Talk:COVID-19 pandemic in Uttar Pradesh

Colors
Can someone change the colors on the Uttar Pradesh districts map? Amkgp (talk), Kautilya3 (talk), Mayankj429 (talk) The below color palette would probably look better. {According to each districts of Uttar Pradesh} {{legend|darkred|50+ confirmed cases}} {{legend|#E5354B|31–50 confirmed cases}} {{legend|#f19c9eff|11–30 confirmed cases}} {{legend|#ffd5d5ff|1–10 confirmed cases}} Sid54126 (talk) 20:29, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't think that any changes to the colors are required. So I'm not doing it WikiSilky (talk) 06:15, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

State Government Response section
I suggest that we can categorise state govt responses under headers like- - Containment - Sanitization - Relief - Public health services instead of a timeline for each month. This will provide a better analysis of the response to covid, and help this page have a similar structure to other state pages on covid.

What are your thoughts? Tanyasingh (talk) 10:32, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

please see the edited draft here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:UP_State_Response

Why no updates? Uttar Pradesh is close to Covid free
The 200 miljone people state have now about 20 new cases per day down from 32 000 per day. That's about 1/1000 of western countries.

Ivermectin (& others)
Without making a case for or against Ivermectin re. Covid, why do we not reflect reporting by reliable sources (insofar as that means anything nowadays) quoting Uttar Pradesh gvt officials?

I was going to add a brief para on it, but I see it's previously then removed as "quackery", e.g.by.

It's an objective fact that there was widespread, state-sponsored, use of Ivermectin there. The normal method for handling something like this is to report what the officials said they did, and why they said they did it, and then present pushback from qualified people via reliable sources. Why are we, as far as I can see, censoring? Bromley86 (talk) 20:46, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * What are your reliable sources for the "pushback". We can't air quackery without such context, and it's not "censorship", it's neutrality. Alexbrn (talk) 05:33, 14 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I've not looked for the pushback, but I imagine there'll be plenty of articles we can use to provide it, if required.
 * My point is that we're not here to "air quackery", we're here to describe what happened as reported. It's an objective fact that UP health authorities used Ivermectin in a significant way to combat Covid.  This needs to be included here and not removed just because some editors, who may well be in the majority, view its use as quackery. Bromley86 (talk) 21:47, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has a policy on neutrality. Fringe notions and pseudoscience can only be included is we can contextualize them with something sensible. Which from these "plenty of articles" actually comment on this Indian ivermectin quackery? Alexbrn (talk) 21:52, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

A review of Uttar Pradesh excess deaths
Just curious, in light of events after April '21 seemingly being absent, including some more recent analysis of undercounting, this article seems to need a revamp. Koncorde (talk) 18:01, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

The two maps of UP at upper right show a date of 2/9/2020 - Wrong!
Maybe that's when the maps were made regarding the accuracy of the provincial divisions, but clearly, per the Wikipedia article itself, 2/9/2020 is a date before any Covid was known to have arrived in Uttar Pradesh. So, the two maps showing a date of 2/9/2020 as though hundreds of cases and hundreds of deaths had already occurred by that date is misleading/wrong. Kelvinator222 (talk) 20:23, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
