The basic reproduction number of pneumonic plague is around 1.3, meaning one infected person infects an average of 1.3 other people. For measles, it's 12 to 18, meaning that on average, one person with measles will infect 12 to 18 other people in a population without any immunity or vaccination.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

It's a small mixer control panel with push buttons in light grey, pink and blue each indicating a different function. For the On and Off symbols, the manufacturer used the line and circle that are universal for open and closed circuits, but someone has written in Sharpie: "On" and "Off".
