.. of novel corona virus: Covid-19--all stressing that it is unlike other viruses. Seems those who work in medical, now research field closet to novel corona virus have higher risk of contracting and or dying it. Hopefully, extreme safety precaustions are noe in place to protect them, others on the front line.
Dr. Li Wenliang contracted the virus while working at Wuhan Central Hospital also died of covid19.
