Medical Development

A mouth guarding veil like this would have been not wrong in the centuries of the pestilence. Actually I have seen the four-part TV-series by Ken Follett “World Without End” (2007): In those medieval times they mostly tried to make a therapy by cutting out clever Bible Verses, mashing and then eating them. Surprise: Usually they didn’t have any success with this method, to stop the pestilence.

Actually the Taliban in Pakistan are blocking the trials of the WHO to fight vs. polio.
