Easy peasy! Try having windows that open -- airing out the ward, Ogdensberg Psychiatric Hospital, 1900-1910. Five casement windows visible, four of them wide open. Two skylight windows that likely opened by means of a long grappling-hook, though not enough detail here to tell.

Aren't stem cells super-sensitive? Does management think contamination won't be a problem? Here are paleontologists geared up, searching for ancient DNA at a dig site. Clearly THEY worry about contamination.

No one can top this iconic design... 80+ years, with one short hiatus, then the ragtop Cabriolet back in production in Brazil. Sadly...abandoned in favour of the hatchback [which might be the end of Volkswagen, so the biz media say].

This gymnastic maneuver was taken in winter, but he is doing the same thing right now as I type this -- same human climbing frame, same balance-beam. We were put on this earth to provide food & perpetual amusement...

Indeed! what if we just nuked the pathogens with Far-UVC light 222nm? I use NUKIT's 4-small unit 'torch' system in a clinical setting. At home in an empty room, I use this R2D2-ish unit 400nm 85 watts.

The media never pursues the reason WHY the situation is so dire: callous & brutal cuts to the healthcare budget -- even as the feds sent MORE funding to deal with the pandemic. Ont residents never saw any of that increase, just cuts, cuts & layoffs.
