More estimates coming in, HKU head Gabriel Leung (who got egg on his face earlier for dumb comments) spoke about it today

He says 25,000 cases in Wuhan, with a possible up to 43,000

Locking down Wuhan isn't going to work anymore

Each major city in China is going to have hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of very sick people in the next few months.

Blocking people from Wuhan isn't nearly enough. The whole point of "two systems" is so HK can protect itself from this sort of thing. There is literally no argument against it, other than "losing face"

This may push the protests straight into chaotic riot territory
I mean when other countries US, Canada, UK aren't banning Chinese tourist HK really have no ground to outright ban all Chinese tourist unless WHG deemed is dangerous.
