Graphical timeline

[edit]

is it viable to have a graphical timeline with titles as links taking you to the appropreate dates? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.14.109 (talk • contribs) 18:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I find that this page serves as a very poor entry point into the topic of the 2002-03 SARS outbreak, which is unfortunate as there are an awful lot of pages that link here! Compare this to the pages that link to severe acute respiratory syndrome. Note also how SARS outbreak redirects here.

Personally, I arrived here from a wikilink in Censorship in China mentioning the outbreak, and found the page to be oddly in-depth and alienating. The content on the page for SARS is much closer to what I would've expected to find, even though the title of that page suggests it is more about the disease (i.e. from a medical perspective) than the events of the outbreak. As it turns out, the SARS article actually mentions the 2003 outbreak right up front, and its focus is divided more or less 50/50 between the disease and the outbreak... rather suggesting that this outbreak was our only encounter with the disease! (...was it?). Exp HP (talk) 04:02, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This article properly also belongs in the Public Health category. In fact, it's a very important topic. I will take time over the weekend to put in the appropriate links. Shandong44 (talk) 01:24, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reworking to avoid plagiarism

[edit]

I looked up this page to look for further information after reading about the epidemic in a book by Ali Khan, who worked for the CDC/WHO in Singapore. It seems the section on Feb. 2003 was copied almost entirely from the book. I have reworked the paragraphs involved and inserted the proper citation. I'll be working over the rest of the article looking for plagiarized material, and hope to make general improvements addressing the concerns raised by other editors. It's a very important topic and deserves proper treatment Shandong44 (talk) 00:36, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Excess Edits

[edit]

Why was this 15 year old article suddenly edited 75 times in the last month? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:206:8001:9C0:9C6:F3AD:DE18:C23C (talk) 19:58, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1) If you really want an answer, learn how to ask. 2) SARS is related to Covid-19. Shir-El too 21:12, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Response>>1. SARS and COVID-19 share the same strain. SARS-CoV SARS-CoV-2. See Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus. 2. Also the Chinese government covered up when it first broke out, as well. SWP13 (talk) 16:44, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How did the farmer get SARS? SWP13 (talk) 16:47, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global number of SARS deaths is inconsistent

[edit]

In the introductory paragraph it states that 774 people died. In the table, the total is 810 people. In the graph, it shows 813 people. All of these figures should be the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Threecardhighlow (talk • contribs) 02:30, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2002–2004 SARS outbreak → SARS epidemic – There has only been a single outbreak of SARS, no need for year. funplussmart (talk) 17:51, 3 December 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. —Nnadigoodluck███ 22:28, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

True but this outbreak is far more often called Corona, COV19, or COVID and is not regularly known as SARS like the previous outbreak was. I would also note that the redirect Second SARS outbreak was deleted by consensus for that same reason.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 22:14, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
