APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ISOLATION TO DIFFERENT DISEASES My 2023 chart was broadly correct, except that at that stage I believed in the value of isolation hospitals. The smallpox experience has shown me that isolation hospitals are never as secure as good quality home
Normally, home isolation is OK for covid/flu/measles but they must move into Isolation Hospitals once seriously sick. It is a bad idea to place serious covid/flu patients inside normal hospitals. We are talking about 30-40% of other patients catching the virus. THIS MUST STOP!

When quarantine for the plague started in the 1350s, it was often a combination of isolation and quarantine. Lazarettos combined both the sick and healthy. Homes that were blockaded included both the sick and healthy. The harm caused by quarantine was enormous and had to be

Since the LAW OF ISOLATION had never been specified in the past as a measuring instrument to validate any proposal for isolation, "public health" has caused great harm in the past through mindless and wasteful coercion. As McKeown noted, most isolation (e.g. for measles,
I just noticed this observation in McKeown's 1976 book. Although he doesn't discuss quarantine and isolation in detail in his book, this observation suggests that he would have rejected both isolation and quarantine as a way to reduce the spread of air-borne infectious diseases.

I’ve finished the 3k word long piece - a complete eye opener to me, and sent to TOI. The work I did on smallpox merely highlighted further to me the scientific bankruptcy of public health which promotes quarantine which has ZERO chance of success but downplays isolation as the
LAST CALL FOR COMMENTS ON THE SMALLPOX ISSUE I've now finished the pre-final draft. Fortunately, this will fit into three posts on my TOI blog (around 2800 words, which is nice) - earlier drafts were crossing 5,000 words). This piece now focuses entirely on isolation and

It is becoming clear that any study of quarantine must be framed in the context of this BIG PICTURE analysis of isolation. The textbook should be called "SCIENTIFIC ISOLATION vs. QUARANTINE QUACKERY" - with isolation taking the first part, and quarantine the second. The book
I'm going to add this to the PH textbok, to make sure that future PH "experts" don't jump into the "well" of lockdowns and focused protection based either on models (Neil Ferguson) or misplaced faith in PCR tests (GBD). I've alluded to this issue repeatedly, but ISOLATION EVEN

PUBLIC HEALTH IS DEFINITELY THE MOST COMPLEX FIELD IN THIS WORLD. There are layers and layers of complexity involved. I've updated the Venn to depict why diagnosis of covid/flu is hugely problematic. PCR tests have significant false positives and negatives. Also, patients

"People don’t know how to use them." SCIENCE THAT IS BLIND TO THIS ESSENTIAL CONSTRAINT IS QUACKERY. Let's be very clear - QUACKS RULE OUR WORLD.
No one agrees masks don’t work. People don’t know how to use them. Thats what the study found. Masks still work. It works because of physics. Not biology.

This IDIOCY of masks is what @RobertKennedyJr should be addressing via a constitutional amendment (along with prohibition of vaccine mandates and quarantine). But instead, he is all over the place - focusing on MINOR ISSUES and diet!
A local hospital has instituted a masking policy for everyone due to the prevalence of flu. Everyone was wearing surgical masks. I thought we all agreed they didn’t stop a virus? Anyway I just walked in and up to a patient’s room with no mask. Nobody stopped me which was nice.

This updated VENN DIAGRAM OF ISOLATION shows more clearly that SARS and Ebola are difficult to diagnose in the early stages, and also places a ✗ accordingly. This chart shows how challenging isolation is. AND YET ALL DOCTORS ON THIS PLANET (BUT ONE) SUPPORT QUARANTINE

This is the more accurate LAW OF ISOLATION. We notice that smallpox is pretty much the only disease in the world that is tailor made for isolation. SARS was hard to diagnose, so is Ebola in early stages. But these two are/were still suitable for isolation (particularly SARS)

I've revised this ISOLATION TABLE based on refinements to the LAW OF ISOLATION. It is now pretty close to a definitive document but as always, my work is open for comment and improvement. I've made a minor error in the Venn diagram chart, which I'll shortly fix.
I've updated to include the size of the virus but also the timing of excretion of virus (which is crucial to determine suitability for isolation). I might now be able to list a simple set of conditions which must be met for isolation.

And here's the same law in a flowchart format. I'll mention this law briefly in the smallpox article, as well. Smallpox is the only disease that ticks all boxes. No wonder isolation worked on it like a charm. ANYONE WHO PROMOTES QUARANTINE WITHOUT FIRST PROVING THAT ISOLATION
