Phrasing of the lead sentence

I'm not convinced that this diff is an improvement, I invite editors to attempt improving the phrasing in the lead. SmolBrane (talk) 21:53, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At least it improved the roaring POV problem, the grammar, and the confusion between a disease and a virus. Alexbrn (talk) 04:12, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

India

Someone please add this. Kailash29792 (talk) 18:23, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fundamental problem

This article doesn't really tell us much about the endemic "phase" of this outbreak; it is mostly an assemblage of ignorant things politicians have happened to say at one time or another. A re-think is needed. Bon courage (talk) 06:11, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a suggestion in the context of the WP:PILLARS or WP:COPO? I don't understand the praxis of your statement... any edits in mind? SmolBrane (talk) 23:03, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because this is an epidemiological subject, it needs to be based on MEDRS sources. As it is, it doesn't convey much "accepted knowledge" about what the "endemic phase" is (other than a politician soundbite). Bon courage (talk) 06:19, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article is also included in the "political responses" and "national responses" categories, as well as the medical responses category. Deferring to MEDRS would be a POV issue. If politicians allegedly misuse the word 'endemic' it needs to have sourced commentary to suggest such, we cannot make that presumption. Very few additions to this article have been reverted.

Tedros is not a politician according to his wiki bio and his words were pretty clear("[we've] never been in a better position to end the pandemic/we can see the finish line"). I think more academic and medical commentary would be beneficial but there currently isn't much of it--it's not surprising that rigorous MEDRS sources are lagging; it takes a while to do the science and it's likely to be backward-looking.

The head of the WHO's view is WP:DUE, it's true. Bon courage (talk) 16:31, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
