Chinese doctor who warned of outbreak dies from coronavirus infection

"The whole country has responded with all its strength to respond with the most thorough and strict prevention and control measures, starting a people's war for epidemic prevention and control," Xinhua news agency quoted him as saying in a telephone call with Saudi Arabia's King Salman.

Health officials in the United States and China want to get a vaccine to initial human testing within months, but drugmakers have cautioned they have a long way to go. "There are no known effective therapeutics," WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said, when asked about reports of"breakthroughs" that boosted markets on Wednesday .

China's National Health Commission said the HIV drug lopinavir/ritonavir could be used for coronavirus patients, without specifying how. That triggered a rush for the HIV drug.

Sry to hear that

So sad and tragic

Tragic

Poor soul. His government killing their own citizens

We don’t know that .

R.I.P, Dr. LiWenliang

🙏

nicolasnicola22 Terrible sad news. My brother law sent this on Wechat. He is in northern province not as bad.. I seems the authorities will give as much information as possible but the scale of this in areas where far more people are infected maybe giving the impression of misinformation..?

'There are no known effective therapeutics,'WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said. ABC doesn't say it's the same virus family as a common cold&that's about all vast majority will get. Wheely amputee in recovery. If stats even remotely were threat I'd say.

RIP🙏🙏🙏

That is dreadful news.

Are we sure?
