I was ordered into enforced quarantine on arriving in the NT on 25 March 2020. It felt somewhat like being in a police state, especially when two burly police officers came to my place of quarantine to check on me. After railing against my 14 day imprisonment, I gradually saw some advantages in isolation, and finally wanted to stay in quarantine forever!
