minuit_mystique | My rant about stupidity (Reply)

I am amazed at some people's stupidity. And the fact that a lot of people in Australia don't realise that when you are faced with a virus (swine flu) which is rapidly spreading across the globe, quarantine is essential!!!!
Also, some people are just never satisfied. They will complain about absolutely everything; no matter how stupid it is.

Here's what I'm talking about:

- So, a cruise ship turned up at a harbour in New South Wales (Australia), some people on it were sick. They are affraid it is swine flu
- They quarantine the ship
- People complain about the quarantine, says delay is unacceptable or some such crap.
- They tested the passenger who showed symptoms, and said it wasn't swine flu.
- They let the ship go after just 24hrs of "quarantine" - because people were complaining. They didn't bother waiting long enough to see if anyone else will develop symptoms.
- The ship came up to Queensland (Australia)
- Several passengers on the ship have NOW developed symptoms and have tested positive for swine flu
- NOW people are complaining "why didn't you quarantine that ship in NSW?"
- The ship is now quarantined ... after the swine flu has already spread off that ship ..

*sigh* *headpalm*
