i was surprised when I read the news this morning that this young doctor had died from the corona virus. he seemed a very fit looking young man and even in the picture of him lying in bed with a respirator on, he had life and fire in his eyes or was it more like fear. So to hear the news that he had passed away was as I say surprising and sad.

He was the first person to report this disease and for doing this he was got into trouble from government officials and he was told to keep his mouth shut or there could be consequences. But it was soon apparent that there was a problem and then there was an announcement finally coming from the Chinese Government that a new strain of a flu like virus was spreading through Wuhan.

My first thought this morning was that he had been killed rather than died due to the virus. If he lived he might caused too much trouble for some fat cat in government. of course we will never know if he died of complications or someone else had a hand in his death. Either way, it is a sad day for someone so young to die, especially someone who puts their own life on the line to help others.
