Can't see any need for CyprusGrump to be grumpy over this luxury

Looks good! But...

My friends have been locked-in for a week now.

It started off as described in the video but the food has gone from 'delicious' to inedible (picture of 'lunch' attached)...

They are unable to order booze or have anything sent in (some other hotels allow deliveries from relatives).

The students that were on the same flight run riot in the hotel every evening so they can't sleep - they complain but nothing happens.

What started off as 'wow, this is much better than expected' has changed to, 'I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy'.

Issues to do with how well or badly enforced quarantine is implemented in a given case is not an argument that quarantine should not be used at all. It is an argument that when used it should be done 'properly'.

There are vastly more people outside of Cyprus quarantine who live in far worse deprivation than that you describe and have done so not for a limited 14 days but for year after year after year. Whether you would wish that on your worst enemy or not, such deprivation has always existed and we generally been pretty indifferent to that, even though the 'solutions' are simple, compared to the hard choices about temporary quarantine for 14 days in the midst of a pandemic. For me this is the context in which I hear you 'righteous outrage' about the fate of a minuscule proportion of the population having to 'suffer' such quarantine having first had the choice to not return to Cyprus whilst such requirements are in place.

FFS ErLolz, what is up with you...?

I merely reported the conditions my friends were experiencing which are (after the first week) in stark contrast to those shown in the video. I made no argument for or against the process.

Get over yourself FFS!

Nailed it Erol.
This was my point all along.

Cabin fever will take over eventually.
