Lede Modified[edit]

I have removed the usual sovereignty dispute nonsense from the lede, for this article it's irrelevant. Happy to discuss if this is disputed. W C M_email 09:28, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. Argentina are apparently counting the Falklands cases as part of their own national total, so the only time the Falklands dispute needs a passing mention is probably over on 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Argentina with a footnote saying something along the lines of "subtract 11 Falklands cases from the published Argentina figures for true total".

I agree. Plus, I thinks it's also irrelevant the part that explains "Argentina fought a war with Britain in 1982 over the sovereignty of the Falklands and Britain's southern Atlantic dependency of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands." (included here), and should be removed too as it is not the topic of this page. This could apply to any relation to the sovereignty dispute topic. ponchex 23:32, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as well. That March part can actually be deleted right away because it is not sourced even though finding a source shouldn't be that hard. KittenKlub (talk) 07:52, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Current number of cases[edit]

According to this public update, there have been 114 positive test results since 2020, and 5 current positive test results. Are those 5 cases included in the 114 cases, or is the total 119? Cambalachero (talk) 14:02, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
