5x expanded by John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk). Self-nominated at 02:58, 1 April 2020 (UTC).

New enough (expanded from redirect March 31), long enough (5,397 characters), well-cited throughout to reputable sources, neutral, and free from troubling close para/copyvio issues (the one source with more than seven or eight words appearing in the article is from a PD FDA source). Hook is 134 characters, definitely both timely and interesting and useful, and cited to and in ref 12. QPQ done and no image (although the sneezing one from the article is pretty expressive and could definitely be used). Good to go! —Collin^{t c} 22:59, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Good idea—I've added the photo. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 23:41, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Image is good to go and an FP to boot! —Collin^{t c} 20:53, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

The article has a few "citation needed" tags. Yoninah (talk) 16:07, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
