“On February 3rd 2020, Josh and I were evactuated from Wuhan by the Australian Goverment. At that moment in time, Wuhan was the epicenter of the Novel Coronavirus, with the number of infections increasing by thousands each day...
Taking no risks to the safety of the Australian population, the goverment decided that everyone who chose to be a part of the evactuation, would be sent to Christmas Island; where we would all spend 14 days quarantine inside the repurposed Immigration Detention Centre.
With this appearing to be the safest option at the time, Josh and I decided to send it... here's what went down!
**Applogies in advance for their not being much blading in this video! Promise there's more blading content on the way! For those of you who want to skip straight to us skating go to 16:00 on the video.
As always, we did out best to stay positive and make the most out of a sticky situation. Don't take this video too seriously, it only shows brief moments of the brighter times during our evacuation & quarantine period. In reality, we knew this was a very serious situation, and made the decision to skate only when it was safe to do so.
Almost two months have past since evacuating Wuhan, and I could have never imagined the world being as it is now. I hope you're all safe at home, with your loved ones close... and I hope that being "locked down" isn't making y'all go crazy just yet.
Stay safe, stay home, and only go out when neccessary (being active is 100% essential for our mental health during these times). Together, we will overcome these dark days for some brighter ones
