What review covers

Every long-form article on /learn is reviewed against three checks before publication:

1. Clinical accuracy — symptoms, transmission routes, treatment pathways match current peer-reviewed literature.
2. Risk framing — case-fatality numbers are presented with the denominator and the cohort, not as scare-quotable percentages.
3. Public-health utility — the article tells a reader what to do with the information, not just how alarmed to be.

Numerical counts on the dashboard are not reviewed clinically — those follow the editorial team's source policy.
