Concerns Grow Over Wuhan Doctor Amid Call For Return to Work
Whistleblowing Wuhan doctor Ai Fen is currently incommunicado, believed detained after giving media interviews about her initial concerns over the coronavirus, according to an Australian media report.
"Just two weeks ago the head of Emergency at Wuhan Central Hospital went public, saying authorities had stopped her and her colleagues from warning the world," flagship investigative show 60 Minutes Australia reported on Sunday.
"She has now disappeared, her whereabouts unknown," the show reported, also tweeting photos of Ai.
Soon after the show aired, Ai's account on the Twitter-like platform Weibo sent out a single, cryptic post with a photo taken from Wuhan's Jianghan Road.
"A river. A bridge. A road. A clock chime," the post read, the first since March 16, when the account posted to thank everyone for their concern about Ai and to reassure them that she was back at work as usual.
My interpretation
'After Disappearing, she posted this message: "A river. A bridge. A road. A clock chime"
Many people think this was code for talking about Britain. I think it's far simpler.
I think she was abducted, and wasn't sure where they were taking her, so she memorized a few clues to let people know where she might be.
Going from where she was abducted:
1. A River. Simple: they passed a river
2. A Bridge: Again, simple: they went over a bridge
3. A road. This road is a bit trickier because there are tons of roads which suggests to me that there was something special about this road. Perhaps a dirt road among paved roads, or paved road among dirt roads? Some other marker for a road that comes after a bridge that would make the road more apparent among all the other roads?
4. A clock chime: This could give clues not only to a rough time estimate (clocks usually chime at the top of an hour), but that she could hear a clock chime from where she was being taken.
I just wanted to contribute this to the board because it's the first thing I thought of when I saw this news story. This doctor tried to be a hero to humanity, so I hope she can be helped if it's not too late.
God bless POTUS, and all of you. We're saving the world.
