Today's daf starts with a Misha that again is concerned with the laws of niddah, a zava, and the presumptive status of ritual purity. A niddah bleeds either once or many times over a seven day period followed by immersion and ritual purity. The following eleven days are called yemei ziva, where any bleeding at that time will render her a zava.
If a woman is in hiding and does not check herself, she is considered to be ritually pure for fear is said to inhibit menstrual bleeding. Rabbi Meir states this without any opposition or debate, but the commentaries do not accept this ruling and so the Sages may have disagreed with him.
