Shan I believe Chichi is talking about the willingness of people who fear the unknown who would gladly allow what has always happened... to just keep on happening.
When folks don't understand something new and scary they try to isolate it from everything else that they already know.... hence why when the AIDs epidemic first hit the "spot light" and was linked with the gay community... people tried to explain it away as a gay disease that could almost be controlled and prevented from spreading, providing we didn't allow the gays to spread it.... that was the mentality for a lot of people back then... and sadly still is for some people today.
Hence the desire to "segregate" or isolate infected individuals, no different than man's previous reactions to "break outs" (see any kinda disease outbreak in history).
