warning people against "careless spitting,
coughing, sneezing."

Those precautions had mixed results, and
an estimated 675,000 Americans died during
that outbreak, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

Full Moon and two days after that has come the principal Christian
feast.
Such a calendrical cluster (#1, see below) !

In order to save both ourselves individually and our race as a whole,
