It looks like HK is beginning to become isolated from the rest of the world.
The nurses and Doctors wanted the HK government to shut down all travel completely between HK and mainland china.

"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," Wong says. "We have been advocating for this for weeks now. We have been advocating for this since early January. But they haven't done anything."
