Coronavirus whistle-blower doctor Li Wenliang dies from the disease

Li Wenliang, the doctor who tried to blow the whistle about the coronavirus outbreak, died on February 6. His hospital confirmed his death after conflicting reports on his condition. Li had tried to warn fellow medics about the new virus in late December but was silenced and detained by local Wuhan authorities who accused him of “spreading rumours”. He contracted the infection from a patient after returning to work.
