Figure 3 Distribution of length of stay in the lazzaretto: Carmagnola 1630–31

Notes: This figure shows the distribution of length of stay of patients who: (a) died; and (b) survived and were discharged from the lazzaretto. The bin width is five days. For ease of visualization, we exclude the small fraction of cases who stayed in the lazzaretto for more than 100 days (2.4 per cent of patients); these are, however, included in all the subsequent analyses.
