Mary Mallon, the woman who suffered the longest quarantine in history. José Emilio y Matias Bauso

Oyster Bay was a luxurious vacation spot. He was chosen by several of New York's wealthiest inhabitants to spend the summer season (the vacation didn't last just a month). Those who did not own, rented mansions and led a battalion of service employees: maids, butlers, gardeners, cooks (the genres of each profession were not interchangeable: it took more than a century for deconstruction). At the end of August 1907, in that exclusive site on Long Island, a news story produced a shock that, in addition to health, endangered the economic scaffolding of several. A 7-year-old girl, the youngest daughter of the Warren family, was diagnosed with typhoid fever. It took less than a week for five other patients to come, all from the same house. Two domestic workers, a gardener, a sister of the first infected and Mrs. Warren, the mother. Clear symptoms made everyone have the same diagnosis.This sudden outbreak caught the attention of several because it was the first time in history that there had been cases of typhoid fever in Oyster Bay. An unprecedented situation. This was due to the fact that it was a summer area for characters with a great economic outlay and this disease was considered to only attack the poor, people who lived in places where hygiene and food were deficient. The situation worried Mr. Warren. But not only for the health of his family but because he was a renowned banker, the president of Lincoln Bank, and in his circle (one of his rest neighbors was President Theodore Roosevelt) suffering from that type of pathology was a demerit. An almost accusatory contagion: what would the Warrens have done to deserve that, to deserve the scorn of a "disease of the poor"?However, the person most affected by this situation was George Thompson, the owner of the mansion where the Warrens were infected. Thompson had four other houses in the area. His income came exclusively from renting them. If you did not have tenants, it was even difficult to maintain them due to the expenses they incurred. The situation had to be resolved, Thompson thought. But he did not mean that the sick were healed. He needed to know the origin, which caused the infections. Otherwise, your property would depreciate in record time and no one would rent the lavish home to you anymore. This pioneer accepted the professional challenge and moved to Long Island. He believed it would be money earned honestly but easily. The answer, he was convinced, would be found in everyday household products, in drinking water, in the bathrooms. But after investigating cupboards, sewers, all the bathrooms in the house and blind wells, nothing strange appeared. Soper persisted. He questioned the sick. He asked them what they had eaten the previous days, where they had been, if they had altered any custom. That there were infections from the family and from the service personnel baffled him. They did not share many things with each other: they were two isolated worlds. At some point it was even suggested that it was not typhoid fever. But the poor analyzes and symptoms were unequivocal: high fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, tiredness, bloating of the abdomen, perspiration, rash, rashes. The disease is caused by the bacteria Salmonella Typhi.George Soper was a scientist. He did not have the detective aspect suggested by his later actions. He was skinny, with glasses, an impassive face almost bored, a neutral expression and a mustache framing his upper lip. He became obsessed with the case. There had to be some explanation and he was going to find it. Although it was not easy to do.In the midst of his on-site investigations, someone brought him what seemed like the solution to the problem. On the beach a large woman made a living selling fish and seafood. There must be the problem. Those products must have caused the unprecedented outbreak. But once again, the result was negative: their clients numbered hundreds and only the Warrens had fallen ill.Once he eliminated the poor fisherwoman, the contaminated milk, the possibility that the water had fecal material or that there had been a sick visitor in the mansion or in the town, Soper focused on the period between 10 and 15 days prior to the first manifestation of typhoid fever because that is the incubation time.Once again he reviewed each of the elements and circumstances. He had to find the discordant element in that period. Until he discovered a fact that had been overlooked at the first opportunity. A cook who worked in the house at that time, who had entered a couple of days before and who had resigned shortly after the massive contagion. more info in: https://www.infobae.com/historias/2020/03/19/mary-mallon-la-mujer-que-padecio-la-cuarentena-mas-larga-de-la-historia-por-propagar-una-epidemia/
