 * I do not like this virus and what is happening to all these people. 🌺Kori🌺  - ( @ ) 15:54, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * We definitely wouldn’t want a delay in press time, but some news about new editors will be pleasant when it can be put together. Jim.henderson (talk) 23:02, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks Smallbones( smalltalk ) 23:06, 29 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Feeling bad at the moment morally and cannot believe the conspiracy theories built up on the 2019 Military World Games linking it to the coronavirus pandemic. Some sources falsely claimed five of the American military personnel who participated in the event fell sick could have led to the outbreak of COVID-19. These conspiracy theories have also resulted in increase in page views. I personally feel bad and ashamed for contributing to the 2019 Military World Games which was held in Wuhan from 18 to 27 October 2019, nearly one month before the outbreak in Wuhan. Despite these few odds, Wikipedia has been the benchmark for providing accurate and reliable information regarding the coronavirus pandemic. Abishe (talk) 05:08, 30 March 2020 (UTC)


 * It's actually over 1.7 million per day, because at the beginning of the time period used for the chart, the pandemic's article was still at 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak. More like |Coronavirus|Coronavirus_disease_2019|2019–20_coronavirus_outbreak 1.85 million. Dekimasu よ! 05:34, 30 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Way to display Wikipedia's intransigent clinging to inaccuracy and on the first line of the article. You cannot have a pandemic of a loose virus grouping, only of a disease. Kevin McE (talk) 12:21, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
 * That ship sailed a long time ago. We don't get to decide what people call it, we only reflect what the sources say. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:55, 30 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Let us hope that the pandemic will prompt a re-think of large, regular international meetups of WMians—even those at a more local scale. It's high time we adopted a more inclusive use of interactive video conferencing instead of always creating a travel-holiday out of meetups. Using the internet to network is not only more inclusive: it acknowledges the existential threat of climate breakdown. Tony (talk)  02:42, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
