I'd never heard of this sort of thing happening before. Poor Mary. Really isn't very fair though that she was so singled out.

Well she was a sort of trailblazer - being the first healthy carrier to be identified - ever.smiley - bigeyes

I guess they just didn't know what to do with her in the first instance and they learned there lessons from her - it was a different time then and I wouldn't hold it against them now.smiley - winkeye

Definately sounds better than living her live in a hospital ward. But still...I hope she didn't resent the authorities for it.
