Cordons, common in the medieval era of the Black Death, have not been seen since the border between Poland and Russia was closed in 1918 to stop typhus from spreading west. They have the potential to become brutal and inhumane.

It's unfortunate, but sometimes that is necessary in order to save a much larger number of people. Just like amputation of a man's limb to save his life.

Not surprisingly, in full blown epidemics the groups who take the biggest hit from the disease include:

1) The sick with other problems, the mentally ill, and the poor.

2) Those who minister to the sick and dispose the dead.

3) Those who smuggle and those who break quarantine going in to the quarantined area.

4) Those who attend religious gatherings hoping to pray the disease away.

5) The unlucky.
