- c0restraint 7y agoNeither of those links are working for me right now... first one is “not found” and second one is “doesn’t exist”
- AlbertoGP 7y agoYes, both GlobalTimes and WHO just pulled those links, instead of posting a correction, after the authorities decided to plug him to an ECMO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracorporeal_membrane_oxygenation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracorporeal_membrane_oxygen...) machine to defuse the massive uproar in China about his death, then had to declare him dead again. Others like The Guardian updated their articles, keeping the URL, as the situation changed. After the announcement that he was being kept alive, they added a paragraph at the top of the article explaining that, and later when he was finally confirmed dead updated that note to simply say “Early reports of death of Li Wenliang were retracted, only for doctor to succumb to disease later in day”: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/06/whistleblower-chinese-doctor-dies-from-coronavirus https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/06/whistleblower-...
