Dr Li Wenliang, who was hailed a hero for raising the alarm about the coronavirus in the early days of the outbreak, has died of the infection.

His death was confirmed by the Wuhan hospital where he worked and was being treated, following conflicting reports about his condition on state media.

Dr Li, 34, tried to send a message to fellow medics about the outbreak at the end of December. Three days later police paid him a visit and told him to stop. He returned to work and caught the virus from a patient. He had been in hospital for at least three weeks.

He posted his story from his hospital bed last month on social media site Weibo.

"Hello everyone, this is Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital," the post begins.

It was a stunning insight into the botched response by local authorities in Wuhan in the early weeks of the coronavirus outbreak.

Really? You fixed it? Why is it taking almost a week; if not longer for testing results to come in thus proving them useless in the campaign to control the virus?

Maybe because we are doing more than any other country every day!!

Americans continue to die and the POS is upset that Fauci has better ratings than him.

 

And the Trump cultists continue to love him. What a putrid state of affairs.

It's not a good look complaining about your numbers in the middle of a pandemic.  I don't know if he grasps that concept.  Stick to the script Trump.

What do you expect?  It's Trump, he's all about the grievances.   His narcissism and ego are both his political strengths and weaknesses.

WHY ARE THE PRESS AND THE TECH OLIGARCHS SO AFRAID OF A STRONG BLACK WOMAN?

I mean, it can’t be that she’s a nut, when they make Al Sharpton and Shaun King authorities on race relations,

and Anita Sarkeesian an expert on gender relations.

True but I always felt that he had more self discipline than people give him credit for.  The best example I can think of is where he never mentioned Mueller on twitter until well into his investigation.  I guess not though and it's a shame because the federal response has been pretty good but the messaging has been terrible.

Most developed nations have flattened the curve... The US?  Nope - infection rates out of control.

 

Thanks TRUMP voters.

 

The fact that Americans have a history of doing what the want due to you know that important thing call freedom of choice is Trump voters' fault?  ***** yeah!!!  Thanks for the support!

Maybe - just maybe if Trump took this a tad bit more seriously; you know - didn't deny - delay - distort - confuse - you know, F everything up - and let the true experts run this - this country would likely be open like the rest of the developed world.

 

If Trump were CEO of a PUBLIC company - his a$$ would be fired already.

 

Keep making the excuses - mediocrity looks lovely on you.

At least we know who the authoritarians are on this board that support silencing debate that they disagree with.

 

 

 

Who's silencing debate? Seems like everyone is getting their say. 

 

My critique is that my president cited a witch doctor as a source of good medical advice, and that his tweeting something like that shows a lack of mental and leadership discipline.

 

If I cited a witch doctor, I assume you'd critique the source, as well you should. Jesus, you can't even cite Dr. Fauci here without people attacking him as a bad source. 

 

He's the president. Perhaps a measured and thoughtful approach to a pandemic is in order, no?

You place too little emphasis on Americans will do what we want. We've always done what we want.  It's the nature of our country.  Freedom.  

 

It's not an excuse.  It's reality. 

 

And here's the real funny part.  Like any of you TDSers would have done ANYTHING Trump told you to.  You would have gone nutso if he had told us to do any of the things you're suggesting he should have done.   Accusations of "Hitler" "Dictator" "Fascist" would have been loud.  Admit it.

True. Me and all my liberal friends stopped wearing masks after Trump told us to wear one.

Meanwhile, the most incompetent and corrupt administration in our lifetime is sending out campaign-style opposition research to reporters to discredit Fauci...
