This seems to be an appropriate blessing when donning a COVID-19 mask because one is protecting their own life as well as the lives of family members, friends, and all others.
My dear friend Fran Katz Sekela from Weequahic High sent this to me.
Fortunately, we really don't need our top executive to tell us to wear a mask. We just need to listen to voices of reason, to scientists, to on-the-line medical practitioners, and each to our own conscience.

It’s hard to imagine that behind this quite ordinary nondescript window in Paddington, west London, one of the most important discoveries in the history of mankind was made in 1928.
For it was in this very room that Sir Alexander Fleming FRS FRSE FRCS (1881-1955) discovered, nurtured and isolated the world's first antibiotic substance, which he named Penicillin G. For this, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain, and it’s probably true to say that every one of us has reasons to be grateful to this colossus of medicine.
The room I’ve arrowed is a laboratory in St Mary’s Hospital, Praed Street. It was here, at this teaching hospital, that Fleming not only conducted experiments, but as Professor of Bacteriology he also lectured future generations of doctors.
This is the plaque which commemorates the man who made of one of the most important discoveries in human history - Sir Alexander Fleming. It's located beneath the window of the lab in Paddington, west London, where he made his momentous discovery of penicillin.
I've writen a fuller description here.

This is the third image of a Brutalist building that I've posted, so I guess this is officially a series!
Check out the rest of my images of Brutalist Toronto
Brutalism is a style of architecture, popular from late 1950s to the early 1970s, which emphasized "heavy, monumental, stark concrete forms and raw surfaces" - Dictionary of Architecture and Construction
The book’s most chilling section involves the tragic results of thalidomide and diethylstilbestrol (DES), two drugs from the 1950s that were “given to pregnant women in the belief that the fetus would be unaffected.” Ms. Paul reveals six decades later: “It is evidence of the evolving state of our knowledge that the mechanisms by which these substances do their damage are not completely clear, even now.”

Abrasion cavities can be restored by dental fillings. Dental Air Abrasion procedure is a drill-less technique and is used to remove tooth decay. During air abrasion, a fine stream of particles of Aluminium is aimed at the decayed portion of the tooth. Small decay particles on the tooth surface are thus removed as the stream of particles strikes them.

Anne-Françoise Lof in her beautifully written book “Saskia or the mourning of a Distilbène baby” tells the sad story of her baby daughter born too early to survive at 22 weeks pregnancy. Anne-Françoise knew her mum had been prescribed Distilbène® during pregnancy, she warned her doctor. Yet, the high risk of premature labor was dismissed. The story of not only Saskia but many other premature babies shows the tragic consequences of some doctors’ misinformation and dismissive attitude towards diethylstilbestrol.

It is still not known how many people are DES exposed worldwide. Many people remain unaware of their exposure and the potential adverse health effects of diethylstilbestrol. Many don’t make the link between DES exposure and the health problems they are facing and sometimes even doctors don’t make that link either.
Anyone born or pregnant in the US between 1938 and 1971, and until the mid-’80s in some European countries (until 1977 in France), may have been exposed. In the United States alone an estimated 5 -10 million people were exposed to Diethylstilbestrol, including women who were prescribed DES while pregnant, and the children born of those pregnancies.
On a pro rata basis with research done in the Netherlands and in America, the total number of people exposed to Diethylstilboestrol in the UK may be as high as 300,000. An estimated 200,000 French mothers have been prescribed DES and have given birth to 160,000 DES exposed daughters and sons. For Australia, an estimated 740,000 individuals have been DES exposed. DES has been and still is a well kept secret, a taboo subject not only in families but within the medical community too.

Dental X-rays are pictures of the teeth, bones, and soft tissues around them to help find problems with the teeth, mouth, and jaw. X-ray pictures can show cavities, hidden dental structures (such as wisdom teeth), malignant or benign masses, and bone loss that cannot be seen during a visual examination.

The support group Réseau DES France was established in 1994. Their first DES public education campaign was launched in 1997 with the brochure “DES Distilbène® Exposure, the questions you ask yourself” aimed at raising DES awareness amongst the general public. Since 1994 Réseau DES France has engaged in many areas (information, cooperation, advocacy and lobbying, and DES lawsuits to name just a few). They’ve achieved many results and successes such a the right to longer maternity leave for DES pregnancies.

A recent study conducted by Marie-Odile Gobillard-Soyer, former director at the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) and researcher in molecular biology, reveals a link between DES and mental illness issues. In January 2011, members of the association Hhorages, of which Marie-Odile is the President, were received by the AFFSSAPS (the equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S.) to discuss her findings. Further to this meeting, a working group of experts from the AFFSSAPS and Hhorages has been established and will start cooperation in April.
