The abstract from "Law in the Time of Cholera" leads me to believe that the paper holds a good deal of relevance for the U.S. today, in an age in which government agencies are planning for the possibility of large-scale epidemics of infectious disease either natural or man-made. The possibility of quarantines in the United States today remains real, and this paper makes me want to learn more about the law surrounding quarantines as well as the effectiveness of past quarantines in preventing the spread of infectious disease.
