I& #39;m feeling a lot more kindly towards medieval folks who thought you could catch the Black Death by staring at someone who had it.

There& #39;s an un-peer-reviewed study going around saying you can catch the rona by cycling in someone& #39;s slipstream and I can& #39;t immediately rule it out

Medieval doctors thought the plague was caused by corrupt air and I mean it turns out the Black Death was partly airborne, so?? That& #39;s as close to an understanding of contagion as you& #39;re gonna get in a society that hasn& #39;t heard of germs

"Wearing pointed shoes" not so much
