La Bloomba worth revisiting

Plants not only move, they dance: Award-winning La Bloomba! Film by Kris Holmes.
In memoriam: https://senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/inmemoriam/html/williamoliverbright.html
( It was here but now moved to the above link. http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/senate/inmemoriam/williamoliverbright.html )
At first, I could not find the film again ( 5-9-2022) but I did find this information:
"La Bloomba
"Author: Kris Holmes
"Time-lapse openings of hundreds of flowers are "choreographed" to dance to the traditional Mexican song, La Bamba.
"Every single flower and plant in this film was grown by me, in my own garden. I shot all of the original video myself, no stock footage was used. I designed the font used in the titles. This film was my MFA Thesis film for UCLA Film School."

Did they have to cancel all the sports to give us the play-by-olay on the Corona Virus?
I didn't think I would miss sports so much. I mean you can't help liking them if you are in Boston, or, New York, or Kansas or Texas, or wherever your favorite team(s) are.
But, the play-by-play on the Corona virus is surely panicking people more than need be.
We need to learn more science as a nation to not panick.
The good news is, "PEOPLE ARE NOW WASHING THEIR HANDS AFTER THEY GO TO THE BATHROOM.'
This hand-washing action alone will help reduce disease. More on that has been posted other places in the blog (https://read-about-it.blogspot.com/2008/06/c-diff-epidemic-in-usa-and-europe-hits.html & https://read-about-it.blogspot.com/2012/06/update-from-personal-contact-wash-your.html).
We do need more science applied. For example, when you have some unknown condition, do not bring it into airports all over the country...California, Texas, New York, Stewart... Keep that unknown in one place until you know what it is.
And using a quarantine is not treating people like lepers. Quarantine is used to prevent spread of disease. But quarantine the ill and those they have seen until we get a handle on controlling the disease., Don't lock down whole cities Too many people will go out of business while other people may be able to gain control of so much more.
Let's look at a few videos on the Corona virus, Watch them and reflect on them. Use these videos to bounce increase your microbiology and virology knowledge base, Expand from there.
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know I am about getting you to think more deeply about science topics and to be able to formulate opinions and decisions based on data and research. This post is no different. Watch the vidos, jot down your ideas. Post your comments and questions. Have fun. and, oh, yes... Wash your hands with soap and water while singing your favorite song twice, (If you don't have a favorite song, use happy birthday.)

You may or may not know that I was electrocuted while working a job in Massachusetts.
I had to re-learn a lot of things, like reading and writing, and walking, and thinking. Well, here I am back and even able to go 3 miles a day with a cane. That is an accomplishment if you've got DEI. What id DEI? It stands for diffuse electrical injury and it is no fun, More on that in other venues, Learn-Now.org, I just wanted to let my readers know I am back. I am looking forward to hearing from all of you again. It is truly a miracle I am back.
