143 - Typhoid Mary
from Don't Look Now Hosted by Jeni McDonald and Will Hageman
Mary Mallon was an Irish born cook in early 20th century New York. She was the first know case of a healthy, non-symptomatic carrier of Typhoid in the United States and has since become known far and wide as Typhoid Mary. What hides behind the trope is a story that begs the question of just how much authority should public health officials have when it comes to forcible quarantine and detention. A topic very timely in today's pandemic backdrop.
