A word which is being used frequently in the last few weeks is 'Quarantine'. Historically, it signified a period of 40 days of isolation imposed upon ships, persons or animals, on arrival at a port or place, when suspected of carrying some infectious or contagious disease. But now we don't necessarily attribute a 40 day period to the word. It essentially means a strict exclusion, detention or isolation to prevent the spread of a contagious disease. Today about 1.5 billion people worldwide are in quarantine. Let's all pray it ends soon and things are bright and beautiful again. Be positive and take good care.
