Dr. Li Wenliang, 1986-2020. Tried to sound the alarm on seeing early COVID-19 infections in Wuhan.
Police summoned him for middle-of-the-night interrogation & under threat of prosecution made him sign a promise not to โpublish untrue statements.โ
Dr. Li died of COVID on Feb. 7. https://t.co/R1Y8dKIyIa
