...language of epidemiology, the study and prevention of the spread of infectious diseases, is steeped in the metaphor of blockade. Doctors and scientists develop "barrier" nursing techniques and try to erect "ring fences" within society to corral a dangerous microbe, preventing it from jumping between people and countries.

Sure enough, she started to reclaim hours. "She'd rush home and put on that tacky uniform and go off to the little Golden Corral," says Cooper's mother in her most bemused Mississippi drawl.
