  1. Even with next to zero understanding of the available facilities other than Alice Springs is in the middle of 'no where', and it has a decent airstrip for months I've been saying why can't they bring every Australian home who wants to come home and stick them on the outskirts of Alice Springs for a couple weeks. Even if you had to erect temporary accommodation. If someone doesn't want to tough it out in an Army tent or whatever for a couple weeks, fine your choice, don't come and stay where you are. FFS governments are hopeless.

  2. Because it can take up to 14 days for the virus to take hold in an infected person that wouldn't show up in the initial test. That is the reason for quarantine. And the reason that time can't be spent at home is because we tried that, and people didn't do the right thing and stay home.
