This article's first sentence is a tautology. I will use ellipsis to illustrate that.
"The ... pandemic in Virginia is part of an ongoing pandemic ... in ... Virginia."
Virginia's coronavirus pandemic is part of a worldwide pandemic. 69.137.146.91 (talk) 04:13, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
I changed the wording slightly to correct this. 69.137.146.91 (talk) 04:23, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello, on the chart titled COVID-19 cases in Virginia, United States, there is a mistake in the case increase amount from March 23 to March 24. It says +46 when it should say +36. The percentage calculation of 14.2% is accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:1060:5B00:B401:BBF8:804B:4A12 (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
First time on a talk page, so be gentle. As far as I can recall, when the second death from COVID-19 occurred in Virginia, the only municipality in the district that had any cases at that time was James City County. Thusly, wouldn't it make sense that the death was from James City County, even though the district still hasn't specifically said that was the case? Just a thought, and I could be wrong. Thanks!

In a recent edit this image
was placed within the infobox. It seemed to me that this sign photo was overshadowing the Virginia counties map so I moved it elsewhere in the article but let's discuss etc. Shearonink (talk) 14:26, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
I have been unable to find the death statistics for the County/City table, other than local newspaper articles & local TV-news reports. Has anyone been able to find an updated list from a reliable source that states where the deaths have occurred? Help! and thanks - Shearonink (talk) 19:54, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
This states non-essential services are not closed (per this edit). Is this possibly incorrect? Northam's Executive Order Fifty-Three closed certain non-essential businesses and detailed at length the businesses that were allowed to remain open, travel is severely-restricted, the stay-at-home order is in-effect, etc. Shearonink (talk) 20:11, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Are the number of active cases reduced? One would assume the vast percentage do not die. But this number is not displayed in the stats.2600:8805:3A00:1038:3D5D:411C:1748:ABDF (talk) 23:41, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
This ref 1 reports that 42 of the 154 cases are at one facility, more than 25%.--Billymac00 (talk) 15:49, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Populations were added for the counties here and here but no refs were given. At all. I have asked the editor who added those figures to provide references/sources. Keeping in mind WP:verifiability and reliable sources, referencing from reliable sources must be provided, otherwise, those population figures and percentages should be removed from the article. Shearonink (talk) 22:32, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
@CAWylie, Corker1, and Leviavery: Since the VDH is now regularly reporting deaths for each county, I think the table for health districts is redundant and can be removed from the article. Thoughts? Jayab314 13:16, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
I hid the table until a decision is made. Jayab314 14:05, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
The colorized map of Virginia shows two counties with zero cases. The table a bit farther down shows 3 counties with zero cases. I believe this is a mistake in one or the other because they are inconsistent. 1-Jul-2020
Since I removed the outdated statistics table a few days ago, I figured I should provide better data too. Here's a chart. Cases and deaths derive from [1], 2019 population derives from [2] (the Virginia link under "Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for Counties: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2019"), and percentages are calculated from the other data.

Hello, I've added info on K-12 education, mainly as it relates to operational status of public schools. I'd welcome additional info and/or suggestions on either public or private education throughout the state. Thanks! Caracol1313 (talk) 16:13, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
I added some information on the COVID-19 impact on prisons. There's a table on the VA ACLU website that includes weekly data on release decisions, COVID case numbers, etc, at individual correctional facilities, but I've yet to figure out how best to upload it. If you know how to do deep linking or have other ideas about how best to use this, I'd be interested in learning more. Thanks all! Caracol1313 (talk) 17:31, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
