I’ve practiced at the ICU bedside in WA, AZ and OH since Mar 2020, going with teams of skilled providers to areas of need.

Each time, we see the same story play out: lungs on the R ⬇️that could be saved by 2-doses of a vaccine.

The most important facts for you to remember today:

Less than 0.001% of those fully vaccinated have had a fatal breakthrough case.

Less than 0.004% of those fully vaccinated have been hospitalIzed.

The vaccines work.

The vaccines are your best protection from the virus.

A lovely find to start the day on the Vindolanda excavations. A painted piece of mortaria. #Vindolanda

@GrecianGirly These pottery stoves are unearthed in Canton(near Hong Kong), Eastern Han Empire, 1-3 Cent. AD. The unique design of “side jars”, different from the pottery stoves unearthed in the other regions of East Asia, is likely to be inspired by the Mediterranean via the Sea Silk Route.

A 1666 plague stone - it was put on a corner of a street, filled with vinegar and used to wash hands/money. The 1600s version of a sanitising station.
Plague Stones are found across England, usually in the form of hollowed-out stones or boulders.

Ever wondered how long plastic bottles last in the marine environment? This is a Super Doby washing up bottle, thought to date from 1955 to 1959, so over 60 years old. Found during a beach clean. Still intact, if a little buckled!

Glossy red samian ware pottery excavated from a fort ditch at Roman Vindolanda. Imported from southern Gaul to Vindolanda on the northernmost frontier of the empire, c. AD 80, it was damaged in transit and thrown unused into the fort ditch.

You’ve seen illuminated manuscripts. But what about… illuminated biscuits? 🤔 #MedievalTwitter

In my book it’s pretty simple. If you work hard to PREVENT people from voting, you pretty much admit your ideas aren’t popular and you fear the verdict of the people.
