This is a draft on the renewal of the Coronavirus disease 2019 video summary narration script. A discussion here suggests that a refreshment of the Coronavirus disease 2019 video summary from this one, as it may benefit those who seek a Simple English summary of the lead. Once narration and editing is done, the new video may be put on the article and the script will be changed to the final product here.

CURRENT STATUS: The draft has been seen as understandable, neat, and verifiable. It may be suited for narration, however possible mistakes or technical problems may delay it.

Current consensus restricts summary content to only summarizing the lead. The intent of the video, overall, is to summarize the lead. Unless there is a agreement on summarizing key points of the article, the summary definition will remain like it is. Current consensus also restricts overtechnical terms.

Current force(s) needed is/are: editor

Please feel free to discuss about the summary or any consensus on the talk page. Please do make edits if you can advance the script.

This draft will still be messy and contain maintenance tags. Tags will be colored.

  • Red: About a statement omitted because of a particular reason.
  • Orange: About a statement that may not be required to be put.
  • Green: A statement next to it may require modification for simplicity.
  • Purple: A statement still cannot be simplified. Please help.

Paragraph sections

Paragraphs will not be divided to sections, but combined.

  • Paragraph 1 corresponds to paragraph 1 in Coronavirus disease 2019 article.
  • Paragraph 2 combines symptoms and diagnosis.
  • Paragraph 3 is about spread.
  • Paragraph 4 is about prevention.
  • Paragraph 5 is about cure and chronology of WHO declaration.

Script

Coronavirus disease 2019, known as COVID-19, is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, which is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.[1] First found in Wuhan, Hubei, China, it has caused a global pandemic known as the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] The first confirmed patient tested positive for the virus on 17 November 2019.[4] The pandemic is still ongoing. Live numbers omitted: there's no way we can repeatedly update them.

Common symptoms for the virus include fever, cough, fatigue, and the inability to breath, smell, and taste.[5][6][7] Some, however, gets larger symptoms, like lung inflammation, multi-organ failure, full-body infection, and blood-clot. The severity of symptoms vary across cases—from mild symptoms to life-threatening ones. Symptoms can appear as early as two days to as late as 14 days.[6][8] A usual way on noticing symptoms were RT-PCR, which is taking samples from the nose.[9] Scanning the body using X-ray may help knowing the severity of one's infection, but is not advised.[10][11]

A person can get the virus by touching droplets when coming into close contact from someone coughing,[a] sneezing, or talking.[12][b] The droplets may fall directly to the ground,[13] but at times it stays in the air for a while.[14] Less commonly, people may become infected by touching a contaminated surface and then touching their face. The first three days were the virus' most contagious times, however some also do not get symptoms.

Ways to prevent the virus include washing hands, social distancing, staying home, covering coughs by blocking or using masks, and not touching face using unwashed hands.[15][16] Types of masks used by the doctors and the sick were different than those by regular people.[17][18]

A cure has not been found to treat COVID-19. The World Health Organization announced the virus outbreak an international emergency[19] on 30 January 2020 and a pandemic on 11 March.[20] Last sentence is not really needed, as it has been explicitly stated at the beginning that the pandemic is global.

Notes

  1. ^ An uncovered cough can travel up to 8.2 metres (27 feet).
  2. ^ "Close contact" is one meter (est. 3.3 feet) by the WHO and est. 1.8 meters (6 feet) by the CDC.

Consensus

  • Only list references in the script article, not the video, as the references are unclickable there.
  • Please use real-voice narration instead of prosodies to prevent any flaw.
  • The video caption should be "Simple English version of the lead. (script)."
  • Specific details included in the actual lead is not required. This is a summary.
  • Summary only summarizing lead.

If it has been renewed

If the summary has been renewed, then this page will move as a Wikipedia-prefixed article, as a consensus, supplemental, and explanatory page on the video.

On "Q&A" page

This "Q&A" page may have unneeded, unclear intention and ramification. A possibly important information about fever being 39 Fahrenheit may be merged to the symptoms paragraph, however it should be combined with the metric unit as it may cause confusion. Spanish translation may not be needed.
