Overall: 
This article has about 3400 characters, but is divided into four sections of text (five counting the lede). Is it possible to amalgamate one or two? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:08, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- I have now merged the shortest section (history) into the prevalence section since it talked about prevalence over time. I could probably move the Contributing factors section in there as well, but now the prevalence section is getting a little longer. It might instead be possible to merge the disease risk and severity if I can find some more sourcing about factors the affect the severity of the disease.

- Looks good to me now. Thanks! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:27, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- @TB5ivVaO1y55FkAogw1X, @Crisco 1492: Any thoughts on the "often" part of the hook? I'm just not sure about that as a descriptor for this. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:30, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Hey man im josh; I'm seeing prevalence rates of 74% and 80% cited in the article (which does count as "often" for me), but "may get" seems like a fair compromise if necessary. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:34, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
