Feb 3; Blocking the coronavirus: Hong Kong medical workers go on strike to demand closure of border with China

The semi-autonomous city’s local medical union announced that 300 of the strikers are doctors and another 900 are nurses. Those figures are expected to balloon on Tuesday, as the employees alliance expects 9,000 union members to participate in the strike, if Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam continues to allow entry to Hong Kong from the mainland.

and just to show that yes, China is badmouthing the USA- (squirrel ! squirrel !):

““The U.S. government hasn’t provided any substantive assistance to us, but it was the first to evacuate personnel from its consulate in Wuhan, the first to suggest partial withdrawal of its embassy staff, and the first to impose a travel ban on Chinese travelers,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters on Monday. “What it has done could only create and spread fear, which is a very bad example.” “
