Coronavirus Whistleblower doctor, Li Wenliang has died of the deadly virus, February 7th, 2020, according to the hospital treating him.
Wenliang issued warning to fellow medics on 30 December about the outbreak of deadly Wuhan virus but police told him to stop “making false comments”.
Coronavirus has killed 636 people and infected 31,161 in mainland China, according to the National Health Commission’s most recent figure.
Saddened by the death of Dr. Li. But why was his early warning about #Coronavirus ignored&seen as a rumor?…Chinese government decided to take investigations. It reflects the role of the public oversight in China & courage of government to self-examine&live up to responsibility.
