The word quarantine comes from quarantena, meaning “forty days”, used in 14th-15th-century Venetian language and designating the period that all ships were required to be isolated before passengers and crew could go ashore during the Black Death plague epidemic; it followed the trentino, or thirty-day isolation period, first imposed in 1377 in Venetian-dominated Ragusa.[4][5][6][7] For more, see the medieval history paragraph.

My phone “spell checker” won’t let me say “kung flu”, wahun red death, CCP boomer remover, the commi contagion, the chicom plague.
It automatically changes spelling, inexplicable.
