The Chinese doctor who was one of the original whistleblowers on coronavirus has died, according to the New York Times and the Washington Post. Earlier in the day, Wuhan City Central Hospital, where Li Wenliang was being treated, said on the Chinese social media site Weibo that doctors there were trying to save him.
Li said in an interview with CNN that he was scared he was going to be arrested."My family would worry sick about me, if I lose my freedom for a few days," he said.
