Virology

I don't think much of the content under "Virology" is relevant for an article about the disease caused by the virus. "Types of virus" is fine (it provides context for the cause of the disease) but everything else seems better suited for articles on the actual viruses themselves. These subsections are also extremely technical so even if they are relevant to this article they should be rewritten for clarity. C. A. Struck (talk) 21:47, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Etymology section

I noticed the etymology section is unusually placed near the end of the article instead of as usual in any article immediately after the lead. Sincerely, --Thinker78 (talk) 21:02, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
