Birthday wish for the world’s saddest Lion King cake comes true

I cannot believe this rowhouse in St. Louis, Missouri. They are asking only $325,000 and according to Zillow, it’s estimated value is $283,590, so maybe it can be bought for less. You won’t believe the awesome inside, though. 

Look at this entrance hall. 

Even if the owner takes all his things with him, there are still the beams, floors, fireplaces and architectural features he added. 

Look at his collection of pulleys. It’s like a museum.

Check out this fancy powder room.

This a hallway that leads to kitchen on the left.

These cabinets are crazy. And, look at the little sitting area. It has the original old floors, too. It was built in 1885.

Look at this hall- some of the mirrors reflect upside-down.

This appears to be a home office. What an unusual fireplace.

You can look over this room onto the floor below, b/c it’s on a mezzanine, but you can also see other areas of the home thru glass walls.

Look at the upper part of the hall. Kind of looks like house exteriors.

This purple and white room looks like an art gallery.

From here you can see way down to another sitting room. Notice the mantle over the round hearth.

This huge room is a bathroom.

I don’t know what this is- probably another sitting room.

Could this be a potting room? Anyway, it leads to the roof.

Here we are out on the room- I don’t know if that’s the house next door, but it looks like you can climb from one building to the other.

It doesn’t look like you could really sit- well, you can, but it’s not really a patio, although it’s interesting up here.

There’s this network of railings or something and I can’t tell which house is which. 

From this side, you can see the neighborhood and some of the yards.

Down to the basement.

You can see clear up to the top of the house from down here.

At least it’s not creepy with the old stone walls painted white. I guess that’s an old heat stove. 

There’s a bedroom and a very nice shower down here.

Behind the house are exits to the yard from the basement and the 1st floor. 

The garden is stunning.

And, look at this path. Is that the neighbor’s yard? The homes are very close together.

The street itself is beautiful. I need this house.

Herd immunity is the idea that if enough people get immunized against a disease, they’ll create protection for even those who aren’t vaccinated. This is important to protect those who can’t get vaccinated, like immunocompromised children. 

You can see in the image how low levels of vaccination lead to everyone getting infected. Medium levels slow down the progression of the illness, but they don’t offer robust protection to the unvaccinated. But once you read a high enough level of vaccination, the disease gets effectively road-blocked. It can’t spread fast enough because it encounters too many vaccinated individuals, and so the majority of the population (even the unvaccinated people) are protected.
