General info

Feedback (also found in draft talk page):

Hi K8-25, I reviewed your article draft for ENPH 450. It looks like you have a good start. The lead section is concise; it is a good summary, it is not too wordy or vague. The epidemiology section doesn't have any citations added, but I saw that you had them listed so you'll probably do that later. The sources were legitimate and appropriate for a Wikipedia article, so that's good. The only thing that I would probably suggest adding are statistics to the epidemiology section. For example, you mention a financial, social, and economic burden, can you quantify this? Is there data out there on the number of people who have died because of this outbreak?
