Situation report

Inventory of equipment is important to assess needs, anticipate actions to lead, build public pressure for drastic actions, and later on held public officials accountable if necessary.

The flow of equipment and shortages related news is important and steady. I (Yug) review and integrate nearly all resources produced by the The New York Times & The Guardian. Many other high quality sources and POV have also been identified in WikiProject_COVID-19/Sources#News.

Where to start ?
  • Join in. By adding your name to the participants listing :D
  • Integrating identified sources. A list of sources to integrate have been gathered in Talk:2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic_related_shortages#Sources. I integrated twice as many but we need more editors to keep the work proper.
  • Increase interlinking. Our articles are poorly cited by other COVID19 articles, limiting visibility. When reading other COVID19 article, please keep an eye open and add links to our equipment articles.
  • Improve this Task Force page's design ; )

  • Yug (talk) 10:50, 27 March 2020 (UTC) -- I'am nearly alone on hospital beds and shortages[reply]
  • Daniele Pugliesi - I can help on pages related to Personal protective equipment and related standards (ISO, EN, UNI) and regulations (European Directives)
  • MartinezMD - I'll help where I can. Ping me if there is something in particular that needs help as I'm not very creative.
