(Bloomberg) — A Chinese doctor, Li Wenliang, who was reprimanded by police after warning colleagues about a new respiratory disease emerging in Wuhan, has died after falling ill, according to a person familiar with the matter. One patient was quarantined at his hospital in Wuhan, Li said. On Jan. 1, the Wuhan Public Security Bureau issued summons to Li and the others accused of fanning rumours. I interviewed Doctor Li Wenliang who was lying in his sickbed via text messages. The death was reported earlier by the Global Times, a Chinese state-run media organization, and other Chinese outlets.
