Are the number of active cases reduced? One would assume the vast percentage does not die. But this number is not displayed in the stats.[[Special:Contributions/2600:8805:3A00:1038:3D5D:411C:1748:ABDF|2600:8805:3A00:1038:3D5D:411C:1748:ABDF]] ([[User talk:2600:8805:3A00:1038:3D5D:411C:1748:ABDF|talk]]) 23:41, 6 April 2020 (UTC) |

WikiProject COVID-19
I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Please bring your ideas to the project/talk page. Stay safe, ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:51, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
The First Sentence
This article's first sentence is a tautology. I will use ellipsis to illustrate that.
"The ... pandemic in Virginia is part of an ongoing pandemic ... in ... Virginia."
Virginia's coronavirus pandemic is part of a worldwide pandemic. 69.137.146.91 (talk) 04:13, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
I changed the wording slightly to correct this. 69.137.146.91 (talk) 04:23, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
Change to chart - math mistake
Hello, on the chart titled COVID-19 cases in Virginia, United States, there is a mistake in the case increase amount from March 23 to March 24. It says +46 when it should say +36. The percentage calculation of 14.2% is accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:1060:5B00:B401:BBF8:804B:4A12 (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- You're right. Thanks for catching that. Shearonink (talk) 15:31, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Peninsula Health District death
First time on a talk page, so be gentle. As far as I can recall, when the second death from COVID-19 occurred in Virginia, the only municipality in the district that had any cases at that time was James City County. Thusly, wouldn't it make sense that the death was from James City County, even though the district still hasn't specifically said that was the case? Just a thought, and I could be wrong. Thanks! JayKibler (talk) 12:18, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- JayKibler It was reported in reliable sources as taking place in the Peninsula Health District. I don't know why there wasn't more specificity in the VDH statements. We can extrapolate and infer and what you said makes sense but that would be original research and that's a no-no. We have to stick with what reliable sources state. If a reliable source comes up with more specificity then we can edit the statement accordingly. It does seem to me that in the early numbers most states or localities were quite vague and as non-specific as possible, perhaps out of an abundance of caution and protecting people who test positive but who are sheltering in their homes. If you find a reliable source that is more explicit as to the person's location, have at it. Shearonink (talk) 15:03, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Fairfax County Parks "closed" sign image
In a recent edit this image
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/2020-03-27_18_23_57_Sign_reading_%22In_order_to_prevent_the_spread_of_COVID-19%2C_this_facility_is_CLOSED_to_the_public_until_further_notice%22_at_Franklin_Farm_Park_in_the_Franklin_Farm_section_of_Oak_Hill%2C_Fairfax_County%2C_Virginia.jpg/220px-thumbnail.jpg)
was placed within the infobox. It seemed to me that this sign photo was overshadowing the Virginia counties map so I moved it elsewhere in the article but let's discuss etc. Shearonink (talk) 14:26, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Shearonink: I have no trouble with moving it. I just thought the infobox looked lonely without an image, and that was the one I chose. :-) For what it's worth, a lot of the other US state and territory articles on the outbreak have some sort of image in the infobox. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:38, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- Fair point. but can the image be put underneath the map? I think the map should be primary, what people see first at the top of the article, but yeah... I think the issue for me is that the sign image is so tall, it visually takes over the infobox. Is there maybe another Virginia COVID-19 image that is chunkier, that would match the width of the map? Another month of this social distancing...*sigh*. Shearonink (talk) 17:22, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Shearonink: Take your pick. I have a few more pictures on my phone as well, if none of those will do the trick. I did want to avoid the CBP images, because those are related to the federal government and not the state. Ah, well...gives us something to do while we wait for insanity to take hold. Although in my case... --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 18:50, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- Ser Amantio di Nicolao I moved the image back to the infobox but made it smaller. What do you think?... Shearonink (talk) 19:43, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Shearonink: It's not showing, for some reason... --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:44, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- I thought I had saved the change but apparently not...now it's saved. Shearonink (talk) 19:46, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Shearonink: That's good, I think. Gets the point across nicely. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:51, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Can anyone find updated death statistics? For the County/City table?
I have been unable to find the death statistics for the County/City table, other than local newspaper articles & local TV-news reports. Has anyone been able to find an updated list from a reliable source that states where the deaths have occurred? Help! and thanks - Shearonink (talk) 19:54, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Nevermind, Virginia doesn't officially report county/city death statistics, they instead report them by Health District. If the death stats are updated by editors they will have to rely on media reports from reliable sources. Shearonink (talk) 19:56, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Am puzzled by graphic/assertion from University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (HealthData.Org)...
This states non-essential services are not closed (per this edit). Is this possibly incorrect? Northam's Executive Order Fifty-Three closed certain non-essential businesses and detailed at length the businesses that were allowed to remain open, travel is severely-restricted, the stay-at-home order is in-effect, etc. Shearonink (talk) 20:11, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
