BillsFanNC Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 What the hell would a friggin ophthalmologist know about covid anyway? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51364382 Quote 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
