JEEZE! Somebody down under reads my posts!(maybe Reece passed up the chain of command?) In today's WSJ: "Australia will pull out citizens stuck in Wuhan...and quarantine them in an immigration detention center on a remote island 1000 miles from its coast-Christmas Island near Indonesia. The quarantine plan is one of the most extreme undertaken by any government thus far to limit the spread of the virus. Evacuees will be kept there for two weeks believed to be the incubation period for a potetial virus carrier to develope symptoms. So far 600 people have registered with Australia's foreign affairs dept. Currently 7 people are confirmed to have the coronavirus Down Under." Somebody competently in charge realizes: with the devastating fires et al; Australia simply doesn't need a 'second headache' at this time in history!
