3. OMG...

RIP, Professor. My sincere condolences to your family.

And our collective national fury at the fool in our White House that has brought us to times like this.

[blm]

4. Oh geez.

[Meowmee]

5. 😿

More blood on dump’s hands and everyone who voted for him or who didn't vote etc.

[gristy]

Just as it did when Li Wenliang died.

[QED]

7. Hitting like a brick.

My first job was as a tech in a lab that worked with his. R.I.P. Steve.

[Mike 03]

8. Awful beyond words.

[Roland99]

10. Awww damn

[Blasphemer]

11. Very sad. I interacted with him several times...

When I applied to the UW Epi program. I ended up going to school elsewhere, but I remember him being very kind and helpful. May he R.I.P.

[Hortensis]

12. So sad. He had a very distinguished career and made many

valuable contributions.

He must have always wondered if one of the diseases he studied would kill him and also spent a fair amount of time thinking of all that could happen if one hit during the Trump administration.

RIP.

13. Please God

Take the science deniers first. Not the actual scientists.

[Evolve Dammit]

18. Amen

[FiveGoodMen]

23. I think that was up to us

And instead, we protected their "right" to lie to everyone.

[Tumbulu]

26. yes, I agree- this "right" to lie protection

has way outlived any good that it might have ever served. And in my opinion, there was never any good.

14. I've followed epidemiologists since onset virus re: its lethality

.. 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.

[SunSeeker]

20. Yes, the Wuhan whistleblower doctor was only 34 year old!

[uponit7771]

15. damn ...

[Glimmer of Hope]

16. Damn.

[mdelaguna]

17. Omg

[SunSeeker]

19. Shit! We can't lose the healers! This is awfully sad and scary.

[riversedge]

21. We lost a good one today. Peace to his family.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Wow. Was watching people take swabs at drive-throughs

And I thought how brave are they. Btw, they just had those flimsy blue face masks they told us not to buy because they don't work.

[dewsgirl]

25. I think the n95 masks do work, I understand there is a shortage though.

Of course, I 100 percent expect someone to come along and disagree with me.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. Yup. Heard someone say today that the minute we

Saw trouble in China back in December we should have ramped up getting all our supplies produced and in place.

[EndlessWire]

30. If it's properly fitted

and you wear it correctly. The mask itself can make you woozy if you have to wear it for hours at a time. Better safe than sorry.

[dewsgirl]

32. I heard it can also bother your ears.

[juxtaposed]

33. N-95 respirator protects the wearer from the area around them

it has a oneway valve that opens when user exhales and closes when the user inhales.
A person who is sick shouldn’t wear a n95.

[dewsgirl]

34. Exactly.

[scarletwoman]

24. Oh, how awful!

[cilla4progress]

27. Fuck

no

[Sugarcoated]

28. So sad!

Did he have any underlying health issues? He doesn't look like he was much older than maybe early 60s

[UpInArms]

31. This godawful virus will rob us of many fine and brilliant people

Never forget that this was, in part, brought about by some dumbfuck worrying about his poll numbers

[Mrs. Overall]

35. Holy shit.

RIP Professor Schwartz.

[mzmolly]

36. Incredibly sad

news.
