Derfred and others, there is something so simple about Quarantine that seems to be going over everyone’s head and finally resulted in today’s takeover by Victorian Police. It is very simple: people don’t want to be in quarantine! Quarantine, no matter how you put it, is a form of incarceration, period. People hate it.
As practiced before air travel was invented, your ship was anchored in a designated quarantine anchorage and flight was not possible. You were marooned unless you thought you might escape sharks and drowning. The Quarantine station at Point Nepean still exists as a national park. complete with cemetery and crematorium. You stayed in Quarantine until the disease had worked its course and you either lived or died, but you weren’t getting off, period (there was a hospital but you get the drift).
Fast. forward to 2020 - private security guards who can’t use deadly force let alone any force. Visits to shopping centers, pass out, girlfriends, prostitutes. IF YOU ARE QUARANTINED YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTACT WITH ANYBODY!!!
Why is this so hard to understand for you ******* milllenials? We now have over 700 dead and billions of dollars in costs because you *7^&wits don’t understand that quarantine means total isolation!!!
For f&8&* sake put barbed wire around the hotel, machine gun nests at each corner manned by the ADF, and treat quarantine as it was designed to be implemented, not as some “optional life style choice”.
Rant terminated.
