This is what it is like to be quarantined on Christmas Island

Life in an immigration detention centre on Australia’s Christmas Island has not been as bad as David Huang feared.

Mr Huang, a 22-year-old student from Sydney, is one of about 270 Australian citizens and permanent residents who have been flown out of China in the past week and taken to Christmas Island. But while some evacuees have said the conditions at the centre are worse than they had imagined, Mr Huang said he personally found the quarantine bearable.Although he said the travellers had found dead moths in their beds and dead cockroaches on the floors, and spent much of their first night in the centre cleaning, Mr Huang said he didn’t really mind.“But I think it's important to think about the fact that there are so many families here that they have to accommodate.

Sounds good

Two weeks will fly by and they will be out of there. It was a good call by the Australian govt.

How Australian is that. 'Sir, you may have Coronavirus, so here is some sunscreen, sandals, shorts and a game of Sonic Hedgehog' - consider yourself cured mate!

Evacuating all nationalities is not the best way to combat this deadly disease but cooperating with China to find a lasting solution must be way forward. If you run away from hyena, it's going to defeat you and finish you off. Let us all vanquish this epidemic disease together.
