"Be wary of China's coronavirus quarantine"
"Having spent my medical and academic career studying these issues, I am astounded by what is already the single largest quarantine in recorded history. As a physician, I cannot yet give a prognosis of how all this will work out. But as a historian of quarantines and epidemics - one who has read, seen or written similar sad stories too many times - I am not terribly optimistic it will turn out well."
"Markel is the George E. Wantz distinguished professor of the history of medicine, a professor of pediatrics and communicable diseases, and the director of the Center for the History of Medicine at the University of Michigan. He is the author of "Quarantine!" and "When Germs Travel."
