US citizens at March Air Reserve Base after flying from Wuhan described their lockdown experience to The Washington Post.
The dozens of Americans quarantined at a US Air Force base in California over the coronavirus have described taking boxing, Zumba, and even accounting classes as ways to pass the time, The Washington Post reported.
They are not allowed to leave the base and have been subjected to frequent medical tests for symptoms of the deadly coronavirus. So they are turning to their own sources of entertainment."When people hear quarantine, they think of the zombie apocalypse, movies like 'World War Z,'" Matthew McCoy, the theme-park designer on the base, told The Post."But the reality is it's what you make of it.
All of them are subject to a 14-day mandatory quarantine, and the Department of Defense has set aside six military bases in California, Texas, and Nebraska for the lockdown. Another woman and her 15-year-old daughter, who are observant Orthodox Jews, also said they couldn't eat for 40 hours because there was no kosher food available on board the cargo plane and at the March Air Reserve Base, The Post reported.Other people quarantined around the world over the coronavirus — from Russia to Australia to Japan to China itself — have also been documenting their lockdown.
