Doctor Li Wenliang is one of the whistleblowers who warned authorities of a potential "SARS-like" outbreak in December 2019, but was reprimanded by Wuhan police instead. The coronavirus has since claimed at least 425 lives and sickened more than 20,000 people globally -- including Li and his family.

In early January, authorities in the Chinese city of Wuhan were trying to keep news of a new coronavirus under wraps. When one doctor tried to warn fellow medics about the outbreak, the police paid him a visit and told him to stop. A month later he has been hailed as a hero after he posted his story from a hospital bed. Dr. Li was working at the center of the outbreak in December when he noticed seven cases of a virus that he thought looked like Sars - the virus that led to a global epidemic in 2003. The cases were thought to come from the Huanan Seafood market in Wuhan and the patients were in quarantine in his hospital.

Some Comments Worth Reading: The confirmed #coronavirusPH arrived Jan 21, and went to Cebu. Sure she didn't have nCov symptoms during entry. Think of how many people she could've interacted with.
Multiply that to the # of tourists we allowed entry. And we're confident of our Pinas healthcare system, really? "Ibig sabihin, January 21 pa lang, paglapag ng PILIPINAS CARRIER na siya ng VIRUS. JANUARY 22-24 KUNG SINO SINO NAKAUSAP O NAKASALAMUHA NIYA SA VISAYAS ay Diyos na lang nakakaalam. January 25, andito na siya sa Manila. Tapos nakaconfine ba o nandyan pa rin pagala-gala kasi wala namang sintomas, walang malalang karamdaman, at wala naman sakit na kailangan magpaospital, ubo-ubo lang? Saan na po siya ngayon, nakaquarantine po ba or nasa labas"
