The COVID-19 global health crisis has spatial implications concerning social isolation to control the spread of the virus. The preventive measures require travelers to stay in mandatory quarantine for 14 days upon arrival from another country. Due to a shortage of government facilities, more hotels have started to function as quarantine facilities. This research focuses on quarantine hotels in Australia, as one of the first countries to implement an international border restriction, to evaluate the spatial needs of users and what see outcomes can be identified. By primarily focusing on hotel users' well-being during the isolation period, this paper responds to an information gap regarding the quarantine hotel system by providing user opinions on the negative and positive factors affecting their well-being. A survey with multiple-choice and open-ended questionnaire items was conducted with 54 participants to investigate their experiences in quarantine hotels. Among the nine key sources of well-being, the three highest-scored responses were an operable window (4.7), ventilation (4.5), and natural lighting (4.3). Access to the outdoor environment via a balcony or operable window was an acute and fundamental requirement for guests. Additionally, participants mentioned that they are unwilling to return to the hotel where they spent their quarantine, which raises issues regarding the future of hotels.

Argues that forcibly quarantining contagious individuals who disobey public health officials exemplifies the government's control over Americans. Officials from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention & the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) favor stronger laws that allow individuals to be quarantined against their will in the event of bioterrorism or a pandemic. An overview of the history of quarantines reveals considerable abuse that is often extended to families, friends, & neighbors, regardless of their health. The effectiveness of quarantine as a preventive measure is addressed. Consideration is given to where to draw the line when granting government the power to police contagious people. The "butchery of freedom" carried out by airport surveillance personnel from the DHS & the Transportation Security Administration is pointed out, along with frightening aspects of the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act which is being promoted as a legislative prototype for states to adopt. The sweeping powers being claimed in the name of protecting the public's health are described as just another excuse to limit personal autonomy. References. J. Lindroth

Western Civilization primary source reflection. In late February, my classmates were sitting in the back of our AP Government class when our teacher gave us international news updates. He mentioned some 'Chinese virus' named Coronavirus that was causing China to go into a nationwide lockdown. We found it more interesting that a virus was named after a beer instead of the actual occurrences.

Many problems of international law have arisen in connection with United States-Cuban relations since the establishment of the Castro regime in 1959, especially in regard to the following incidents:1. Castro's confiscation of American property in Cuba in 1960, said to be in reprisal against the United States reduction of the Cuban sugar quota, was asserted by an American court to have been a breach of international law, and, following controversy over the number of persons in the U. S. Embassy in Havana, the United States broke diplomatic relations on January 3, 1962.

In this essay, I describe two logics of space that are operative in responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantine partitioning is unavoidable and widespread. As a mode of governing, it presents a logic of space understood through its divisibility, making this logic seem like a given. Using the topological concept of a sphere eversion, I describe an alternative way of understanding spaces of quarantine as surroundings that we are exposed to or in contact with. I locate this alternative logic of space within already existing practices and concerns around public spaces newly invested with the possibility of exposure to and exposing others.
