Such a bucolic image. Green, the ground full of small flowers and a little donkey that reminded me of Juan Ramón Jiménez's book. 'Platero i yo'.💚💮📖🫏

Covid is airborne!
Wear a respirator ffp2/3
Open windows
Clean the Air- build a Corsi-Rosenthal Box or use a Hepa Air Purifier.

It’s easy, it will help prevent infections.
