Being vaccinated against COVID isn't good enough. Wear a mask. It's at record levels across the US, according to waste water analysis. Wear a mask. COVID can really fuck up your brain even if you're vaccinated. Wear a mask.

[Text transcription:

The study results showed that a total of 1,539 subjects were analyzed from 13 studies, including four community-based and nine healthcare-based studies. Among these, 243 subjects had SARS-CoV-2 infections, including 97 who did and 146 who did not wear facemasks. The team noted that the probability of contracting a COVID-19 disease was 7% for mask wearers and 52% for non-mask wearers. The relative risk of getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 was 0.13 for mask wearers.

In the healthcare setting, 9% of the mask wearers and 33% of the non-mask wearers tested COVID-19 positive. Furthermore, the relative risk of contracting COVID-19 was 0.20 for individuals wearing facemasks within the healthcare setting. Additionally, in community settings, the team noted that 6% of mask wearers and 83% of non-maks wearers tested SARS-CoV-2 positive. The relative risk of contracting COVID-19 in the community setting was 0.08 for mask wearers.

Greek Red-Figure Miniature Chous, Attica, Circa 420-400 C.E. A young child crawls toward a cluster of grapes hanging on the vine, below which is placed a miniature chous.

Today is Choës, the second day of the festival of Anthesteria. Some consider it to be the anniversary of the wedding of Ariadne to Dionysus. On this night in ancient Athens, the Basilinna, ceremonial Queen and wife of the Archon Basileus, ceremonial King and Magistrate of religious rites, became the mystic bride of Dionysus in a sacred ceremony.

This day is named for choës (singular: chous), short, round vessels with a single handle and trefoil mouth which were used to pour wine. This is one type of the vessels made for this use, collectively known as oinochai (singular:  oinochoe; from oinos - wine and cheo - I pour).  

The miniature version seen here were invariably decorated with scenes of young children, usually boys, but sometimes girls. Scholars believe these vessels were gifts to children three years of age by their parents for the Anthesteria, and that these children would drink their first drops of wine on this sacred occasion. It was such an important event in the life of a child that a chous was often placed in the grave of a child who died before attending their first Anthesteria
