If you were trapped in that Tenerife hotel

Would you try to escape?

Me - yes.

They have only what's in their mini fridges, no extra water or anything.

I doubt the Tenerife tourist police would shoot, you'd just have to look like you weren't doing anything wrong. 

I can’t understand why they’re making the same mistake with these guys they made with the diamond princess. Get them to bio safe quarantine fgs! Not that I expect many, if any, of these guys have been cross-infected - very different environment - but if the authorities think there’s a risk then they should be acting first and foremost in the interests of those actually exposed to it - the people in the hotel. Get them off site.

So fate presents you with your greatest ever opportunity to howl and wail and generally rage against the world’s unfairness to you for a whole fortnight and you’re going to try and walk away?

I think we both know that ain’t gonna happen.

Laz I doubt there’s anywhere on a Canary Island that could quarantine a thousand people.  Most of the islands are a big volcano with a few hotels perched on the seafront.
