Chinese doCtor, who first warned about Corona
dr. C alias Li wenliang (34) had emerged like a hero in China after Corona’s
havoc surfaced. he first identified the coronavirus virus and its serious
dangers. Many people were also saved from getting infected. there have
been questions on the death of this Chinese doctor Li wenliang, bringing
the coronavirus virus to the world. his death was reported by China’s state
media and then by the world health organization (who).
Questions have arisen as to whether Li wenliang has been the victim of
any conspiracy or whether the same virus has taken his life, for which he
made the world aware of the dangers. China’s official newspaper Global
times said that doctor wenliang died of the coronavirus virus. he was
hospitalized on January 12 after being hit by the coronavirus virus because
he came in contact with a patient. when the discussion of hiding the corona-
virus virus news in wuhan city of China intensified, doctor wenliang posted
a video from the hospital to warn people about the coronavirus virus. it is
said that wenliang was questioned by China’s health department. wenliang
of the wuhan police was revealed to have issued a notice with the charge of
spreading rumors.
wenliang sent a message to his fellow doctors in a chat group of fellow
doctors on december 30, 2019 and told about the danger of coronavirus
virus. not only this, Li wenliang had warned his fellow doctors to wear
special clothes to avoid this virus. nliang had said that it has been clear in
the test that this virus which killed people is of Coronavirus group. there
is also the severe acute respiratory syndrome ie sars virus of the same
group, due to which in 2003, 800 people died in China and all over the
world. wenliang told his friends to personally ask their family members to be
vigilant about it. his message went viral shortly.
it is said that wenliang first alerted the Chinese government to the virus,
but the Chinese government did not take the doctor’s warning seriously
