Editorial Standards

AndesVirus.ai follows evidence-first editorial controls designed for high-sensitivity outbreak communication and medical information safety.

What Readers Can Expect

Each health-information page is written to answer a specific reader need without creating personal medical advice. Pages should identify what is known, what is still uncertain, which source is driving the current wording, and when a reader should stop reading a website and contact qualified medical care.

We avoid sensational outbreak language, unsupported mortality claims, invented treatment guidance, and copy that could make advertising or automated summaries look like official public-health instructions. When a page references a current event, the publication date and source context are part of the claim.

Core Policies

  • Every health claim must map to a primary source or clearly cited secondary source.
  • Evidence confidence is stated explicitly when source quality is mixed or evolving.
  • Speculation is prohibited for outbreak counts, transmission, and mortality framing.
  • Corrections are prioritized within 24 hours of official-source revision.
  • Draft text is reviewed before publication and cannot bypass validation checks.

Review Cadence

  • Last reviewed: 2026-05-20
  • Primary references: WHO, CDC, ECDC, PAHO, AP/Reuters context reporting, and peer-reviewed literature.

Corrections and Updates

Corrections are prioritized when an official source changes case classification, risk language, transmission context, exposure guidance, or prevention instructions. Minor copy edits can be made without changing the factual baseline, but substantive health-information updates should be reflected in the page text, metadata, and related timeline or source-ledger pages when relevant.
