'Really bad luck': Jolin was evacuated from Wuhan only to return to Melbourne's lockdown

Jolin Liu, one of 600 Australians evacuated from Wuhan at the start of the pandemic, considers herself very unlucky.China has reportedly largely contained the coronavirus, recording a handful of imported cases every day

"The lockdown measures in Wuhan were very strict, even tighter than the stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne," she told the ABC.Some people would have been struggling to get food." Meanwhile, Australia has a total of 26,813 reported cases and more than 830 deaths — the majority in Victoria.So how does Victoria's response compare with Wuhan's coronavirus measures?One week before Ms Liu's family were due to fly home to Melbourne in January, Beijing took the unprecedented step of sending Wuhan and nearby cities in Hubei province into mandatory quarantine, affecting at least 50 million people.

This harsh approach was needed, in the view of city officials, to stem case numbers from spiralling out of control. A red or yellow status denied people from entering major facilities such as airports, train stations, and banks.Authorities at major transport hubs and checkpoints across the country were required to check the apps, which contained detailed location and personal data."In Wuhan, if you didn't scan your colour codeShe said this would never happen in Australia, given the country's commitment to human rights and domestic privacy concerns.

there’s more than 20million people living in WuHan , its gonna be a disaster if the government allows people going outside for shopping,exercises etc,yes it’s very strict but it worked

Better than lockdown on Christmas Island for SEVEN YEARS!

Tough shit.. you’re alive.. be grateful

Ummm...Melbourne's lockdown isn't a secret. Ffs, I am sick of people whinging about this. Would she have preferred to return to refrigerated trucks full of the dead? It's happened in some places. If you're not ok to lock down with the rest of us, stay away till it's over.

Pretty sure really bad luck would be dead?! 🤔. Ffs what rubbish ABC.

He's Chinese anyway so bugger him!!!!

Aww how brave , “ willing to sacrifice financially” ? No mention if hubby has still got an income . If you can afford to hide under the bed for 6 months fkn good for you , let the rest of us get on with living .

What goes around, comes around. Aint life a bitch!

Meanwhile in Wuhan ...

Three months old, and more true now than then. Michael Levitt is a Nobel Prize winning biologist who succinctly explains how C19 is around 20% more deadly than the 2017/18 flu.

It's almost as though pandemics are, you know, global

Alternate headline … 'It happened under Communism in China and now it's happening under Socialism in Victoria.'

Not luck at all..their decision. Stupid ABC.
