Gosh, what might have happened during that time?
Bafflement etc

How about we ventilate and filter indoor air of pathogens?

It's listening time.

At a minimum, please wear a mask in airports/on airplanes and in healthcare settings. That virtually no one does is depressing & distressing. #COVID

Considering the vast amount of evidence that Covid can cause serious long-term health problems, mitigating risk of infection is absolutely logical. This should be utterly uncontroversial. But alas, politics, tribalism, and a desire to conform trump logic for most people. Not me.

Amazing player! She still looks about 10 but plays with all the musicality of a 50 year old master. ✌️

Definitely a guy that spends a lot of time woodshedding! 👍

YouTube video by Jonathan Howard Makary says omicron is "omicold." Just under 1,000 kids would go to the hospital daily after this.

At its peak in January 2022, the Omicorn variant sent nearly 1000 kids to the hospital every day.

Here is our FDA director calling it “omicold” in December 2021 and lying about the rate of vaccine side effects.

OPUS SECTILE FLOOR, 385-388 CE. MUSEO DELLE CIVILTÀ This extraordinary opus sectile pavement only finds comparisons in the House of Cupid and Psyche in Ostia and in the Diocletianic opus sectile floor of the Curia Senatus, which has been heavily restored. Here we have a background of giallo antico and a complex pattern of polygonal shapes with three recurrent themes, the circle, the four-pointed star, and the strange pelta or C-shaped shield. At the centre of each four-pointed star is a circle of alternating porphyry and serpentino set inside a round frame, or a circle of those marbles inset with a square of giallo antico or brecciated white marble. Within the octagons created between the stars, on a background of pavonazzetto, are circles framed with porphyry, with four peltæ in serpentino. This is a sophisticated and expensive floor, and the room must have had a public or ceremonial function.

#MosaicMonday takes us back to the #MuseodelleCiviltà in #Rome, this time to look at the dazzling #opussectile floor of the #domus of #PortaMarina from #OstiaAntica, 385-388 CE. Its complex #geometric design makes it the most perfect floor of its kind in #LateAntiquity. #AncientBluesky 🏺
