Contudo, embora uma quarentena temporária seja essencial para deter esses surtos de doença, o isolacionismo prolongado entre as nações conduzirá ao colapso econômico sem oferecer qualquer proteção real contra doenças infecciosas. Muito pelo contrário. O verdadeiro antídoto para epidemias não é a segregação, mas a cooperação
