Australians in quarantine at Sydney hotel describe 'prison-like' conditions

Fuck them. If I had the chance I'd swap places in a heartbeat.

I had to return home early from overseas study. I'm 7 days into my 14 day quarantine at home and I've spent the last week in constant fear that I'm either asymptomatic or about to get sick and I will pass coronavirus on to my family members with high-risk conditions. I've been as careful as I can and kept myself and my belongings at a distance as much as possible, but there's not much comfort in that when we still all have to share a bathroom and kitchen.

I would've stayed somewhere else for the 14 days if I could afford it.

But this lot gets an all-expenses-paid stay in a cushy luxury hotel with free meals, cleaning, laundry, shopping and whatever else and a massive weight off their minds about passing on infection to others. And they're whinging like they're the most unfairly woefully downtrodden people on the planet. They have no clue how lucky they are.
