Our Ancestors got it right – As usual

As the pestilence sweeps the land, there are several things we have been advised to do to keep ourselves safe.

But, of course, our ancestors got there first.

 

Greetings

‘We shouldn’t touch each other when greeting.’

 

This was usually taught at an early age

But you were never too old to learn

Social distancing.

 

Men were taught to do this.

Whilst women’s clothes were designed to encourage this.

 

They could also help if a man didn’t abide by the rules.

Whilst leaving plenty of space for fresh air and exercise.

 

Protective clothing

 

But above all spend your time productively. Shakespeare once self-isolated to protect himself from the plague. He took the opportunity to write King Lear!
