Chronology and Events
This will be a bit talkative. I have looked over the beginning of the article and on impulse began to rephrase some of the paragraphs, probably as much for getting a grip on what had been going on - it's been years since I have followed the media. But I like texts, and that is my angle on the article. Concretely, what has me puzzled, is the section structure. I can vaguely understand different sorts of phenomena - the pandemic , talking about the pandemic (news reports), scientific engagements in the pandemic (those peer-revieved academic articles), government policies related to the pandemic, actual 'reallife' events that relates to the pandemic, however also actual 'reallife' reactions to talking about or to scientific engagements in or to government policies related to the pandemic. I think all these things have found their way into the article, and perhaps rightly so. But where does that leave the reader? (My usual interest is medieval and ancient history)
Maybe I'm just too impatient, and the article will over time settle to something else. But I turn to suggest an alternative section arrangement,
- The pandemic: Virus characteristics and clinical measures
- The pandemic: Politic & scientific activities, social reaction and media
I hope to read some inspiring comments! The thing is, what I had in mind with rephrasing paragraphs, got me stuck with quite a lot of rearranging. This discussion is not about a forecomming edit. My plan is to ..get through at least some of the Chinese language sources, like the article from Caixin of 26 February.. and that might take awhile. Good luck with the writing out there.

- I noticed the pageviews went thru the roof the day the AP story broke about the earlier French case. See here. The aim of a timeline is highly functional. It is a reader's shortcut to nailing down metadata and we should attempt to facilitate the reader. In short, its a table, a graph. The reader should be able to answer a quick query in regard to time. This redo is a solution in search of a problem. The reorganization muddles the purpose of the timeline. The subject does not matter. The date the action occurred is what our reader is seeking. Context is available elsewhere in more specialized Wikipedia articles or the sources that the timeline cites. Please help the reader. They will make their own conclusions.

This should be added: China's National Health Commission (NHC), the nation's top health authority, ordered institutions not to publish any information related to the unknown disease, and ordered labs to transfer any samples they had to designated testing institutions, or to destroy them. The order did not specify any designated testing institutions.[1]

Then on Jan 3, China's National Health Commission (NHC), the nation's top health authority, ordered institutions not to publish any information related to the unknown disease, and ordered labs to transfer any samples they had to designated testing institutions, or to destroy them. The order, which Caixin has seen, did not specify any designated testing institutions.

In the 5 January section, please add at least a sentence about WHO's Disease Outbreak News describing the Wuhan cluster to the global media for the first time. WHO's own timeline highlights the publication as follows: "WHO issued its first Disease Outbreak News report. This is a public, web-based platform for the publication of technical information addressed to the scientific and public health communities, as well as global media. The report contained information about the number of cases and their clinical status; details about the Wuhan national authority's response measures; and WHO's risk assessment and advice on public health measures. It advised that 'WHO's recommendations on public health measures and surveillance of influenza and severe acute respiratory infections still apply.' "
For WP:PROPORTION with the rest of our Wikipedia timeline, we should probably just insert a brief summary sentence & reference like the following, at the end of the 5 January section:
- Disease Outbreak News was WHO's first international media report summarizing details of the Wuhan outbreak.[1]
