The majority of individuals who responded were outraged. One user said, “What a disgrace of a question??? Surely the obvious answer to should there be INTERNMENT CAMPS always be a resounding NO!!!!!”
Another replied, “This headline is an all time low.”
One user answered, “Yes. We need protection from anyone who thinks this is a good idea. Put them there and some people at this news rag can lead the way.”

One individual replied, “That a national newspaper can consider such a question to be worthy of debate shows how far removed as a society we are now from having basic respect for human rights and liberty. To consider sending people to prison for a positive test which may not even be accurate. This is a scary echo of Germany in 1930’s.”
In December, three individuals escaped an Australian quarantine camp and were arrested. They scaled a fence to break out of the facility and were found after a manhunt was sent out for them.
