I thought Typhoid Mary brought a light onto the spreading of diseases and its severity. Mary didn’t know about her disease and ended up infecting other people. I found this interesting because of how the authorities handled the situation. They basically banned her from walking the streets, interacting with people and they tried to stop\u00a0her from making a living off of cooking because she was too dangerous to be around. I thought looking at this was refreshing to learn about. Today we have the technology and resources to try and contain and treat this disease. Back then they didn’t. The best they could do was restrain her from social interactions. Just like derekjahwu I was conflicted, “At first it was: why is she able to continue to work in the food industry with this disease, then it was: how could they isolate her from living her life?” Overall reading about Mary was really interesting. I gave me the chance to look at how authorities dealt with diseases back when they didn’t have the resources we have today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
