You had a queue! I went to my doctor and you would have to pick the lock on the front door!

Well is appears there is less B.S. in the last update.

Shame that it did not happen in the UK.

their leader has finally solved the whole thing perfectly, and tremendously well. Actually perfect.
The word 'quack' comes from the Dutch word "kwaken".
It's the sound of a duck.
This word is also used to indicate bragging and boasting. Totally enhanced with the so-called blah-blah sock-puppet gesture.
The Dutch word "kwaksalver" is a contraction of "kwak" and "salver" where "salver" is the applier of salve or ointment.
In English this is "quacksalver".

I found this website: QuackWatch
These are the headlines for detecting a quack:
  1. The discoverer pitches the claim directly to the media.
  2. The discoverer says that a powerful establishment is trying to suppress his or her work.
  3. The scientific effect involved is always at the very limit of detection.
  4. Evidence for a discovery is anecdotal.
  5. The discoverer says a belief is credible because it has endured for centuries.
  6. The discoverer has worked in isolation.
  7. The discoverer must propose new laws of nature to explain an observation.

No bingo on all items. Maybe next time.

The problem of randomness is that sometimes a pattern seemingly emerges, you just don't know when.
The real serious problems start to take off when he randomly stumbles on something that happens to work... then it's dr. Darwin for president.

Some stage climbers just keep quacking and quacking...
With a "quack quack" here and a "quack quack" there. Here a "quack" there a "quack", everywhere a "quack, quack".

Was it a five Pound note or a ten Pound note ?

Here they want you to do a phone consultation now if you think you are sick.

I havnt tried but I suspect if I were to phone I would get some good recorded advice followed by instructions to leave my name and telephone number and they would get back to me at the "first available opportunity" to give me more advice to stay home .

"Hands on " healers have always been very rare individuals ! . Reminds me of that funny beak type head covering the doctors in the middle ages used to wear to prevent themselves getting too close to the consultee !

I think you should go back down to the Doctors office with another slip of paper with the foll0wing link on it for them :-


-Old Crow Medicine Show - Were All In This Together .

Quote - :-

"Well my friends, I see your face so clearly
Little bit tired, little worn through the years
You sound nervous, you seem alone
I hardly recognize your voice on the telephone

In between I remember
Just before bound-up, broken-down
We drive out to the edge of the highway
Follow that lonesome dead-end roadside south

We're all in this thing together
Walkin' the line between faith and fear
This life don't last forever
When you cry I taste the salt in your tears

What I found funny about Trump's last update is that he now had stopped taking questions..or let's call it the rambling unprofessional, make up excuses paint a glorious picture - part. They now only presented the facts, the numbers. Finally they see improvement in USA. The new cases are falling and deaths also.. (OK, NY is doing better..) but when I went the day after to look at the numbers, this excact day was the day with the highest reported new cases of Covid-19 so far, in the US. Finally time to reopen from the hoax virus..

All the best wishes from me.

I have started breeding leeches.
Everyone knows how effective they used to be a few decades ago. They fixed everything.
My plan is, when i have enough i'll tell fox news that leeches may well be effective at eating the virus. If all goes to plan, that super hero orangeman will spread the word and i'll be rich.
I do have a plan B incase plan A doesn't go exactly like i would like it.
Plan B is, extract one of the enzymes from the leeches, preferably one with a very complicated name, mix it with some dihydrogen monoxide which can then be added to the cooloing circuit of a car to fix blown head gaskets.
My big worry in plan A is that "being orange" isn't actually a superpower.

Wonder if this isn’t one of the downsides of a government run Medicare?

The General Practice were the Doctor resides, like many others are privately run.
The sames is true of Dentist, Opticians and Pharmacist.

They can claim all or part of their costs from the National Health.

Just a little more complexity to take into account.

P.S. I have been reading, while in Lockdown, a book 'The CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA'. With selected writings of the founding fathers.

Odd really, after reading about Boston, I found myself drinking coffee instead of my life long habit of drinking tea ?

What downside are you talking about?
-----------------
In my opinion:

The "free"/public healthcare is the reason many do better, and will do better than US will, health-wise.

The lack of national guidance and common structure is the reason US failed and will miserably in this.. That is why they have the riots..that's why millions of people are homeless, people work two jobs..and have to eat mcDonalds cheap fast food in between the jobs, that make them more unfit to handle such diseases..

A huge problem is that the private healthcare have no reason to spend alot of money prepare for this or that. They are after next years return.. It has no gain in preparing for pandemics etc. And people without insurance are left running sick spreading (the) disease(s).

Things that should be under national/tax support and guidance:

- Military
- Police
- Health
- Education
- A National(democratic) funded TV and Radio-channel. (To avoid fake nes left wing and right wing news)
- "Uneployement salery"
- "Sick salery"

Why?
People can't choose their parents. Therefor the following should be true:

Peoples education should not depend on who is their parents.
Peoples health support should NOT depend on who is their parents.
Peoples armed protection should not depend on who is their parents.
People should not have to live on the streets because of none of the above, or their parents DNA or actions/choices.

But people should be able to earn as much as they like when they start a business (minus taxes to even out "DNA"), but because they didn't choose their DNA, they should also have a system to back them up if they get ill of any kind. Even if that day was the day before their business earned anything.. And they should expect that the system prepare for pandemics for them. People are not experts on pandemics. Fox news is NOT, and certainly Trump is NOT. A serious health departement should be, as a collective unifying and true voice. This is not what happens if you also have competing private News channels. (Science is not an opinion) People should have a choice to watch one channel, to know what to do in national crises! ONE! Not one channel supporting what ever rich person trying to be elected.. for votes.. That's not health. That's just---dangerous and disrespectful to their people.

Naturally many Dutch words are in the English language [being European to our bones].

Quack is a term for doctors and snake oil salesmen.

Yet where would the world be without the US system.
“Although the US produces about 22% of the global GDP and accounts for 4% of the world's population, it accounts for 44% of global biomedical R&D expenditures and its domestic pharmaceutical market about 40% of the global market�
“The ITIF study uses the indicator of price indicator as it find that it correlates to biopharmaceutical innovation. The study further cited another study that examined the 28 largest pharmaceutical markets between 1980 and 2000 and found that countries with strict price controls temper domestic innovation in the life sciences. Another study analyzing data from 1986 through 2004 on European pharmaceutical price controls concluded that such policies resulted in 46 new medicines not being developed and estimated that if the US had had similar pricing policies during the same period, it would have resulted in 117 fewer new medicines.�
Canada has a publicly funded health care system. It is a two years waiting period to get a hip replacement that is after spending a 6 months to a year to see the specialist and get his assessment done. Eight hour waits in the emergency hospital for very serious work place injuries such as broken legs for a facial cut that took 87 stitches to close. If you have money in Canada you get your serious health needs done in the States. If you want it done cheap you go to Mexico. If you are a pauper you wait and hopefully don’t die or get addicted. The Canadian system is about hiding and collecting a wage. I doubt Canada is the only country with this problem.

I am not sure what you are going on about. For example the BBC and CBC are the most biased agenda driven networks due to sucking off the crown tit. Competing private new is the only way to get the message out to the masses. Just remember to read more than one especially if your favorite is government run national suckling.

I have never been to Norway to form an opinion of their news, congratulations if you are not brainwashed.
