Typhoid Mary is one of those ominous figures of the early 1900s, often seen as this devious woman almost purposefully infecting others in NYC. But Mary Mallon's story is more than just that. In the era of COVID, Typhoid Mary's story seems even more relevant. The question is...how does her public image compare to the reality? Is she the villain everyone makes her out to be?
