“Typhoid Mary” was eventually jailed, not sure but I seem to recall it was for the rest of her life. She was a carrier but never developed the disease, she just gave it to others. Strange.
I think it was in New York City around the turn of the century?
I think she lived on a small island off the Bronx?
Yup. She served food to people and killed them with typhoid. She had been quarantined but lawyers and public sympathy got her out of confinement.
She had agreed to “self quarantine” and not sell or serve food to people. She was caught breaking her quarantine, knowing she would be killing people. People were pissed. Locked up the rest of her life.
This nurse seems to have a similar attitude.
