Russia

Why is the "first outbreak" location "Russia" instead of "China" in the article? Aminabzz (talk) 10:17, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed it, it makes no sense in this article. byteflush _Talk 02:07, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"ARVI 350702 people"

@Aminabzz and Byteflush: The words "influenza 9982 people, pneumonia 12802 people, ARVI 350702 people, asthma 1293 people and typhoid 8 people." appear on this page [1], but the problem is that the words are preceded by the sentence "According to the Ministry’s Republican Center for Statistics and Medical Information, the number and indicators of certain infectious diseases in Tajikistan in 2019 (per 100 thousand population) are as follows:"

You can't have 350,702 cases per 100,000 persons, so I don't know if the statistic is garbled or what.

Also, I don't know what ARVI is. Geographyinitiative (talk) 13:38, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Geographyinitiative: I don't know why you mentioned my name! Aminabzz (talk) 22:31, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eurasianet

Is Eurasianet a reliable source here? How should it be used appropriately? [2] Geographyinitiative (talk) 01:53, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ARVI

"Acute Respiratory Viral Infection" is a set of diseases (coronavirus, influenza, etc.) and shouldn't counted as a single disease like what we see in the article. Aminabzz (talk) 17:25, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aminabzz: How should it be written? The source provided writes it like this: "According to the Ministry’s Republican Center for Statistics and Medical Information, the number and indicators of certain infectious diseases in Tajikistan in 2019 (per 100 thousand population) are as follows:
influenza 9982 people, pneumonia 12802 people, ARVI 350702 people, asthma 1293 people and typhoid 8 people." Geographyinitiative (talk) 22:50, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Geographyinitiative I'm not saying it is wrongly written. I'm saying it is not a single disease name; but a wide range of diseases. So it was wrong to write it in the article. And fortunately, that statistics now is edited in the article. So don't worry about it. Perhaps that ambiguous number was depicting the number of all ARVI related deaths.

First reported case(s) in Tajikistan?

Firdavs Kulolov posted this link (https://www.interfax.ru/world/706187) in Template_talk:2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic_data, but the case counts here have not changed from 0 cases. Just wanted to drop by and notify the editors here. Cheers, u|RayDeeUx (contribs | talk page) 14:14, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in COVID-19 pandemic in Tajikistan

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of COVID-19 pandemic in Tajikistan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "upd-05-07":

From COVID-19 pandemic in French Guiana: "Covid Info du 7 mai 2020". ARS Guyane via Twitter. Retrieved 7 May 2020.
From COVID-19 pandemic in Mayotte: "Jeudi 7 mai : 854 cas confirmés #COVID19 à Mayotte". ARS Mayotte via Facebook (in French). Retrieved 7 May 2020.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 09:01, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
