Every material edit to outbreak data, editorial copy, or source citations is recorded here, dated and explained. Numbers can change; the record of why they changed should stay public.

Why this exists
Outbreak figures revise as more cases are confirmed or reclassified. WHO publishes a new Disease Outbreak News entry every few days during a PHEIC; numbers go up, occasionally down, and sometimes the classification of a case shifts from suspected to confirmed or vice versa. We log every change here so that readers (and Wikipedia editors) can audit our edits against the original sources without needing to trust the git diff alone.
