Faced with nearly 700 possible cases of Wuhan coronavirus, nurses in Hong Kong are threatening to go on strike if the city doesn't shut its border with mainland China.

One of the first cases of the new coronavirus in Hong Kong was found at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong. Health workers in the city fear an influx of patients.One of the first cases of the new coronavirus in Hong Kong was found at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong. Health workers in the city fear an influx of patients.Nurses in Hong Kong are threatening to go on strike if the city doesn't shut its border with mainland China.

"I very much understand the emotions, their rationale, and they are right to go on strike," Wong says. They argue that Hong Kong could have stopped the arrival of the illness by completely shutting its border with China when news of the virus first broke and by keeping it sealed until the outbreak on the mainland is under control.

On Thursday, Hong Kong did shut down all rail links to China, including its prestigious high-speed trains. Lam said the measures she's imposing to limit the flow of people from China in to Hong Kong are"drastic,""draconian" and"unprecedented." Sitting in a small garden area in front of the emergency room, Wong says hospital staff are preparing for what they believe will be a wave of patients with Wuhan coronavirus coming through the doors.

IF we don't close the border, just a lot of patient come to HK.

The border must be locked down! How many of Hong Kong people Carrie Lam wish to kill?!

We support medical workers strike until at least all the borders in HongKong are closed! It's not the fault of medical workers nor HKers. It's about CarrieLam and the government don't listen to the professional advice and do nothing. Threaten all in HK SOSHK

The HKSAR govt has been supporting the riot police in such a nice way even it creates more problems than solving em. The medics r guarding n saving the world. They should be even more protected cos they r contributing the world positively. Without support, hk medics should strike

It’s ironic that the statistics in China have already shown the situation is deteriorating, but the government still repeats their words claiming no complete border closure will be exercised. HongKong HongKongProtests coronavirus ChinaCoronaVirus Wuhan

Isn’t the whole purpose of this to unleash it on Hong Kong? Kinda seems like it. Can’t really trust China.

Hong Kong is not China!

Totally support hk nurses and medical related workers!

Stop entrance of viruses then things get under control. Make perfect sense to me

You keep allowing enormous number of potential patients to visit HongKong, but limited number of HK medical workers are not gonna heal everyone. Not shutting down the borders with China? Wait to see an outbreak of WuhanVirus in the coming week

Shut down the border NOW! HKers stand with the medics, this is a striektosavelives

Medical Staff strikes not only for their lives, but also all Hongkongers' lives and Hong Kong future!🙏💛💪 SOSHK CoronavirusOutbreak StandWithHongKong

The hospital in HK cannot handle the situation when has the lastest CoronavirusOutbreak 1. in last winter influenza season the bed occupancy rate is 111%,OVERCAPACITY 2. the provided mask is under WHO standard 3. Overwork 1.8 DOCTOR :1000 PPL 3.5 NURSE :1000 PPL more....

The medical professionals sacrificed their career to fight for public health protection. Their selflessness should be highly respected.

Just do it!

Supporting the strike, rubbish Hong Kong government must block the border between China and HK,it is the effective way to prevent the continue spread of disease,doctors and Hong Kong people safe, stand with Hong Kong, fight against disease and fight for freedom, never give up

HongKong gov is pushing HKers off a cliff, medical professionals are just asking for closeborders coz we cannot afford another deadly virus outbreak. Sadly, our gov is useless, they are just puppets. WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak

While other countries announced travel restrictions to Chinese visitors in a reaction to the rapidly spreading coronavirus, Hong Kong government claimed that a border closure is not needed and urges the healthcare workers to halt the strike. What a puppet government it is!

Support the strike and the gov needs to close the boarder! Carrie Lam is leaving HK as a gateway to let the Chinese escape. How evil that is! Our medical system has overloaded already! We don’t want any casualty of our health care staff! ChinaziVirus WuhanCoronovirus

Thx the medical workers who strike to pressure the disappointed HK Gov. The medics are also human beings and their lives should be well-protected. Blocking the source of wuhanvirus is a must. standwithmedics China_is_terrorist

It because mass china come to hongkong everyday, we don’t who are the virus carrier. If government they don’t close the border, they virus come to HK everyday, how to solve the problem, many of china city they already close the border, why HK can’t?

BoycottChina ChinaCoronaVirus

Fully support their decision to go on strike. When the Hong Kong police got millions OT allowance, our medical staffs are experiencing a shortage of protective equipments. Hong Kong doesn’t have enough medical resources to take care the mainlanders. coronavirus

Closing all borders is the only effective way to stop WuhanCoronavirus spreading to Hong Kong and to the World. But Carrie Lam still refused to do so! Many mainlanders still travel to other countries through Hong Kong!

The nonsense of our hk govt. Support our medical staff forever. ChinaCoronaVirus

Our medics have our fully support to this strike. They are not FEARS of Death. They are fears hkers will die. B4 is it too late carrielam need to shut down all the border. supporthkmedics

RoziRushan hk govt. has long devoted most resources to build infrastructure connecting china even with huge opposition rather than the medical system. Hkers need to wait years to hv proper treatment. We cannot handle unlimited parients from china and risk letting them to infect more hkers.

Your government is so incompetent that you have to teach them public health ABCs. Yet, they dare not to listen and as a result, you have to 'threaten' them to do so. Really? CarrieLam can you be any more useless?

Simple demand of the medical workers! But CarrieLam do nothing !! And the border keep going on ! How can medical workers finish their job They don’t allowed give up their life by the poor policy and the hk government !! FreeHongKong

the only sensible and effective thing to do to minimise the threat of coronavirus in Hong Kong! fully support the strike

Why CarrieLam keeps borders open? Policy: CoronavirusOutbreak to be an excuse to import Chinese medics Politics: HongKong to remain a transport hub for China's officials and resources Shock Doctrine: to stun HKers that she can act aginst everyone's interests if she likes

All lives matter. So as the nurses and doctors’ lives. They are like you and me, they have their own friends and family. Carrie Lam refuses to close the border is just putting all medical staff’s lives at risk. As a HKer, I fully support the strike.

The nurses bet their career to protect lives of Hongkongers, kudos!

It's simple, just close the bloody border, HKGov

Like majority of HongKongers, I support the medics. HongKong's hospitals will collapse anytime soon if the CoronavirusOutbreak worsens. By then, with open border, HK will become another Wuhan exporting cases globally. It's not just about HK, but also the world.

If the border is not closed completely, 7000 infected cases is not a myth. The whole medical system collapsed.

Support our medical staff ! They should not be pushed to the frontline to handle the patients while the puppet government continue to let the virus entering Hong Kong! So unfair for our medical staff!

Closing the boarders is the most effective measure to prevent community outbreak of Wuhan coronavirus in Hong Kong. If the govnt really care about the ppl & public health, it should respond to the ppl’s demands immediately.

It’s the MESSAGE that is most important.

Totally support hospital workers to strike & force the ignorant Hong Kong Gov to close the China border. The strike is not only for the workers themselves, this is also for the whole society, minimizing the spread of virus. The bloody Gov should be blamed for not taking action.

Closing Hong Kong border with China can stop mainlanders entering Hong Kong, that can largely reduce the risk of contact infected people.

Medics R normal ppl but also our heros. They have my support & respect in this strike. A full shutdown of border is to prevent a possible collapse of the entire medical system shud the infected case skyrocket becos of influx of people from China. Medical resources are scarce.

No one on earth can blame our medical professionals to go on strike! HKGov refuse to close the borders & stop carriers to HongKong. Medical staff are risking their lives at the frontline, unnecessarily An inevitable WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak is starting another massacre!

HongKong ’s medical system is overloaded already & it is impossible to cater all the suspected cases of WuhanCoronavirus if the mainlanders keep entering through the border. Shut the border is the only way to protect HK people from virus. CoronavirusOutbreak

HongKong hospitals cannot take that many new cases. Close the borders now!

The suspected cases of Wuhancoronavirus may be far more serious than we expected.

Besides the lack of medical resources, most mainland patients are still not honest with their travel history, which endanger everyone who has close contact with them and make the spread of coronavirus worse. hongkong should close its border immediately.

Total support! HongKong stirke for medicals

Closing all the borders is the only effective way to prevent mass community WuhanVirus outbreak. However, our Gov risks all Hong Kong ppl's lives to suck for CCP. Strike is the only way out, those nurses are with my full support!

700 suspected cases is alarming as the infections could geometric jump if the borders is not closed completely. Our medical workers go on strike to demand for closing the borders for Hong Kongers. Puppet government is useless ignores human lives for political stability.

Close the boarders in Hong Kong and support nurses go on strike China_is_terrorist CoronavirusOutbreak

Support strike. It's really ridiculous not to close the border. Why not?What is CarrieLam waiting for ?

Closing ALL borders to China is the most effective way to stop the virus spreading here and around the world. It's impossible to handle unlimited patients coming from China in Hong Kong with limited resources. But HKGov't rejects this in order to please CCP. Support HK medics!

Since closing the border is considered discriminatory, thousands are gonna be infected and die!

We Hongkongers support the professionals.

They are not only defending themselves, they are defending Hong Kong as a whole, and defending the whole world from a deadly infection.

A prominent SARS doctor, Dr Yuen warns that if Hong Kong government doesn’t take effective measures to limit the population mobility between China and Hong Kong, the local infection rate could go as high as 1.4 million and death toll 14k.

Facing the severe outbreak of coronarovirus, closing the border with China is the only solution, like what Macau, Singapore and Taiwan did. Government needs to put HongKong’s public health first.

We fully support they to go on strike. This is only way to save Hong Kong from WARS. This strike is saving 7m ppl

Someone said they strike because they fear death Come on! They have clearly said that they strike in the hope of closing the border Especially they are without enough and preventive gears,how do they protect themselves to save the patient?

Border closure is a must. With limited staff & inpatient beds, shortage of protective resources, it'd be irresponsible to jeopardize the health of medical staff & existing patients. They shouldn't be put in harm's ways due to inaction of HK government.

It's the making of CarrieLam to create this chaos unnecessarily risking the lives of the entire HK population & the rest of the world, & for what reason - other than taking up her kissing ass to CCP to the extreme end? & why do we need to bear that consequence? 支持醫護罷工

Strike is the only way to make HK gov to close the border. HK medical resources should be reserved for the locals not the mainlanders. StandWithHongKong ChinaCoronaVirus

Today is the first day. Wish the strike is work and fulfill the goal.

Hong Kong can't become the city which keeps exporting the WuhanCoronavirus. China tricked us back in 2003. We learnt the hard way, let's close the borders and not repeat the mistake!

Only shutting borders can avoid the outbreak of coronarvirus in Hong Kong. Carrie Lam still remains to be China’s puppet and ignores all advice by the medical professionals. Our frontline medics even have less protection wear than the police. Striking with them from today!

There's impossible for Hong Kong to cure all ChinaCoronaVirus infected Chinese, this would only lead to collapse of medical services system, but not cure HKMedicStrike

We fully support our medical professionals’ decision. HongKong should ban people visiting China in the last 14 days from entering to stop further WuhanCoronavirus outbreak here.

All people are trying to risk their freedom, living, jobs to save Hong Kong, despite the HK government is putting this city in risk.

Number would keep escalating if border not close, how the medics from 7M city take care patients from 1.3B country!? standwithHAEA StandWithHongKong

Closing the borders is the only way to stop people bringing in Coronavirus to HongKong . It’s nonsense to stop travelers only.

“Hospital Authority Employee Alliance passes the motion to launch a 5-day industrial strike. “ There’s a large group of people from medical sectors agree to strike against tyranny that neglects the safety of people. StrikeToSaveLives

kathrynacullen I thought the roads were blocked. There were videos of roads blocked with huge mounds of dirt. People are open to travel? I saw news everyone is on lock down.

It cannot write the feeling in word! It totally crazy !

HKers, no choice to this step!

Support the strike! Medical staff needs protection gears ans not unlimited exposure to the risk!

It’s all because of the incapable government who leads to all these consequences

It’s started from today, strike until shut down of borders to prevent CoronavirusOutbreak coronavirus

Fully support the striking of the medics! It’s the only way to pressure the fxxking government to shut down the borders.

mkjai0401 The nurses got our full support as they are trying to pressure the govt. to take immediate action to control influx of travelers who may burden our already overloaded healthcare system. We can't jeopardize the health of long term care patients & the local people.

Proud of those medicial staff. They are putting their life at risk but Carrie Lam still care nothing about their life. She is definitely the puppet of chinazi. antichinazi CarrieLam

if the border is not closed, there will be massive outbreak of coronavirus in HongKong standwithmedics

Its staggering to know over 50 countries with Macau close border with China while our Hong Kong govt insist to open our arms to embrace such outbreak. Luckily, our medical staff stands out and strike, while flight attendants may be the next. StandWithHongKong

Shutting the border is the most important measure that HKSAR can do to stop the source of WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak .

CarrieLam and the officer of HKGov should dedicate their home for the isolation camps. China_is_terrorist StandwithHongKong

Thanks medics to safeguard our healthcare system from collapsing. Healthcare resources has been strained for years & can’t handle endless influx of possible coronavirus infected cases. Close the border & let out medics focus on fighting the epidemic.

When the nurses & doctors don’t even have enough masks and protection uniform to wear and HKSAR is still welcoming mainlanders with coronavirus in open arms, what do you expect them to do? Who will be responsible if they got infected and died?

Don’t shut down the border = Fail to WARS source A candle cannot burn both ends

The broader context is that the public medical system is already overburdened b4 the epidemic & the Govt is not able to secure adequate protective gear for medical staff. It’s unfair to demand the nurses to keep working while the Govt is not playing her part to protect them.

Go on strike nurses. You have all my support. I fully endorse you decision and have confidence on you professional judgement over that of Carrie Lam's.

10,000 people have died from the flu in the US in the 2019-2020 flu season. How many has corona virus killed?

That free universal healthcare is not that great.

Strike? Nurses will let the sick die? Wow. Free Hong Kong? Nah, Capitalist Hong Kong... 😪

There has to be another way. They can't strike. People will die. I get it, but they need to do this another way.

HKMerryGoRound We hv no choice as the govt only responsible to the CCP but not the people of Hong Kong If Hong Kong didn't shut down the border, Hong Kong would be another WuHan. We don't know why as Macau shut down the border but Hong Kong still welcome those who may bring the diseases.

100% support to medical workers in HK. Why they have to risk their lives when BloodyCarrie refused to lock down HK to lower the chance of spread of ChinaCoronaVirus. She risks all HKers' lives to please CCP and even moral coercion the medical workers. HOW DARE YOU🤬

I fully support the medics to strike and willing to strike together! Coz the gov did not close the border (stoping travelers from mainland), which is a policy that can control the epidemic situation! There’s no way the medical system can handle unlimited patients from mainland!

Nurses and doctors are great; don’t care about their jobs status in future; that is real HKers, not to see things in money terms.

I’m surprised the border hasn’t been closed before this

8Boat228828282 Support !

Support the strike Not shutting the border is like allowing the virus to get in freely, no matter how hard our medical staffs work the disease still can’t be eliminated

The world need to BoycottChina for what they did you Uyghurs and HongKong! And the PoliceBrutality was elevated in recent months.Please consider MagnitskyAct and StandWithHongKong

StandWithHongKong SupportHKMedicalWorkers China_is_terrorist

we support the strike! only the selfish ppl will ban the strike and keep saying that we have closed some of the borders already

Most of the cases of WuhanCoronavius are imported from China. Closing all borders are the only way to prevent the outbreak of WuhanCoronavius. Closing few ports are meaningless !

Closing border is only way to prevent things get worsen, and HK gov't is doing nothing about it

They choose to be on strike not out of fear, but their love to Hong Kong. Support

700 possible cases when even doctors & nurses from private sector are asked to bring their own surgical mask to work when right now even you are willling to pay over a grant in HongKong, you get none. If they are not taking strike, they are slowly killing thenselves

I fully understand why they need to strike, medicinal system was highly pressure in those years! Also, they are totally not enough protection by Government to handle this highly contagious virus. If still don’t close the gate to China border, the outbreak in HK will coming soon.

Support Hong Kong Medics

Support the strike! HONG KONG PEOPLE dont welcome chinese tourists and ChinaziVirus/ChinaCoronaVirus 🦠

More people coming into HK from china, more chance to spread the WuhanVirus , shouldn’t we close the border now to save more people’s lives, before it wide spread? The HK government never listen to professional advices or people’s voice. They are killing HK people!

When did medical staff become 'nurses'?

80% of the Hong Kong people agree with border closure, and 60% support the medical staff to strike for this demand

Only if the border between HongKong and CCPChina is closed can the efforts of medical workers be meaningful. Inflected Chinese could flush into HongKong freely with opened border and limited manpower of medical workers will have to deal with unlimited number of patients.

We should not risk Hong Kong’s public health & human lives during outbreak of Wuhan coronavirus. That’s why so many citizens support the medics’ strike to urge the govnt to take effective measures.

Poor hkers that’s because the bloody government

Shut the borders with China or go on strike. This is simple. Medical workers in Hong Kong are not saying that they would never help any person, but the Hong Kong should shut down the borders with China to protect HKers first.

That’s what’s happening on the streets of China every day due to the coronavirus.

As a HongKonger , I stand with the medical staffs! HK doesn’t have enough resources and manpower to take care of the Mainlanders. But, they are pouring into HK to escape the coronavirus. If we don’t hv a complete border shut down with China, our medical system will collapse.

Many people may see it the problem of HK, and is nothing to do with their countries. But the fact is that, shutting the China border is another powerful measure to stop virus spread to other countries

I can feel that strike is the most difficult decision for Hong Kong health workers to make if we got choice, but pathetically HK health system is overloaded &even unable to protect ourselves IF government doesn't close the border. Many countries close the border so why can't HK?

Our medical staff they want to solve the problem directly, however hongkong government they don’t want solve the main point so they don’t close the border

The ridiculous situation in Hong Kong is HKMedicStrike

香港醫護,加油💪🏻

Support

We just have to isolate ourselves from the Virus-exporting country! We have to save ourselves!

Not only the medical workers, all HKers are desperate and feel pressure. The HK Gov did nothing to protect the medics. The HKers support the medical unions to strike to pressure the Gov. SOSHK WuhanVirus

It makes sense to stop the leak before before mopping up the water on the ground. It is common sense, which Hong Kong government lacks.

Fully support

And it is heard that the protective gowns and antiseptic alcohol are going to run out in 10days. Hong Kong government do nothing to help.

benedictrogers The world should issue travel ban to HongKong, if HK leader, the Chinese govt. puppet Carrie lam, is still refusing to close the border with China, where a large number of Chinese have been escaping their homeland via HK.

Support the medics go on the strike. They are in tenterhooks everyday. Strike

Carrie Lam refused to discuss with them or implement any meaningful measure to address the current situation. So this is the only way left to discourage unwell mainland visitors from coming to HK and to protect HK people. The govt give HK people no other choice!!!

Our medical professionals have our full support. They gave their all & some gave their lives during Sars which was an epidermic brought yet again by China lying. We learned our lesson. Carrie Lam keeps border open as backdoor for CCP officials. We must close it to save ourselves.

benedictrogers But HK CE Carrie Lam failed to react, just stubborn as what she does in the Extraedition Bill last year. From her track record, HK would be in big trouble......

They have to do so in order to protect themselves and provide regular service to HK ppl as resources are limited. We have to protect ourselves before helping others. nCoV2019 StandwithHK

Based on this trend and SARS, a blockade on HongKong will happen anytime soon. By then, there'll be another humanitarian crisis in HongKong. Civilians cannot access necessities and medications - expect deaths of starvation. It's possible. Shut the borders now.

There's already insufficient medical resources in Hong Kong, how can we cure more coronavirus infected people Hong Kong medics are willing to cure them, but we don't have the resources now, letting more patients can only lead to more infection

they got all our support. HongKongers stand with our medics professionals

They are not just thinking about themselves but also the well-being of everyone. Clearly, the capability and manpower of the medical staffs are insufficient to deal with a large number of patients. They’re just digging their own graves with the borders opened. coronavirus

They need to strike. Nothing will change

Even a primary student knows the rationale but not puppet CarrieLam and her officials Simple because of political correctness coronarovirus HongKongProtests

To follow along with the Dems other border policies & lack of common sense. Aren’t u complaining about US closing borders or stopping certain planes to contain the corona virus? We should be allowing everyone to come over right?

It was not the Medical Professionals escaping from duties. It is the puppet HK Govt failed to take measures to protect them: Close the Border; Ensure protective supplies to hospitals (not the HKPoliceTerrorists ) Left: Police with full ppe Right: Hospital staff w/o protection

Everything is simple, HK govt allows HK police brutality, so that we can assume HK govt simply hates every protests and will do anything possible

HongKong doesn't have enough masks for every citizens to prevent coronavirus. So the best way to slow down the outbreak is to close the borders to stop Chinese visit HK.

3 cases In Canada 🇨🇦🥺😷

WE 100% SUPPORT OUR MEDICAL WORKERS! YOU ARE DOING THE GREATER GOOD FOR ALL OF US in HongKong!!! It is ridiculous that the government insists to keep the border open, and let tens of thousands of Chinese coming to our city every day.

The strike is not out of fearing threats of coronavirus to their own lives, they are doing it to prevent mass infection in HK. When the hkgov fails to provide and promise adaquate protective gears to medics, the strike for shutting borders are totally understandable & supported

We standwithmedics

Support Hong Kong medical workers strike. StandWithHongKong CoronavirusOutbreak

This is majority desires of Hong Kong people and public pressure to HK gov to block the border. To prevent the speedy spreading of wuhancoronavirus is everyone responsibility as this has been becoming an emergency health issue in the world!

Our professional medical workers are making the right move! Support!!

A wise choice? Say we are aggressive? Well, only when there's a stubborn and deaf-like government will there be a group of angry and proactive public. Blame not the public but the selfish CarrieLam.

Close all the boarders in Hong Kong antichinazi CarrieLam CoronavirusOutbreak

700 possible cases in Hong Kong!!!!!! WTF coronavirus

All of these can be prevented, but Carrie Lam refused to do it

Why doesn't HongKong Gov't close the border? Because it wants to show its loyalty to CCP! In front of nCoV2019, political matter still outweighs people's health! HongKong Gov't isn't willing to protect HKers' health so medics need to take action themselves. Sad

Number of cases will be skyrocketing, how can the medical staffs in the 7 million place secure 1 .3 billion people’s life? That’s ridiculous! not shutting the border off only lead to more infection in Hong Kong. standwithHAEA

Carrie : Closing the border is DISCIMINATORY!!

Stop the source is most important and efficient! Meanwhile, HK gov is cutting medical resources. HK has no resources to support all patients from China WuhanCoronovirus WuhanVirus

Support! Our medical professionals have no responsibility to risk their lives for this evil and selfish HK government who just care about the feelings of Beijing but not the lives of Hongkongers!

Hong Kong is right next to Guangdong province where has the 2nd most infected people in China. Closing ALL the borders to China is the most effective way to stop the virus spreading here and around the world. Support HK medics! WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak

Its simple. Shut down the spawn point or it never ends.

Support the medical strike! How can we offer help to others but while keep exposing our families and society in a death threatening situation? HK govt doesn't care the live n death of HK 😡 citizens

We fully support the medical workers strike. ''If the government listened to us, if they had closed down that high-speed rail, if they closed down the borders, all of this could have been prevented.'

The medical system in Hk is already collapsing while the shameless hksar government still want to add on more burden . They rejected to close the broader and ignore the voice of people. Fully support the medical professionals China_is_terrorist

We need to close all borders with connected with China, otherwise countless mainlanders who got WuhanCoronavirus can come to Hong Kong. Our medical system, frontline doctors and nurses will be under high pressure. WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak

Without closing the border,countless mainlanders can enter HongKong freely,who can with WuhanCoronavirus Tell me how it would not make situation worse and make coronavirus break out in HongKong ? That's why the workers would strike to ask for closing border

The HongKong medical workers do the right thing only, if HK gov don’t do anymore, we can do it ourselves only, CarrieLam totally give up to defense WuhanCoronavirus for HKers, even she let HKpolice to attack us, the hkpolicebrutality just happened in last night

To better understand the context, you can imagine: Wuhan Virus =White walkers HK Health Workers=Night's Watch Carrie Lam= Night King

Fully support!

It may not make a difference at this point. I feel so sorry for all medical staff in Wuhan and untreated/undiagnosed patients. I'm so angry at how this is being handled and controlled. I wish this hadn't happened at all, but seeing patients locked in homes hurts my soul.

My drug addict punk neighbor broke in my shed and stole my weed whipper and I called the cops. The cop came out and looked at my shed and I said aren't you going to take fingerprints and he laughed at me and walked away. That's the kind of thing I have to deal with at this stage.

too late ... prepare for epidemic.

Stupid Chinese government!!!

'We don't have to be risking our lives doing our clinical works. This is not a natural disaster. This is a man-made catastrophe.'

Well.... Is Abandoning their local ppl ethical or professional? Or this is simply political?

They can strike in China? Thought that was a death sentence

It's an excuse so the CCP can finally absorb Hong Kong

I thought they did?
