SEATTLE, March 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Li Lu, Founder and Chairman of Himalaya Capital,
hosted a video conference on March
13th, 2020 between three leading COVID-19 experts
from China to share their valuable
experiences fighting the virus on the frontlines over the past two
months with leading scientists, health practitioners, and policy
makers in the United States.
Dr. Zhiyong Peng, Director of
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, first shared with the
audience his intensive experiences and learnings from the ICU room
treating COVID-19 patients in Wuhan. Then, Dr. Bing Cao, who
is the leading author of China's
manual for diagnosis and antiviral treatment for COVID-19, spoke on
what his team knows about the virus and the effectiveness of
various treatments. Dr. Cao has been in Wuhan, China since the end of December to
coordinate China's national
antiviral treatment clinical trials. Lastly, Dr. Wenhong Zhang, the Head of Infectious Disease of
Huashan Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai, China, spoke about public health
defense in megacities such as Shanghai. Dr. Zhang has been fondly recognized
as the "gatekeeper of Shanghai" by
the Chinese public due to the low infection rate in the city.
Himalaya Capital has received overwhelmingly positive response
from the leading US scientists, doctors, and policy makers who
participated in the video conference on the credibility and
importance of the information shared. They have highly
encouraged us to distribute the information widely, particularly to
those fighting on the frontlines to prepare and fight the
inevitable onslaught of COVID-19 in the US. The experiences of
Drs. Peng, Cao, and Zhang helped save thousands of lives in
China and may well do the same
here in the US. Therefore, we have requested and received
approval from them to put their presentations and the video
conference links on our website for public
dissemination. Please go to our website
www.himalayacapital.com to access the materials. One of the
participants, Senator Bill Frist,
M.D., former Senator of Tennessee
and Senate Majority Leader has also shared the discussion with Dr.
Zhang via his "A Second Opinion" podcast at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt3Gou-Tjqo. If you have any questions or
helpful comments, please email us at info@himcap.com.
COVID-19 is a virus that does not recognize national borders. It
infects all human beings equally. We believe that close
cooperation between experts in the US and China and around the world will be one of the
keys to help humanity defeat this pandemic.
Himalaya Capital and the Li Lu Humanitarian Foundation have
conducted philanthropic efforts in China to help local Chinese institutions
battle against COVID-19 since the beginning of this crisis.
The Li Lu Humanitarian Foundation have donated more than US
$1.5 million in financial assistance
and medical supplies. We are now shifting our efforts as it is
time to defend our own communities, cities, states, and
country. If we can be helpful in facilitating further
discussions between the US and China on COVID-19, please feel free to reach
out to us at info@himcap.com.
