Question: What was the real name of Typhoid Mary?
Answer: Mary Mallon. Who didn’t realize the importance of self-isolation, and therefore had to have it forced on her. An example of history repeating itself, and although most places have not – as yet – got to the point of taking quite the same drastic measure as were imposed on that unfortunate woman, they could be coming if the social distancing hold-outs don’t start complying. Something to discuss with your kids.
