I've replied to your Talk as IP users can only be notified of responses there. I appreciate the overture to provide an explanation. Let me explain my view on this matter, which is that my opposition at Talk fell under procedural grounds of Wikipedia policies. Wikipedia cannot advocate, elsewise my first edits would be to add a new header linking to the donation page for the Red Cross for every humanitarian disaster such as this. The point of order I've stated on the merits of retention is that Wikipedia reports what WP:Reliable Sources report. A large number of those RS cover this issue and as such they merit inclusion, simple as that.

On a off-topic note, I think you can rest assured the coverage of these incidents are unanimously cast with sympathy and opposition to the unjust and maligned incidents. Its coverage on this page has been praised by a news article that covered this Wikipedia page: "Professor Nadav Davidovitch, director of the School of Public Health at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, says he is “pleasantly surprised by the quality of the content of the [main Wikipedia] article on the coronavirus ... It also provides good social criticism – discussing how racism has helped fuel the story, like was the case with the SARS virus." I hope this clarified the matter.
