Talk:Study: people infected by new coronavirus 'likely' hundreds more than confirmed

Intriguing unusual event
I note, for those of us interested in writing about science on Wikinews, that the research team did something unusual: They posted their findings publicly, very publicly, before official publication. Scientists almost never do this because journals want to be the first ones to report new findings, and they want individuals and libraries and universities to buy subscriptions. The scientists in this case almost certainly published their findings because the situation is both dangerous and time-sensitive. There is precedent for their actions and they are unlikely to see censure for it. Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:31, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Dealing with nasty contagions tends to expedite things.  Our last article on Ebola  noted they were allowing the promising experimental treatments to be administered to patients while testing continued. --Pi zero (talk) 01:51, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

New development
Today, above 200 cases were reported. The virus spread to major cities in China, as people prepare for a festival, and to South Korea. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-51171035 --Don&#39;t call 911 (talk) 16:25, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you want to update this article? If so, say the word and I'll suspend review; otherwise I mean to press forward to try to get this reviewed before it loses freshness. --Pi zero (talk) 16:29, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * That'd be better. Updating would make the study look more relevant. --Don&#39;t call 911 (talk) 16:32, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've taken it out from under review. --Pi zero (talk) 16:33, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. I didn't put this time exact number to stay on safe. --Don&#39;t call 911 (talk) 17:06, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Possible categories
--Pi zero (talk) 16:26, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Imperial College London.
 * Coronavirus. Doesn't appear in our archives under that name, afaics, but SARS is caused by a coronavirus and we may (double-check this) have a number of articles on that.
 * Indeed, this virus comes from the same family as SARS, with 70% identical genetic combinations, according to WP. --Don&#39;t call 911 (talk) 16:34, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, I did Imperial College London. Unfortunately, on really close examination there weren't any articles in our archives about SARS, leaving this as our only published coronavirus article; not enough to support creating a category. --Pi zero (talk) 00:17, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
