There seem to be vastly different numbers for the casualties. Compare this book which gives several different figures, and the historical marker, which gives yet another. The book seems the more reliable source; I'll change the higher figure and cite the book as a source. Huon (talk) 21:11, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help me! In Coronavirus Disease 2019 I found the following-I think it can be understood but initially it would benefit from rewriting I think.

Please use the {{help me}} template appropriately.
The {{help me}} template is for help in using Wikipedia, not for unrelated issues. If you would like to ask such a question, replace the code {{help me-inappropriate}} on this page with {{help me}} to reactivate the help request. Alternatively, you can also ask your question at the Teahouse, the help desk, or join Wikipedia's Live Help IRC channel to get real-time assistance.

Please help me with... This is what I found in Coronavirus Disease 2019 -Transmission- (paragraph)--Surfaces are easily decontaminated with household disinfectants which kill the virus outside the human body or on the hands.[6] Disinfectants or bleach are not a treatment for COVID‑19, and cause health problems when not used properly, such as when used inside the human body.[75] This would seem a contradiction around the word -'Disinfectants' please clarify.Al Oz (talk) 09:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC) Al Oz (talk) 09:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I don't see any contradiction here. What the article is saying there is that disinfectants are useful for decontamination of surfaces and skin (which means that they are good at helping to prevent the spread of COVID-19), but they don't help to treat COVID once you already have it.
