hello my name is van Cavanaugh and it is
the second of every is it it is the
second of February and it is day 2 of
quarantine in the world day one was
grand absolutely no complaints everyone
has just been so helpful all the arrow
Park staff all the NHS staff that are
here now everyone that helped us to get
here everyone's just been so helpful and
we're all so thankful for it and we have
a constant supply of food coming in I
just had breakfast there maybe an hour
ago I think I took a video of it and
we're not going hungry we're not bored
we can socialize with each other if we
want I had a game of pool yesterday and
that was foot there was the rugby on in
the Six Nations in the communal area so
Ireland what that's good if anyone feels
sick at any point we can message through
our phones and the doctor will come to
our room and check us see how we're
doing as of right now as far as I know
we're all healthy but I can't speak for
everyone people can stay in their room
for the entire two weeks if they want
but like I said you can go out and
socialize to the communal area if you
feel like it and but if you do you take
the right precautions you know you wear
your your mask and when I was playing
pool we were wearing gloves as well just
so we don't touch anything by accident
there are families here I just saw just
as I was getting some water there I saw
one of the one of the young kids he was
just whacking balls back and forth on
the pool table there are I think eleven
more people on the way people I couldn't
make the first flight are on the way now
and then I think they'll join us so
hopefully again same story with them in
a two weeks for them will they'll get
out and we'll all be healthy and get
back into the public as for the people
who were still in Wuhan my friends and
people I know I we can only hope that
they still take the right precautions
only go out where necessary and
hopefully they'll be RI - I'm sure if I
were still there I'd be thinking the
same thing you know when you're in the
situation you don't you try your best
not to panic so when you look at the
situation from further afield it might
look worse than it feels when you're in
it but they're there they know how to
cope and let's hope they they're okay in
the end
everyone here that's currently here and
everyone that calls here everyone did
just such an amazing job I can't imagine
how tired some of them were some of them
flew over to Wuhan and then came back
with us and we just were just so
grateful we can't express how thankful
we are I don't know how to repay that
debt that's a huge thing to do and we
are so thankful everyone has been
fantastic obviously we could only bring
a 15 kg hand luggage with us so just
basically a big bit of hand luggage so
this what I'm wearing right now is I've
I've been given it to me
because I only have so many clothes and
two weeks is a long time so they really
do they provided everything we need
towels and toiletries and just so many
things every room is a TV for
entertainment just so we don't go and
crazy but even then if you do feel
yourself getting a bit you know cabin
fever you can walk out you can go into
there's a little courtyard that the
building is shaped like a V so you can
go into the little courtyard just fresh
air or cigarette or whatever you want so
we're doing okay it's only day two or so
far it's been it's been fantastic I mean
everyone it's been fantastic I mean the
situation isn't fantastic but the way
everyone's dealing with it is has been
fantastic people really are keeping
themselves to themselves there you see
fairly
the same bunch I'd say maybe 20 in the
communal area throughout the day no
one's there all day everyone goes to
their rooms but it doesn't feel like
there's eighty-three of us you know you
see people come down to get food at
breakfast lunch and dinner and then they
just kind of take it away and you don't
see them again so people are being very
cautious some people are obviously I
play pool so we'll have not being as
cautious as I can be but you know you
just now that you have the option to see
other people in real life you kind of
want to take it but other people are
being more cautious than me whether
other people are just staying in their
rooms the entire time and that's
probably for the best you know that's
proper self isolation in quarantine so
hopefully they're grand and at the end
of the two weeks were all grand we can
all go out I was chatting yesterday
about how we feel to be here and in the
other videos I've always said I was in
two minds about coming I feel like we
made the correct decision but everyone
here has left something behind like I
said even if it's just a material thing
but like I was there for two years I
know other people have been there for
almost a decade or longer they have
families they have you know their entire
lives are there so it's weird it's the
weirdest thing is probably not knowing
when we can go back to our lives but I
think I can't speak for everyone but I
think we made the direct the correct
decision to get out when we did because
when we were on the plane the w-h-o
declared the public health emergency so
one of the questions people ask me is
are the health professionals here
worried about getting the virus if they
are worried they're not showing it at
all by the way I don't know if you can
hear that they're just cleaning the
the building that show do it there you
go just cleaning the outside would I be
able to put that back again that's not
I thought maybe earlier that's because
we're here but apparently that was just
scheduled anyway that was that's not
because of us apparently that was always
gonna happen but yeah someone asked me
how do the medical professionals how are
they feeling about being with us you
know the people who were in Wuhan and
they like I've said they have been
fantastic they have really been amazing
they don't nobody seems worried
obviously everyone's wearing a mask and
all the time so we're all doing the
right things to not spread it if any of
us are infected but it's only day two no
way to know how to put I think we'll be
okay hopefully yeah I think that's all I
have safe now okay yeah thanks very much
just one final thank you to everyone
who's been messaging me personally and
to all the comments on YouTube
everyone's just been so friendly and
another thank you to all the staff here
at arrow Park and the NHS and the cabin
crew just everyone there we've
encountered so many people in the last
three days and the there's no way we
thank you for what you've done but we
are so thankful thank you so much for
everything you've done for us we really
appreciate it and our time of need
people really stepped up and we're so
thankful so thank you for that
you
