    HYPERLINK has full story

    snip

    An Australian man has been arrested after a large-scale manhunt ensued following his escape from a COVID quarantine camp.


    Reports on Thursday found the 27-year-old man escaped from a COVID camp in Australia’s Northern Territory last Friday, after testing negative for the virus a day prior. The man jumped the fence and went to the city of Darwin before being arrested on Wednesday. This comes despite posing no risk of COVID spread.


    Separately, a group of teenagers also escaped from the same camp after testing negative for the virus. They were also arrested.


    end snip


    go and re-read that

    Negative for Covid yet still arrested for escaping his imprisonment!!!!

    What in the heck is wrong with that country?

    The incubation period for COVID-19 can be up to two weeks and it can take up to a week after contact for an infection to be reliably detected by testing. That's why quarantine is necessary in the first place.

    Same as everywhere else - a significant number of ignorant and self-centred people.

    From what I have read they are aborigines' escaping from what some Australians call a voluntary camp.

    Someone using that kind of source has disqualified themselves, plus, that question in the op is not really meant to be a question.
    It's the same meaningless "look how bad down under is" panic attack that has been seen here for months.
    Don't like how Australia is handling their domestic affairs? Don't go there, don't visit. Problem solved.
    See you in the next meanigless idiotic panic attack thread shortly.

    Roger that. Problem is, Australians are giving our radical liberal socialists ideas on how to conduct tyranny. Its much like Spain in the 1930's acting like a rehearsal area for the Nazis. So we have to pay attention.

    imprisonment of people despite evidence that they are not infected. Now we imprison people because they may become sick

    Great country there. What's worse are the people who tolerate this

    let's get some honesty here Joe

    The evidence shows NOT GUILTY, yet they imprison, and then arrest for escaping the prison

    the man tested negative yet is punished. This isn't even calling into the question of the fact that people are imprisoned for being sick in the first place.

    Given your lame attempt at defense, every single person should then be imprisoned because they need to be watched for 14 days

    how leftists can even defend this is beyond me

    Is it true that the first detention camp in Australia was named Dachau? The second... Auschwitz? and the third... Bergen Belsen?

    Because they are all subjects of the Government and not citizens of their country.

    Everything I said was true and honest. A negative test within the incubation period doesn't mean the person isn't infected. That is why quarantine is necessary in the first place. That doesn't automatically defend the specific policies in this case but you can't discuss the validity of those policies without understanding and accepting those facts.

    Of course, you don't want to discuss anything, you're just pushing your predefined conclusions. My post was just relevant information for anyone who actually wants that discussion.

    Err ...maybe they can defend it using this;

    https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/medical-examination-immigrants-ellis-island/2008-04

    Its a article from America Medical Association Journal of Ethics outlining how the US used forced isolate for new immigrants arriving to the US in the late 18th and early 19th Century (including the use of detention for periods of upwards of 2 years in some cases.)

    Now I raise this article not in the sense that it's a case of 'Well you do it to!' but rather because it clearly demonstrates that forced isolation as a quarantine measure for people at risk of harboring a contagious disease has a long history around the world including the US.

    It follows then that if you you think its immoral/illegal to do this for COVID it must have been and is illegal/immoral to do it for a litany of other more serious medical condition as well. And I note it it still used by the US. Iin one particular case I recall a nurse of doctor returned from Africa after being involved in a recent Ebola outbreak (I think it was Ebola anyway). The State she lived in imposed mandatory quarantine over her protests. So right or wrong?

    I hail from South Australia. We have two deaths from Covid.
    My relatives live in Texas - they have had four and a half
    million Covid infections and 75,000 deaths. What is wrong
    with your country?

    You've already said the same meaningless stuff about fifty times on this board. Besides, one person being arrested is hardly "World News." face palm.
    Don't like it, don't go there, problem solved. However, someone who's so awfully scared of and at the same time obsessed with what's happening thousands of miles away and posts the same stuff over and over again shouldn't expect to be taken seriously. That source you used is nothing but digital toilet paper. Watch out, the coomunists from down under will be at your door next week..
    BTW, you don't live there, so using the pronoun "we" is absurdly incorrect.

    We don't like shivering in fear under our beds. Nor do we imprison people unless they are criminals.

    We have quarantine laws, if you escape you are breaking the law.
    Was Typhoid Mary in her rights to infect and kill other people?

    Asking about Typhoid Mary is totally irrelevant. Long ago in a totally different era. USA has changed since then.
    Obviously Australia hasn't.

    No, Typhoid Mary was informed she was a typhus carrier and she
    had to isolate - she refused and people died as a result. Was she
    in her 'right' to do as she pleased or were others in their 'right' to
    live?
    Two issues here - by asserting 'rights' some (many) feel free to spread
    contagion, and secondly, vaccine refuzeniks provide a large reservior
    from which the virus can spread, mutate and develope new strains -
    killing millions more. That's not a 'right' but selfish behavior.

    Worra... worra... worra... as you hide under your bed shivering fear, here in the FREE WORLD we get on with life. Its quite amusing how elitist tyrants can strike fear into their serfs and make them obey. It won't happen here.
