A Mask for Our Time - The Plague Doctor

I thought this would have caught on months ago. It hasn't - it needs a push.

A test that isn't a test, designed to create positives for a virus that has never been isolated from a human, triggers the gagging of humanity.

What better symbol is there for our decrepit age than the classic Plague Doctor.

Today's perambulations started here, The 'plague doctors' are back! Police probe creepy 17th Century physician seen scaring children near duck pond - weeks after spate of sightings across UK at start of pandemic
. Never mind the real evil from the government, a man in a mask is very scary indeed.

Our own latter-day fear-monger should be celebrated for his achievement.

Close, but he really needs that beak!

Something like this would do nicely:

And here's a short historical interlude.

This is more the spirit!

Turning V into a Plague Doctor is perfect.

A new symbol for our dystopian medical tyranny.

I then discover that Assassin's Creed has a plague doctor character.

The text matches perfectly:

But we do know some of the current plague doctors, and yet are as impotent as our medieval ancestors.

All the Fun of the Fear!


Would be great if the graphic artists among us can create some really "good" images of our current plague doctors. For educational purposes.

Even better, someone manufacture some masks!

Yes, one can already buy them here, but we need something cheaper than 60 Euros a beak.
