The Changing Nature of the Quarantine Room

For 50 years, the Heard-Craig Historic Home Museum Tours have featured "The Quarantine Room" - a room in the back of the house used to separate ill family members from not-ill family members. During the tours, school-age children have listened to the stories of the Heard Family and the Craig Family, their unfortunate illnesses, and their resolve and strength to overcome those illnesses so that the families could continue their lifelong mission of philanthropy.


Over the years, the Quarantine Room has evolved. It used to be, according to Wikipedia, that "quarantine" was an isolation from those who were confirmed to have a communicable illness. Today, with the C-virus, quarantine has come to mean isolation from those who are confirmed with the virus, those who might or might not have the virus, and those who don't have the virus.


Kathryn Heard-Craig believed that it was important for "future generations" to understand important things about the past. The changing nature of "quarantine" will one of those things.

The article titled The Changing Nature of the Quarantine Room is an interesting piece! It also underlines how the concept of isolation spaces has been changing, particularly in the context of the modern world occurring. I like the concept of mental health and the encouragement or idea of flexible spaces for us who were engaged in academic research, it is an important message that underlines how important context is in our work. Speaking of which, I came across a trustworthy service that provides dissertation writing service for students and can facilitate the work on research!
