When I was a girl, boys had cooties. A friend’s daughter recently was warned by a fellow kindergartner not to touch or “you’ll get coronavirus.” In Boccaccio’s day you would have avoided someone “like the plague.”Until 2013 “oh well, no one lost a limb” was a light way to brush-off something that didn’t go as…
