We should divide the history sections into subsections such as reservoir, intermediate host, zoonotic event, animal source, and index case, in order to expand the article. All the aforementioned are currently packed into a single paragraph.

No response, and the section still needs work. It is currently giving too much weight (3 or 4 paragraphs) to narrating in detail work from the early years that tried to account for the characteristics of the virus. This can be trimmed a lot, and use the saved space to more concisely add info on the know facts regarding intermediate hosts, zoonotic event, animal source, index case, and early spread.

in the Vaccines section, I removed everything and replaced it with a statement from the WHO.
this is because the references that were previously there were outdated, or designed for
COVID-19 (
SARS-CoV-2), which is not SARS-CoV-1.
