The relationship between community stigma towards Covid-19 patients
[edit]COVID-19 survivors are a vulnerable group at high risk when returning to their communities. Therefore, creating a safe environment and providing respectful care, including addressing complex stigma factors, is vital for developing appropriate interventions.[https://scholar.unair.ac.id/en/publications/does-digital-financial-inclusion-forecast-sustainable-economic-gr FIn4nwatin (talk) 07:40, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- While I generally agree with the majority of this you would need some research to back up your claims. The link you provided does not. CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath (talk) 17:52, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I suggest removing the label of "wet market" in this sentence
According to articles published in July 2022 in Science, virus transmission into humans occurred through two spillover events in November 2019 and was likely due to live wildlife trade on the Huanan wet market in the city of Wuhan (Hubei, China).[412][413][414]
Wet market is a generic word that describes any market that sells perishable goods that was used as a bureaucratic term in Singapore. It has never been used in China, it only became commonly known/used when some journalists latched onto the term during covid because frankly, the phrase carries a lot of negative connotations with it.
Importantly, the sentence implies heavily that is the name of the market, as it is "the Huanan wet market" instead what it's name actually is Wuhan Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market or 武汉华南海鲜批发市场 in the native language.
If you're going to label that market as a wet market, then all links to Costco or Whole Foods should also be with "wet market" labels. Morleyx42 (talk) 22:46, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not done*your logic...If you're going to label that market as a wet market, then all links to Costco or Whole Foods should also be with "wet market" labels, does not seem correct, IMO--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 23:35, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- What wikipedia rule/guideline does "this doesn't seem correct" fall under?
- Because it seems correct to me, and Wikipedia is big on accuracy. Besides, aside from the whole question of whether or not "wet market" is an appropriate label, "Wuhan Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market" is more precise and accurate.
- So I'd like this to be re-opened or whatever it's called. 173.222.1.147 (talk) 04:11, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia uses established terminology as used by the best sources, not peculiar quirky wording cooked up by an editor. Bon courage (talk) 05:35, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- How about we be a little more WP:CIVIL and look at the Wikipedia article Wet market and also Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market and decide what would fit in the sentence better? While the lead in the article for Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market does not mention "Wet market" it is referred to as a wet market in the body. The citation for the sentence in question does use the phrase "Huanan wet market", but also specifically refers to "Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market" and that seems more precise to me.

nasal vaccinations
[edit]can someone add something about the various efforts toward nasal vaccinations (such as in use in all of India!) somewhere?

- Not done Would belong at COVID-19 vaccine, if WP:MEDRS can be found. Bon courage (talk) 05:36, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
a wiki link for "ventilation" in the prevention section
[edit]could be Air_purifier#COVID-19 for example. 173.222.1.147 (talk) 04:17, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
An article on Covid 19 by AI (Google's Gemini AI)
[edit]COVID-19 COVID-19 is the common name for the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. This respiratory illness first appeared in Wuhan, China, in late 2019 and quickly spread globally, leading to a worldwide pandemic.
Symptoms
COVID-19 symptoms typically appear 2-14 days after exposure and can include:
Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
Loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
In severe cases, COVID-19 can lead to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and death.
Transmission
The virus primarily spreads from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also spread through contact with contaminated surfaces.
Prevention
To protect yourself and others from COVID-19, follow these preventive measures:
Get vaccinated: Vaccines are highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
Wear a mask: Masks help reduce the spread of the virus.
Maintain social distancing: Keep a safe distance from others.
Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use hand sanitizer.
Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Treatment
Treatment for COVID-19 focuses on managing symptoms and supporting the body's ability to fight off the infection. While there's no specific antiviral treatment for COVID-19, some medications may be used to treat complications.
Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on global health, economies, and societies. It has led to widespread lockdowns, travel restrictions, and disruptions to education, healthcare, and businesses.
Note: This is a brief overview of COVID-19. For the most up-to-date information and detailed explanations, please refer to reliable health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
