BREAKING: A Chinese doctor who sounded an early warning about the new coronavirus outbreak has died of the illness, hospital says.

In this Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2020, photo, medical staff prepare beds at a temporary hospital which transformed from an exhibition center for accepting patients who diagnosed with the coronaviruses in Wuhan in central China's Hubei province.

The World Health Organization tweeted: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Li Wenliang. We all need to celebrate work that he did” on the virus. China’s National Health Commission said the number of infected patients who were “discharged and cured” stood at 1,153. No details were given, but milder cases have been seen in younger, healthier people.

Zeng said other infected mothers have given birth to babies who tested negative, so it is not yet known if the virus can be transmitted in the womb. That “needs further study,” he said. Authorities are racing to increase the number of beds in Wuhan and the rest of hard-hit Hubei province, where the health care system has been so overwhelmed that some sick people have been turned away from hospitals and sent home, raising the risk of their spreading the virus to others.

Ten passengers confirmed to have the virus were escorted off the Diamond Princess at the port of Yokohama near Tokyo, after 10 others were taken off the previous day. Those taken to hospitals Thursday were mostly in their 60s and 70s, four of them Japanese, two Americans, two Canadians, one New Zealander and one Taiwanese.“It’s going to be like a floating prison,” passenger David Abel lamented on Facebook.

The Communist Chinese govt is spreading a rumor that this sixth strain of the Coronavirus was indeed created in a lab, but it was an American lab..... Lying bastards.

Chinese government made the following speach about UIGHUR turks: Your relatives had been infected by the Islamic radicalism and must be quarantined and cured. Now the chinese must be quarantined and cured as they are infected by the VIRUS and not be allowed to travel aboard.

KTLA

RaymondArroyo So they say.

Two doctors already?

_Images So very sorry for this brave and courageous doctor!

They killed him for snitching. snitchesgetstitches

Dies by virus*

Thanks to the Chinese Communist Party, there're now almost 30,000 cases w/almost 500 dead. IF they hadn't condemned this hero & lied, knowing that what he said was true, instead sending out the 'rumor police' to arrest him, he might still be alive & this dangerous disease halted.

What a mess.

Awful

I’m sure they tried very hard to help him.

He was silenced because he put out a warning.

Nice job, after CCP dragged he and his colleagues in cuffs until they were shamed by leaked video photos and text to submit him to testing and treatment ..

KTLA And?

Interesting...died from something that only has a 2% death rate and that 2% is almost entirely made up of the elderly, with most having pre existing health issues...but hey..a 34yr old heathly doctor that has upset the chinese govt by blowing the whistle seems normal too...

China is not transparent in this Coronavirus. They need to tell the truth about the scope of this. Don’t believe them. Until outsiders can assess this, don’t believe whatever they put out.

Ellysa_Maye Probably with complications, like, say, a firing squad.

He's alive

Soooooooo...they killed him.

I thought this man was alive? How many time are you going to kill him? Get it right for his family sake

The way this outbreak is being ignored by U.S Gov. should make you understand how serious it is. They are worried. And don’t want to incite panic. It’s like if a asteroid is heading at us, and they keep it from you as long as possible and see what they can figure out.

Friends, you can make this stuff up... or Conspiracy Theories for Idiots. We get it: Deadly serious, but come on...

This was breaking news when I woke up 5 hours ago, where yall been?

ChristianDund33

KTLA Highly suspicious.....

GERM WARFARE!!!!!!

Dont worry the flu is way deadlier..... I've never seen California do this for the flu....

Yeah, sure he did. Or you know, he was helped along by the CCP. I have said all along that they aren't telling the whole truth, and our expectation that they might is naive and dangerous.

R.I.P 🙏❤️

KTLA Yeah, that sounds completely legit.

Unfortunately, CCP don't listen to his warning and even think he is against the law of china, and try to cover up the story as far as they can which lead to WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak

Wow,.......just wow

Sorry AP I thought he had already died but it says he was revived but then passed

😥

Looks like a man made germ 🦠 let loose or gone wrong 😱😱😱💀💀💀🤷‍♂️🦠💀

ilufie 不仅如此,人死了官方还不让发布死亡信息。

According to WHO ...he is still alive

Wasn't he arrested 2 days ago? :D

Hit job by Chinese government...if it wasn’t for this doctor we would just be getting the first details about virus. COVERUP was in progress

I use to do marijuana, It isnt no good for the health

I stopped drinking alcohol

Crazy I just saw a story and hour ago that said he wasn’t dead….

Died 6 hours ago

I just kept drinking alot of alcohol before and it made me bleed and cough blood

A hero.

Again?

I said I had Aids, I don't

I do not want to catch anything

I am not now

This is old news

I use to be really sexually active

Terrible and horrifying. Reminds me of the 90s when Ebola outbreak terrified the world. Is this virus in the same family? No other news source has said....

He shouldn't. What a waste of human talent.

So I am clean

I had Gonneria, Aids, Clamydia, But I had my shots and pills

Fake news, they said he was in critical condition !!

R.I.P....

Maintain your health appointments

Uh-huh. 🤔

The Chinese government is lying about the number of fatalities.

Maintain yout health

Just take tests

People we are all the same

Sure he did...

It is just uncalled for

Died or executed by the Allmighty Party?

Silenced

People just say all kinds of things just to make you feel bad about yourself

Virus of swine flu is just flew

Sex is Aids

That is Bull

They said that about Aids in Africa

You do not have a plague

They denied he died. Said he was critical. Is this an updated to the update?

Stay Strong China you can get healthy, Go to Wyoming USA

Aí, RaUL_AMDERLAINE. Relaxa que mataram o zumbi.

There isn't Coronavirus it is alcohol poison, Tobacco Poison, marijuana poison and Vape poison

Must have caught that other illness, Totalitarianitis

China says no.

It was also reported he was in critical condition...We're back to dead? Which is it? This poor doctor...And we couldn't get his warning right...Now we can even get his death or not death correct? Damn.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

Who is the source material? FYI--Everything the Chinese government says is bullshit!

I mean. Come on.

😢😢😢

'Its like rain on your wedding day'....
