HONG KONG — A pandemic illness had struck Hong Kong, and the Worley family had gamely followed the rules. Now the three of them are stuck in a spartan government quarantine center for 10 days. “We’ve done everything that was asked of us,” said Kylie Davies-Worley, the mother, who is Australian. “We’ve complied with every regulation, we’ve stayed home when we needed to, yet we feel like we’ve been treated like second-class citizens. It’s not humane.”Hong Kong’s targeted approach to fighting the virus entails temporarily restricting the freedoms of a few for the benefit of the many.
