&diff=967639005&oldid=967636041 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.136.155.117 ( talk) 19:11, 17 July 2020 (UTC) reply

‎Is ‎Change in consumption and external trade WP:OR? If so, why?

For example, can one get vaccinated with a Finnish passport in other EU countries, without the vaccinator checking does one actually live in that other country?
