Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. It's a bit rambling with too many minor details, but ok for DYK purposes. Hook is interesting and verified. There are some minor close paraphrasing issues, see Earwig. QPQ not yet done. -Zanhe (talk) 18:59, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you @Zanhe:... Earlier, information appears to have been reported in secondary sources via Chinese frontline researchers whose posts were translated on certain infectious disease forums, before official statements. I'll trim it further. I'll check through the earwig. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:44, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Whispyhistory: The article has been nominated at WP:ITN, and it seems likely that it'll be posted for blurb or ongoing. If that happens this will no longer qualify for DYK (but I've added you as the updater so you'll receive ITN credit if posted). -Zanhe (talk) 07:01, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
