Her name was Mary Mallon and she was a rich man’s cook in the early 20th century.  

Trouble was that she was an asymptomatic carrier of Typhoid Fever.

She denied being “sick” all her life, but she was caught up in the conflict between public health and individual rights. She ended up living out her life in isolation.  

Some of us may be asymptomatic carriers of Covid19 who refuse to wear a mask and take other precautions in public.  

Don’t be a Typhoid Mary, sublimate your individual rights impulse for the greater good!
