Isolation and social distancing. Back in the time when the scourge that was raving was the ongoing problem of Tuberculosis, the remedy for its treatment was isolation and social distancing. As one of many who survived the onslaught of TB, in the early 1960's, was to be quarantined in a TB ward safe from infecting others from the disease. I was in a ward with twenty others who shared the same disorder, earlier called the wasting, People complain about the length of time spent in isolation and how inconvenient it is. If they believe three months is a long time; they should try one whole year. This one year of isolation was mandatory for all TB patients.
Many of those who are against the Stay at home order whine, "Do you have to disrupt my mundane existence with fact. I don't care if I spread the plague to others, who in turn may die, I don't care. Especially, if those who die are the elderly. They are old anyway."
