Amidst the modern-day chaos of quarantine life, we're all playing our part in protecting public health. But let's take a moment to reflect on the history of isolation, from the Plague Doctor's masked crusade against the 14th century Black Death, to the Leper Houses of the Middle Ages as depicted in Science and Literature in the Middle Ages by Paul Lacroix. Fast forward to the 16th century, and England's strict plague quarantines were enforced with military precision. Even space exploration in the late 1960s aboard the USS Hornet required a quarantine for the Apollo astronauts returning from the moon. And let's not forget France's Boulogne, a notorious quarantine station for ships during the 18th century. So, as we navigate this new normal, let's remember the rich history of isolation and the importance of protecting each other's health.
