  • "based on court transcripts and interviews with the clinicians, scientists and the barrister involved with the outbreak". I assume the barrister wasn't involved with the outbreak, but with the subsequent court case. Can this be reworded? -- Colin°Talk 13:30, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • The paragraph on the court case is unsourced (the paragraph ends with a citation to Shooter's report, which precedes the case). Do we have a source on this portion of the text? -- Colin°Talk 13:54, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for these comments. I painted myself into a corner with regard to the role of the barrister! I have added as a source a review from The Journal of Hospital Infection. Graham Beards (talk) 14:06, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
I added another review. I see we have a reference "Pallen pp.254–259". Is that an adequate citation to the book itself? Pallen has authored other books and texts. -- Colin°Talk 14:46, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you Colin. I'll expand the Pallen citation. Graham Beards (talk) 16:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
