Hand belonging to an X-ray technician at the Royal London Hospital, which shows the damage from radiation exposure, 1900.

Like a piece of meat or a chicken leg? Well back in 1900, people didn't know the dangers of radiation exposure so they thought it would be harmless to use their hands.

The x-ray had been discovered just a few years before in 1895 by a man name Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, a German mechanical engineer and physicist. Röntgen did not seek patents for his discoveries because he wanted society to benefit from the practical applications of X-rays. In 1901, Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics.

Here's an email I got because I am licensed in MA. Straight from the dept of health.
Massachusetts continues to prepare for the potential outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, that originated in Wuhan, Hubei, China. The risk of COVID-19 in the Commonwealth is low; in contrast, the risk of flu is high.

Our Department of Public Health staff have been in constant contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local partners, and launched a site that includes extensive information and is a “source of truth” at: mass.gov/2019coronavirus. The site includes resources and fact sheets translated in multiple languages that can be printed and shared.

· Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, using a tissue or the inside of your elbow
· Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and warm water frequently and use hand sanitizer
· If you have a fever or feel sick, stay home and call your healthcare provider
· Get the flu vaccine – it is not too late! Find more information on the flu and where to get a flu vaccine here: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/what-should-i-know-about-flu
