1. I note that the "Plague and Pox Week" exhibit at Warwick Castle passed me by a few months back, unfortunately. It promised, "A light-hearted look at disease and death in the middle ages...putrid plague, pox and pestilence...oozing puss, scabby pox, crazy cures and yuck-making medicines". How could anyone have missed that...?
2. While I'm busy designing a high-tech vaccine with a concomitantly high budget, some entrepreneur is selling these nifty mediaeval plague protection masks (see below)for a very reasonable $150. As worn by all fashionable physicians in London, c1665. A pity it didn't do them much good.
Only thee days to go until the deadline: wish me luck...
