CORONA VIRUS - UPDATES

I compiled the best resources I could find concerning the Corona Virus in my Blogger blog - the title starts out goofy, because initially I wanted to illustrate how stupid some people are, but the updates are serious!
I had initially posted on Steemit, but gave up doing updates since the post wasn't doing any good anyway, so I concentrated on updating my blog, because for one thing, unlike here there are no trolls following me around on Blogger, and it gets good exposure on Google - so check it out and read through it. Follow the links to the REPUTABLE SOURCES I cite. Save yourself from a lot of misinformation.
In medieval times, it was thought that this was going to protect you from the plague:

And a contemporary costume, encountered last August in Portugal at the yearly Medieval Days in Obidas:

Consider present day:
Amazon’s bestselling products read like a coronavirus prep guide
"As shoppers stock up, Amazon is scrambling to block scammers and schemes"
"Amazon recently banned countless listings for price-gouged medical masks and other goods related to the coronavirus outbreak"

About the Present Day Headlines: This is actually additional information not found in my Blogger Blog - however, read the blog thoroughly, because there are Update Links on it to sources that are updating regularly, including a Live-Streaming Map. .
One of the excellent sources I found is this video, and I recommend clicking through it to the channel to find updated videos:

FYI - I gave up for the time being to post in Communities - I had my fill of fighting off trolls and abusive bullies.
Incase you didn't know you can post to a community and then resteem your own post so it shows up on your blog like normal, that way of posting just makes one post
Thank you Julia - I know, and have done that before, but didn't feel like it now, the reasons I stated above. Also, though it leads with a Bosch that otherwise would fit well into Alien Art and also has a second rather bizarre illustration (google Pest Doctor Steampunk to see some really good stuff), the theme of the blog is not about art. I had written extensively about Bosch before - on my website: Search Bosch
