COVID-19

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
it is relevant to my virology class and is a well enough known virus that also involves political issues, so I can check for bias.

Evaluate the article
The article is written well, but it is extended confirmed so I cannot edit, but i can access the talk page. However, I can see that it has been worked on by a lot of people. The talk page is very active, and there are many editors there who seem very knowledgeable and willing to educate those who are not. The article is rated class B. The lead is concise and precise. There were one or two sources that needed to be updated, but the research was very detailed and covered every area that was appropriate for a wikipedia article. It did not cover conspiracy theories or political motivations. The article does not attempts to convince, only to inform. It does not appear to be biased, though those on either extreme political end might consider it that. Most of the sources were very academic, but there was one from national geographic, which did not seem appropriate for a medical article. the writing was well done, good English (Hong Kong English), proper grammar and easy to understand. Other than a few sources which should be updated, and perhaps a few statements for which a better source can be found, I think this article shows quite well what Wikipedia is supposed to do.
