How do we know the drunk town blokes weren't banging associating with Typhoid Mary, or Typhoon Marianne
up the street in the Red Light Zone, and bringing home issues? 
I can see you did not bother reading the article. Look for which families she worked for, Mr. SmartAss.
Before you begin popping insults, Where is YOUR googled link to the particular 'article' that's convinced you that the lady was a carrier?
FYI 100 years ago most people were idiots and believed ANYTHING reported to them. The F wits even went to war to shoot projectiles at people they never met much less knew their language to figure both good and evil sides got rolled.
Still happening as we type, but the advanced idiots today, with limitless verification resources, still believe in aliens, UFOs, communication with dead people, flat vs round earth, life on Mars etc etc
and hoarding dunny paper at the first hint of a suss flu or mutating Bali Belly
If you will be for 14 days in quarantine, you will still be allowed to go out to get food, period. The same as going to a doctor or a pharmacy.
Here we have self-quarantine for symptom-less people positive to covid-19 test. Those can't get out of home unless they need to be hospitalized or until they get rid of the virus (test confirmed). They risk up to 12 years of jail if they get out and expose other people to contagion.
They should praise the God for such short time inconvenience. Typhoid Mary (google her up, it is a fascinnating story happened 100 years back) spent in a forced quarantine ALMOST 30 YEARS ! She was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid bacteria and was in a perfect health while killing people around her.
Curiously, she died from pneumonia.
MORE contadicting Wiki wanking:
"Mallon spent the rest of her life in quarantine at the Riverside Hospital. Six years before her death, she was paralyzed by a stroke. On November 11, 1938, she died of pneumonia at age 69.[1]
A post-mortem found evidence of live typhoid bacteria in her gallbladder.[17]
Other researchers have cited George Soper who wrote, "There was no autopsy" to assert a conspiracy to calm public opinion after her death.[18] Mallon's body was cremated, and her ashes were buried at Saint Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx.[19]
i.e. You can't believe 'stories' reported/scripted up 100 years ago, that conflict and change like Melbourne weather
and who knows what kind of poisoning skullduggery was going on back then amongst those 'families' in suss New York of all places
Due to too much conflicting BS, I believe Mary got an undeserved bad rap for something smelly that was going on
