Chinese media's reporting of the death of coronavirus whistleblowing doctor Li Wenliang ignited online anger after he was first pronounced dead, then alive and, finally, dead again. Li, 34, died early Friday, Wuhan Central Hospital said in a post on China's Twitter-like Weibo platform, after contracting the virus while treating a patient. Nationalist tabloid Global Times and state broadcaster CCTV first reported on Weibo that Li had died late Thursday -- but their posts were deleted after the news became the top topic on the popular platform.
