Very sad - Dr Li Wenliang, the initial whistleblower of the #coronavirus who was later infected, has passed away. Confirmed by @AFP News agency:
2) Dr. Li’s death has also been confirmed by the WHO. The 🦠 is now more real than ever:
3) WHO and China has retracted: Dr Li is still alive, just in critical condition. Hours earlier the same state media organizations reported that he had died. Oy. apple.news/AyjlvaN8nQk2o1…

Chinese govt is now officially cheating the 🦠 numbers: test positive but no symptoms? China will no longer count that person as a confirmed case!!! This will also make death % look higher too. This kind of science corruption can not stand! Let’s tell @WHO this is not okay!
2) this new Chinese #coronavirus 🦠 case definition goes directly against WHO interim guidance that defines a Confirmed Case as any: “person with laboratory confirmation irrespective of clinical signs and symptoms”. CCP is clearly violating that. 🤔 who.int/publications-d…
3) As result of the “revised” #coronavirus case definition (in violation of @WHO rules, see above), China has begun retroactive scrubbing of their case numbers... reports indicate by deducting 100 cases from past 2 days. What a cluster😡.

PREGNANCY+🦠: “Considering that the 2019-nCoV seems to have a similar pathogenic potential as SARS/MERS, pregnant women are at increased risk of severe infections, coronaviruses have the potential to cause severe maternal or perinatal adverse outcomes... thelancet.com/journals/lance…
2) (Given) “then current lack of data on 2019-nCoV infection during pregnancy, we recommend systematic screening of any suspected 2019-nCoV infection during pregnancy. If 2019-nCoV infection + pregnancy is confirmed, extended follow-up should be recommended for mothers+fetuses.”
3) Past SARS+pregnancy: 12 pregnant women were infected with SARS-CoV 2002–03. Four (57%) of seven women in the first trimester had a miscarriage. In 2nd-3rd trimester, 2 (40%) of 5 women had fetal growth restriction, 4 (80%) of five women had preterm birth. 3 (25%) women died.

PAYWALLS: This is a serious problem during 🦠 epidemics. Coronavirus scientists and readers deserve broader free #openaccess in search for answers, ALL studies examining wet markets, pangolins and other possible hosts, SARS, MERS, and more. @Wiley_Health @ElsevierConnect
2) Scientists in the developing world need #openaccess to thousands of #coronavirus articles that are behind paywalls. Just 1 paper can cost half a week’s salary in some parts of the world. Let's remind @Wiley_Health @ElsevierConnect to expand their coronavirus #openaccess.
3) "In 2015, Liberian public health officials co-authored a New York Times op-ed that lamented the amount of critical Ebola research that was unknown or inaccessible to scientists and health workers at the center of the 2014 epidemic."

THREAD: How #Beijing kept the world in the dark as coronavirus spread

The govt's initial handling allowed the virus to gain a tenacious hold. Officials chose to put secrecy ahead of confronting the crisis to avoid political embarrassment

The government's initial handling of the epidemic allowed the virus to gain a tenacious hold. At critical moments, officials chose to put secrecy and order ahead of openly confronting the growing crisis to avoid public alarm and political embarrassment
Authorities silenced doctors for raising red flags. They played down the dangers to the public, leaving the city's 11 million residents unaware they should protect themselves. They closed a food market where the virus may have started, but told the public it was for renovations.

#China's Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on #Wuhan virus deaths

Tencent briefly lists 154,023 infections and 24,589 deaths from Wuhan coronavirus

An error or the "real" numbers?
taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3871594
As many experts question the veracity of China's statistics for the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, Tencent over the weekend seems to have inadvertently released what is potentially the actual number of infections and deaths, which were astronomically higher than official figures.
On Saturday evening Feb. ), Tencent, on its webpage titled "Epidemic Situation Tracker", showed confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in China as standing at 154,023, 10 times the official figure at the time. It listed suspected cases as 79,808, four times the official figure.
