During medieval history patients of infectious diseases were treated with sheer

force and brutality. They were forcefully quarantined and isolated in their homes
with their homes sealed and with no transportation to hospital or any medical
treatment. Even passengers from other areas were forcefully quarantined in remote
areas where they remained on their own without any hope from outside world.
