Dr. Li Wenliang, who worked at the Central Hospital of Wuhan China as a ophthalmologist, warned his colleagues about early COVID-19 infections in Wuhan China on Chinese social media platforms in December 2019. Wuhan police summoned him for "making false comments on the Internet about unconfirmed SARS outbreak.” He contracted Covid-19 in January 2022 and stoically documented his illness in online posts which were published worldwide. He died of COVID-19 on February 7, 2020.
