'Is that it?': Chinese report into death of doctor who raised coronavirus alarm underwhelms by brendagoh_
SHANGHAI - A Chinese report into the coronavirus death of a young doctor reprimanded by police for “spreading rumours” when he tried to raise the alarm about the disease drew quick criticism online after it merely suggested the reprimand be withdrawn.
Their key recommendation, according to the report published by state broadcaster CCTV, was to say that Wuhan authorities needed to find the police who had reprimanded Li and hold them responsible for not following correct procedures.“Is that it?” said one user on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, where news of the report was the top read topic, with over 160 million views, on Thursday evening.
Since then, the virus has spread globally to 172 nations, infecting nearly 220,000, killing more than 8,900 people and crippling the global economy.The investigative team said Li had not disrupted public order with his actions, describing him as a professional who had fought bravely and made sacrifices. His family had received workplace injury and funeral subsidies, it said.
