In November 1918, at the beginning of the influenza epidemic in November 1918, one of the newspapers here recommended putting a drop of kerosene or bicholoride of mercury on one’s mask!

I sit here in Melbourne where cinemas have not really been open since mid-March this year (there was a 2 week window) and I need solace. I am up to my eyeballs in digital fare, it’s just so unsatisfying.

Your piece offers just a little hope and solace. So thanks. And ditto all above – the quality and volume of the research here is off the dial.

Cheers

I was AMAZED at how much work you put into it. But that’s YOU. Sharing it on FB.

The conclusion reckons that the poor were worst affected. Just like in 2020…

Please consider those of us in the +10.00 (and indeed other) timezones when you plan for the online edition of Le Giornate!

This was very informative and entertaining. Thank you, Jay, and think how happy we all will be to return to Pordenone in 2021…..

Wonderful post. I’m now going to get my own cat a mask like the one in your photo.
