#Plague or #Pestilence?

The 1400s and 1500s were centuries of enormous change for Venice, and for the rest of the world. The changing geography moved Venice from a central position in European trade to the margins.

Conquest, empire, naval battles, conspiracies, insurrections. The 1200s and 1300s were interesting times for Venice.

I am loving the show The Decameron. It feels pretty much perfect. It's baudy and darkly hilarious. No, I haven't read the original. Medieval Italian literature isn't my forte. #TheDecameron #BlackPlague #plague #tv

@steven it is really a matter of time before the #American #farmers start to sell contaminated eggs to the general public. The farmers will refuse to cull chicken that are at risk or kept in a facility that experiencing an #outbreak.

Trump is already blaming #Biden for killing the chicken. Trump's admin will use this as an excuse to turn a blind eye to food safety.

Human form #avian flu will spread form USA.

1. this one should have been obvious to me, but spelling it out brought clarity: Europeans, for millennia, developed garments that were, generally, gender neutral. then, the #pandemic of the #plague of 1328 happened and things changed.

2. he goes a bit into the #etymology of the word MODA/MODE, but doesn’t explore it in English even though he quotes several English laws about dress. i reckoned that #fashion in english is top down, whereas #moda in Romance languages is bottom up, so…

In #plague news, bird flu is now going after the moo-birds and the meow-birds.

At least four cattle herds in Nevada have tested positive for a strain of H5N1 bird flu never before seen in cows, state agriculture officials confirmed Wednesday, and respiratory symptoms like coughing and sneezing have been reported.

That bird flu strain, called D1.1 by scientists, was also linked to a fatal human case in Louisiana last year after exposure to sick birds. The D1.1 strain has emerged in recent months to dominate infections in wild birds and poultry flocks across North America.

Symptoms seen in humans infected by D1.1 have been more severe than the previous bird flu strain that has been spreading in cows. That strain, called B3.13, has led to only mild symptoms, like pink eye and fever, in humans infected after contact with sick cows.

Research suggests that B3.13 is less likely to result in severe disease for humans, unlike other bird flu strains overseas. The risk is different for other animals, like pet cats, which have frequently died after exposure to food and milk contaminated with B3.13.

Every time a news outlet publishes a story about a measles patient, it attracts the cookers who deny that measles is that bad and that the news is "fear mongering." Sometimes they say that we all survived (of course the ones who didn't aren't here to say otherwise) and that it's not that bad.

What is this sillyness based on?
