Excerpt from The Value of Isolation in Controlling the Spread of Pneumonia: December 1921 In the effort to prevent the spread of contagious diseases man always has, and probably always will resort to some method of separating the sick from the well. Whatever term be applied to the measure, whether it be quarantine, isolation or segregation, the effect is much the same, the term used signifying to a great extent the degree of enforcement. As a matter of fact the word isolation has become a general term in Preventive Medicine to cover any process which prevents the unnecessary association of healthy and sick individuals. In reality it is a modified quarantine, applied to one or a few persons. The word "Quarantine" is derived from the Italian "quarante" meaning forty, and was first used in connection with holding supposedly infected vessels in port for forty days, before allowing discharge of passengers or cargo. This measure was applied during the 14th Century, and represents one of the first systematic efforts used against the spread of contagious disease. Quarantine carries with it a more or less rigid governmental enforcement, and being therefore somewhat of a drastic measure it became more closely associated with the severer infections, while the methods used against the milder diseases were modified in proportion as the danger of the contagion diminished.
