One thing to note about Mary Mallon is that she was a asymptomatic carrier for Salmonella typhii. There’s is no way that she would be locked up in an asylum in this day.

There are places, like Sweden, where you, if you have a communicable disease which ticks all the boxes (mandatory testing on suspicion, mandatory contact tracing, danger to society, danger to public, and, of course, notifiable), you can get forced into care if you as an infected person behave in a way which seriously endangers others. Sort of like 5150, but for physical diseases.
