What is it that makes us so passionate about quarantine? We've been doing it for thousands of years. I think it's because moving around, whether that's travel or even 'going to' work, IS now our culture. I don't think we see that. We move around looking for something we don't understand, and never arrive. Which is why we squeal like stuck pigs when movement is restricted. For a lot of the poorer parts of the world what we call 'lockdown' is their ordinary life.
