No, not the current one. “After the second wave of the Black Death swept through Europe in the 17th century, the survivors burned the bodies, thanked god, and built monumental tributes to their deliverance.” This particular column was erected in Vienna, Austria. “Vienna in 1679 was the perfect place for an epidemic outbreak. The combination of a densely packed population, poor sanitary conditions, and travelers arriving regularly in the city from parts unknown makes the arrival of the plague somewhat unsurprising, but the toll was tremendous. As many as 75,000 people perished and were burned in plague pits in the outskirts of the city, while the imperial family skipped town.
When it was all over, Emperor Leopold I rolled back into town, took some money from the royal coffers and had this monumental celebration of life over death erected - including a not terribly subtle effigy of His Imperial Highness praying for the deliverance of the city.” This plague column was one of several that I saw, but was certainly the grandest and most lavish one. Did we really think another plague would never come? Even with all the medical knowledge and science of today, it seems that we may have taken a step back in time by ignoring the information and lessons of history….
Now the corona epidemic, but has become no longer be able to cherry-blossom viewing, I enjoy to just at least in the SL 😊🌸

When I took this photo of a juvenile Moorhen at the Grandlieu Lake, I was unaware that a botulism epidemic had already been underway since the end of June.
Currently, thousands of waterbirds have died in Loire-Atlantique (France) , both at Grandlieu Lake and in the Brière Marshes.
Dead birds are being collected daily and those which can be saved are taken by care centers.
The situation is very critical especially since the migratory birds will be arriving in a few weeks.
This epidemic is due to low water levels combined with recent high temperatures, which are favoring the development of the bacteria.
The low levels are due to the weather but also to human activity. The levels are lowered voluntarily by farmers so the cattle can graze there. There is a whole system of locks and the water flows into the Atlantic Ocean. There are conflicts of use between farmers, fishermen and hunters with a regulation that is no longer adapted to increasingly dry years.
◇◇◇
Lorsque j'ai pris cette photo d'une Gallinule juvénile au Lac de Grandlieu, j'ignorais qu'une épidémie de botulisme était déjà installée depuis la fin du mois de juin.
A l'heure actuelle, des milliers d'oiseaux sont morts en Loire-Atlantique, tant au Lac de Grandlieu que dans les Marais de Brière. Des ramassages d'oiseaux morts ont lieu quotidiennement et ceux qui peuvent être sauvés sont pris en charge par des centres de soin.
La situation est extrêmement critique d'autant que les migrateurs vont arriver dans quelques semaines.
Cette épidémie est dûe à des niveaux d'eau trop bas associés aux récentes fortes chaleurs qui favorisent le développement de la bactérie.
Les niveaux d'eaux extrêmement bas sont dûs à la météo mais aussi à l'activité humaine car ils sont volontairement descendus par les agriculteurs pour pouvoir y faire paître le bétail. L'eau est directement envoyée dans la mer. Il y a des conflits d'usage avec un règlement qui n'est plus adapté aux années de plus en plus sèches.
Je remercie Thierry de m'avoir informée de cette épidémie et aussi pour avoir aidé en tant que bénévole au ramassage des oiseaux morts : www.flickr.com/photos/25295081@N05/54666296386/in/datepos...

Der Cholera-Brunnen (auch Gutschmid-Brunnen) ist ein neugotischer Brunnen in Dresden vor dem Glockenspielpavillon des Zwingers in der Sophienstraße. Der Brunnen wurde von Baron Eugen von Gutschmid aus Dankbarkeit dafür finanziert, dass Dresden von der Cholera-Epidemie (1841/1842), die an Oder und Unterelbe ausgebrochen war und auch Dresden bedroht hatte, verschont blieb.

The Cholera Fountain (also Gutschmid Fountain) is a neo-Gothic fountain in Dresden in front of the carillon pavilion of the Zwinger on Sophienstrasse. The fountain was financed by Baron Eugen von Gutschmid out of gratitude that Dresden was spared from the cholera epidemic (1841/1842) that broke out on the Oder and Lower Elbe and also threatened Dresden.

Thukydides described the 'plague' (possibly Typhus) in Athens in 429 B.C. This was a terrible epidemic killing up to 100 000 people in Athens alone, a quarter of the population. There was also a war going on. Did this epidemic lead the Athenians to a re-appreciation of life? I doubt it. As soon they had recovered they wasted men and money on invading Syracuse (which also went disastrously wrong). Will we become new and enlightened human beings when this pandemic is over? What do you think?
In the year, 1518 a woman named Frau Troffea
Started dancing in Strasbourg
and couldn't stop.
An epidemic of joy
The craze spread
The uncontrollable desire to move
Neighbors and passing witnesses
Were infected like a fire
Could not stand still
An unbearable sensation until all the limbs flailed and
The doctors and police wailed.
It had to be illness...or sin....
Something outside of the body
Now within
And then, the dancing was banned
A woman's body just had to be controlled
Even then.
Time and space is an illusion.

On 29 March, it was rumoured that the PCR screening results in Pudong, Shanghai were so horrific that Puxi would be locked down earlier than the original date of 1 April. This caused a rush to buy.

She noticed that I was photographing her and pulled up her mask. For most of us, wearing a mask is an acting act, a disguise and, most of the time, a complete waste in terms of epidemic prevention.

Fourviere Hill
Lyon
France
The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière was built with private funds between 1872 and 1896 in a dominant position overlooking the city. The site it occupies was once the forum of the Roman emperor Trajan.
Fourvière is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to whom is attributed the salvation of the city of Lyon from the bubonic plague that swept Europe in 1643. Each year on December 8, day of the Immaculate Conception, Lyon thanks the Virgin for saving the city by lighting candles throughout the city, in what is called the Fête des Lumières or the Festival of Lights. The Virgin is also credited with saving the city a number of other times, such as from a Cholera epidemic in 1832, and from Prussian invasion in 1870.

The "QR code for the place" on the wall outside the window is a new-born relic of the past, after six months of monitoring the lives of the residents, as China has completely abandoned its anti-epidemic restrictions.
Theoretically, each customer was supposed to scan the "QR code for the place" with his/her smartphone, which then displayed a so-called "health QR code": if it was green, it meant there is no problem, if it was yellow, the customer would be refused and, if it was red, everyone, whether the customer with the red QR code or the shop assistants who were present, would be arrested and taken to a concentration camp for quarantine.
La isla
En el año 1834 la isla servía como refugio a varias familias de Benidorm y Villajoyosa, huidas de sus poblaciones ante una epidemia de cólera. Siglos antes, los piratas la utilizaban como base para sus ataques a poblaciones costeras.

La isla siempre ha tenido una gran riqueza piscícola y un fondo submarino muy codiciado por buceadores y submarinistas. La explotación de sus aguas siempre estuvo reservada a Benidorm hasta el año 1506, cuando el Rey Fernando hizo extensivo este privilegio también al pueblo de Villajoyosa.

In the night of March 27th, an announcement was made by the Shanghai government to close Pudong and Puxi in succession.
At midnight that night, Pudong went into lockdown first. On the following day, the residents in Puxi rushed to buy vegetables, meat and fish, and food prices soared.
At the time, however, people like the ones in this photo mostly thought the food rush had nothing to do with them. Now, many of ones like them are scared out of their wits by the harsh and barbaric govermental measures and are making plans to flee this desperate country.

On the afternoon of 31 March, with a few hours to go, all residents would be banned from going outside. Despite the overcast sky and the prospect of a downpour, this old man was seriously trying to dry his sheets and clothes, perhaps to enjoy the last moments of outdoor activity.
The Vectron epidemic has unfortunately also gripped countries like the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Leased locomotives are displacing the charming old locomotives at the state-owned companies České drahy and Žeľezničná spoločnosť Slovensko. On September 25, 2025, Vectrons from both railway companies meet each other at Praha Hlavní Nádraží station. Czech 193 577 is neatly in its company colors, while Slovak 193 131, like so many other Vectrons, is dressed in a guise with unclear intentions. The latter locomotive is ready to depart for Púchov with EC127.

By then, certain residential compounds had been locked down, rumours had begun to spread and the flow of people on the street had decreased significantly, though most residents remained unaffected.

A photo I took this year in the summer. Taken in The Black Country Museum. An industrial Revolution classroom. She was teaching about epidemics, relevant then and now. As of lunchtime today I, my good lady wife and daughter have become a number in the epidemics song book, all testing positive. One day in the future classrooms will be talking about this like all the other moments in history. It will pass, people will grieve, survive and remember and the World will spin on. A New Year awaits 2021.
The diphtheria epidemics of 1883 and 1897-1898 and cholera in 1894 during the early settlement years took the lives of many people living in the Pleasant Plains area. Many of the graves were marked by planting clumps of iris, bushes, or trees or just putting limestone rocks on the gravesite. With the passage of time, the limestone rocks deteriorated and flowers, bushes and trees died. It is estimated there were about 100 burials in the cemetery from 1879 to 1915. As near as can be determined, the last burial was about 1912.

At 2 p.m. on 31 March 2022, cordons were drawn up all along the streets and the officials were urging the shops to close. This grocery shop was so packed with people and was never likely to reopen from then until today, and no one knows if it will ever open again.

The traditional fishermen's village of Holm was heavily affected by wars, epidemics and other catastrophes of the centuries, The poverty associated with this led as early as the 17th century to the founding of a guild of the dead to support each other in arranging funerals. Today one would say it was a mutual insurance association. The 15 remaining fishermen of Holm keep the association going, it also owns this atmospheric cemetery in the middle of the small village.
society is the epidemic, they all talk about you, about me, indirectly, behind backs, talk as if they speak right from the gap where the soul should be, that we’re in depression instead of consciousness and dreams are symptoms. As if they have transferred to a word a disease, and drop us like a sentence into the depth of empty eyes and there’s no wall, but only a sharp sheet of paper between us and them.
Are we the dreams of sleepwalkers? The awakened in a dream?
I really love you, Kostaki

Multiple studies have shown that there are genetic factors and gut microbiome factors that can lead to an increased likelihood of obesity. It is not always as simple as 'eat less' or 'exercise more' as there are many other factors at play including eating disorders, mental health issues and disability. We should never judge unless we have walked in someone else's shoes. Obesity is a modern epidemic of which science is still learning so please note that any derogatory comments will be removed. We are all human and we all deserve understanding and care.
Stay safe out there everyone!

The late and still great Daniel Johnston didn't always know how to go about relating to people face to face but he did know how to ask the most important question.
We're in a really high panicked time where the coronavirus and information about the coronavirus is evolving every hour or faster. With schools closing and some restaurants and businesses, panic buying, and people told that they should be working from home if at all possible, these are dire times.
Definitely the scariest thing about this pandemic is that it seems now there are a high number of people who are asymptomatic in their 20s and 30s especially who are spreading this virus for others who are older and/or immunosuppressed. This is very different from what we were told initially, which was that if we weren't symptomatic, we were just find to carry on about our normal lives. So, if you can, please self quarantine even if you don't have symptoms.
www.cnn.com/2020/03/14/health/coronavirus-asymptomatic-sp...
In a time of self quarantine, we must ask ourselves how we will evolve as human creatures who happen to be social beings. I've always thought of Flickr as a space where I was lucky enough to see photos from around the world in a glance each day. I think we owe it to each other as artists and as humans to share with each other how we are spending this time of self quarantine and to comfort each other. I want to hear from you. I want to comfort you. I want to laugh with you. I want to cry with you.
I want to make sure you're ok. Hi, how are you?

In 1892, a cholera epidemic devastated the docklands population, convincing the city of Hamburg to demolish the warren of overcrowded, unhygienic alleyways and start again. First came the Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse district in the world built between 1885 and 1927. Then came the Kontorhaus district. Both are part of the World Heritage site designated in 2015.
The Sprinkenhof is an architectural masterpiece and one of the great examples of Brick Expressionism, with lovely details like the intricate, late-art deco interior staircase and one of the few remaining paternoster elevators. Designed by architects Fritz Höger and the Jewish brothers Hans and Askar Gerson in 1927, the Sprinkenhof took 16 years to build in three phases. Construction was delayed by economic crises and political upheaval, the death of Hans Gerson in 1931, his brother’s persecution and eventual exile in 1938. The building was finally inaugurated in May 1943. Two months later, Allied firebombs gutted parts of it, causing damage that took years to repair.

I have a saying that only one in thirty sunrises are exceptional. Fortunately, timelapse increases my odds. As long as there is movement, I find them very entertaining to watch and record. Today, however, was spectacular so I labelled it "One in Thirty".

On 28 March, the day after the announcement of the successive lockdown of Pudong and Puxi and the first day of the lockdown in Pudong, the city centre of Puxi was left untouched for the time being while a rush for food had happened.
This street corner, where the flower seller has always occupied, is a place of leisure for the fashionably wealthy. It seemed that he did not mind the impending lockdown of the city. Now the lockdown has been in place for more than twenty days, I wonder how people like this who make a living on the streets get by.
My daughter had seen pictures online of a cemetery filled with bluebonnets in Palo Pinto County near Strawn Texas. So on a beautiful April evening we found our selves in the Strawn area looking fo the cemetery and the flowers. After over a half hour we had not found it though we checked all the cemeteries on our Google map. As we were driving southward out of town, my daughter found the name of the cemetery on Facebook at about the same time that we drove by the gate of Mt. Marion Cemetery. There were not many flowers in the front half of the cemetery but we got out and started walking towards the rear of the cemetery, the whole back half of the cemetery was covered by a deep carpet of bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis) as shown in this photo. Wow!
A historical marker in the cemetery gives this history of the cemetery: “Located on land once owned by William W. Johnson, whose coal mining operations spurred major development in nearby Thurber, this cemetery was named for Johnson's daughter, Marion, who died at age three. It later became the primary burial ground for the town of Strawn. The earliest documented burial dates to 1883. Interred here are many area pioneers, including town founder Stephen B. Strawn, former Texas Rangers, veterans of wars from the Civil War to World War II, and victims of the devastating 1918-19 influenza epidemic. It is a reflection of the area's heritage”.
