22 June 2020

- 09:0909:09, 22 June 2020 diff hist −265 COVID-19 testing I removed a sentence as it was speculative and had no reference. Tag: Visual edit
- 09:0309:03, 22 June 2020 diff hist +624 COVID-19 testing I rewrote a sentence, and added references, as it had no references. Tag: Visual edit

- 10:1210:12, 9 June 2020 diff hist 0 m COVID-19 testing I re-ordered two references to reflect the order in the text. Tag: Visual edit
- 10:0710:07, 9 June 2020 diff hist +903 COVID-19 testing I added in references to a sentence in the introduction, as it had no references and thus contravened wikipedia policies. Tag: Visual edit
- 10:0210:02, 9 June 2020 diff hist +569 COVID-19 testing i added in two references on the second sentence, as it had no references, and thus contravened wikipedia policies. Tag: Visual edit
- 09:5609:56, 9 June 2020 diff hist +502 COVID-19 testing 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
25 May 2020
- 11:1011:10, 25 May 2020 diff hist +1,076 COVID-19 pandemic 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
22 May 2020
- 13:4313:43, 22 May 2020 diff hist −256 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

- 20:5420:54, 11 May 2020 diff hist +130 m COVID-19 pandemic I fixed a broken link in a reference. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 20:4920:49, 11 May 2020 diff hist +371 COVID-19 pandemic I added a sentence to the cases section about a study showing that countries that test more widely have younger age distributions of cases. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 16:1416:14, 11 May 2020 diff hist +779 COVID-19 pandemic I added a sentence to the cases section concerning a key finding, published in the Lancet, from a cohort study in China, that children were as likely to be infected as adults. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
7 May 2020
- 08:1008:10, 7 May 2020 diff hist +477 COVID-19 testing I added an extra point, with reference, that sampling bias also accounts for variations in the age of cases across countries Tag: Visual edit: Switched
4 May 2020
- 21:1621:16, 4 May 2020 diff hist +1 m Sampling bias I corrected a small grammar mistake: "have" not "has" Tag: Visual edit
- 21:1421:14, 4 May 2020 diff hist +537 Sampling bias I added a new example of sampling bias from the COVID-19 pandemic, with reference and links to relevant wikipedia pages. Tag: Visual edit
30 April 2020
- 15:5415:54, 30 April 2020 diff hist +804 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
20 April 2020
- 12:3412:34, 20 April 2020 diff hist +2 m COVID-19 pandemic I added a line break, due to a long paragraph. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 12:2912:29, 20 April 2020 diff hist +3 m COVID-19 pandemic grammar mistake
- 12:2812:28, 20 April 2020 diff hist +808 COVID-19 pandemic I added a key point in the cases sections referencing two new studies screening pregnant women in NYC and blood donors in the Netherlands, with authoritative references. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
16 April 2020
- 07:2907:29, 16 April 2020 diff hist +22 COVID-19 pandemic For clarity, and consistency with the first half of the sentence, I added in the specific numbers that the reference on higher R0 concludes. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
15 April 2020
- 09:1009:10, 15 April 2020 diff hist +253 COVID-19 pandemic I added a further reference, from the US CDC, concerning under-reporting of Swine Flu cases. Tag: Visual edit
- 09:0309:03, 15 April 2020 diff hist +976 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
14 April 2020
- 18:0918:09, 14 April 2020 diff hist +59 COVID-19 pandemic I added in a specific number for the CFR estimate from CEBM, as this is clearly made and dated on the reference given. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 18:0018:00, 14 April 2020 diff hist +652 COVID-19 pandemic I added a sentence at the end of the death section about sampling bias may be causing some countries to over-estimate CFRs, supported by two references, and a link to the wikipedia page on sampling bias. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 17:4917:49, 14 April 2020 diff hist +467 COVID-19 pandemic I added an additional reference where requested, and updated the sentence concerned slightly so that it matches both the references provided. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
13 April 2020
- 08:2908:29, 13 April 2020 diff hist +5 m COVID-19 pandemic I fixed a grammar mistake - missing "with". Tag: Visual edit: Switched
12 April 2020
- 18:1018:10, 12 April 2020 diff hist +175 COVID-19 pandemic I added in a key finding from the random testing in Germany that 15% of people were infected by April 10, with reference. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 13:1213:12, 12 April 2020 diff hist +446 COVID-19 pandemic 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.
- 13:0413:04, 12 April 2020 diff hist +446 COVID-19 pandemic 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.

- 20:0520:05, 11 April 2020 diff hist +2 COVID-19 pandemic 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
- 17:2617:26, 11 April 2020 diff hist +6 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
- 13:0413:04, 11 April 2020 diff hist −5 m COVID-19 testing I re-worded a sentence to avoid repeating the same word - "likely" - twice. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 12:3012:30, 11 April 2020 diff hist +26 COVID-19 testing 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
