Information about the case of the Chinese doctor Li Wenliang

1. UPDATE February 6, 2020 / 8:10 p.m.: The WHO has now removed your tweet! An earlier version of the article said Chinese doctor Li Wenliang had died. We have now subsequently adjusted the message. Apparently the doctor suffering from coronavirus is struggling with death in a Wuhan hospital. Li himself is connected to a machine for artificial respiration, a spokesman for the Wuhan Central Hospital said! The fight for Li's life is currently ongoing.

2. UPDATE: February 6, 2020/10:07 p.m.:  The reports are overwhelming. We have now been able to see directly from the “Wuhan Central Hospital” on the Chinese social media platform Weibo that the doctor died on February 7th, 2020 / 7:58 p.m. (note: of course you have to pay attention to the time difference here). It was written here:
