100% on your side regarding the hardships. It is astonishingly hard for all even those who are trapped inside HK, so many people have not seen family for a very long time. A LCC pilot I know without dental coverage has had to fly to their home just to get a dental work done and accepted the quarantine on both sides. Saved them money at least.
Australian pilots I know have gone home, quarantined and returned. It was based on their non-resident status so they are free to go as they see fit. Based guys on the other hand will have a hard time but nothing a work visa/
PR can't solve if it comes to that.
