Young Woman with a Water Pitcher, ca. 1662, by Johannes Vermeer, 45.7 x 40.6 cm, The Met
Standing at an open window, a woman begins her day with ablutions from a gilt-silver pitcher and basin, with linen coverings protecting her dress and hair. The first work by Vermeer to enter an American collection, this painting embodies the artist’s interest in domestic themes, giving an almost voyeuristic glimpse into the private life of a woman before she presents her public face to the world.
The perfect balance of the composition, the cool clarity of the light, and the silvery tones of blue and gray combine to make this closely studied view of an interior a classic work by Vermeer. It is characteristic of his early maturity and dates from the beginning of the 1660s.

Monkeypox is following the Covid playbook step by step
1. The monkeypox outbreak was “predicted” by an exercise a few months before it happened. Just like Covid.
2. We’ve seen the narrative re-inforced by rumours that it’s a bio-weapon. These accusations have gone both ways, with the Western press saying Monkeypox is a Russian bio-weapon and Chinese rumours claiming it was deliberately released by the US. Just like Covid
3. We’re seeing institutions revising history in order to inflate the potential threat of the disease. just like Covid.
4. Monkeypox is being diagnosed via a PCR test. These tests are going to become more widely available as test-makers “seize the new market” and governments plan to “ramp up testing”. Increased testing (with an unreliable test) could artificially inflate “cases”, and feed the panic. Just like covid.
5. The monkeypox narrative is being pushed by countries on both sides of the “New Cold War”. Just like covid.
