An Australian woman tried to play victim on a morning television programme after testing positive for COVID-19 in Fiji…

… Twitter wasn’t having it.

After the interview was posted online, Fijians and Australians alike accused the woman of being a “Karen” (meaning a privileged white woman). And of “leaving her brain in Australia” en route to Fiji.

Most users pointed out the obvious: that the woman should have expected the possibility of getting COVID while traveling in a pandemic…

Some Twitter users praised Fijian officials for acting quickly to isolate the woman and limit the spread of the virus.

Well done to the staff of this hotel and the health workers doing their jobs 👏🏽 👏🏽 thank you for highlighting the importance of testing all those that travel in and why isolating them is needed to maintain public health safety.

Should’ve just drank your Fijian water at home https://t.co/Lih5LqB18k

Many users also pointed out that the woman almost certainly contracted the virus in Australia and was stopped from spreading it further among the Fijian community.

Moral of the story, if you travel during the pandemic, be prepared to test positive. And when you do, expect to placed in quarantine!
