Closing ALL the borders to mainland China is the most effective way to stop the virus spreading here and around the world.
But puppet HKGov't refuse this in order to please CCP. No one can afford a outbreak happen in Hong Kong. Everyone will suffer.

Thank you all the medical workers for striking to save
#HongKong
from
#CoronavirusOutbreak
. This is the only way to pressure the Hong Kong government to completely close the borders with China. Those medical workers are really brave.

What
#CarrieLam
did is sth approved by
#CCP
only and very ineffective to block only small portions of mainland travellers to bring
#WuhanPneumonia
to HK. HK is still exposing in extremely high risk, especially frontline medics. Protect themselves 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hongkongers support their strike decision. Our hospital can not handle unlimited case, inadequate medical workers in ICU take care too many critical patients

If the border is not closed, the medical system would collapse due to overloading of mainlanders. HK gov always do the wrong thing.

Support them definitely.
They are doing so just because puppet HK government refuses to close border with CHINA, allowing virus spreading from CHINA to HK, putting people in HK in danger.
