Article: Covid in the San Francisco Bay Area

The article covering the Covid 19 pandemic in the Bay Area is relatively well-developed and well-sourced. It addresses the outbreak from a variety of different angles - from the medical to the social and economic - and includes an abundance of reliable sources. The article for the most part is well-written and well-organized.

It does fall short, however, in a few key areas.


 * The lead section is underdeveloped compared to the length of the article and needs to be expanded.
 * The article needs updating both in terms of current statistics and policies around Covid in the Bay Area.
 * The reopening section needs to be updated in particular to include the surges that happened in June and the resulting policy changes.
 * Several of the individual sections are very short and seem imbalanced compared to other sections in the article.
 * There should be a section on the wild fires which began in August and their relationship to the pandemic.
 * The article would benefit from being more concise and organized in a more logical manner.
