Australia start of January zero COVID19 now more than 5000. Home Affairs Border Force failed to stop, test, quarantine sea and air arrivals hosts to COVID19 that infected Australia. We need Royal commission now so same never happens .

Of course, those at the airport were not provided protection, guidelines, PPE etc until recently- they are literally first point of contact. They should have seen that coming 🤦‍♀️

Australian dramatically rescued from stranded cruise tests positive for COVID-19Australians on board a stranded cruise ship stranded off Montevideo in Uruguay say the 'grim' situation on board is deteriorating after a seriously ill passenger was evacuated and found to have COVID-19. I bet they all thought it was pretty cool jumping aboard a germ incubator on March 15 to see Antarctica in the middle of a pandemic? Ultimately they made a poor decision to go. I know a lot of people who cancelled their travel plans well before that. Lost money but didn’t care. Long way from The Love Boat. I would imagine these Australians would rather be locked up in a 4 star hotel in Australia for 14 days than stay where they are.🤔
