They get what they (collectively) voted for.

Oh well. I'm sure my turn will come too.

We will be facing this ourselves in this country. It could be next year, or it could take longer, who knows.

But I have purposed in my heart that I will do what I can to care for my family, and leave the rest to God’s hands.

Lord, have mercy on us who love and follow you. Amen.

Patients calling the service are being forced to wait up to two days before they can speak to a nurse

Talking to a nurse does not seem like much help for the flue.

I always thought the “Talking Cure” had something to do with emotional problems.

Original article has a pic of a fine looking British lass in bed sneezing or coughing. She looks very very hot! I’d risk catching what she has just for a couple of hours with her. Wonder how the photographer got to see her. Or was it a “posed” picture using an actress? Doesn’t look like she even has any makeup on.

So don't get the flu - simple. Take, on foods or in a small glass of water - 1 tablespoon full (can spread out over day, of raw cider vinegar every day.)

Whenever you feel a twinge in your nose, RUN for garlic ;o) that twinge is the first attack of germs - diggin foxholes, as it were, in the membranes of your nose. From here, they will spread out for an all out attack. You have a one hour window to stop them dead in your nose.

Crush a garlic clove and sniff it up each nostril, individually, several times. Do this several times more in the next couple hours. does it work? 'hard to prove a negative...as in "I didn't get...because" as apposed to "I got well, after the fact...because"

However, I haven't had a cold or the flu in 30 years. The last time I had the flu was when I foolishly got the flu shot. Lemon juice is also a great 'preventive'

Isn’t “free” healthcare wonderful?

Prevent getting it by strengthening your body first, if you are in the UK and fear getting sick. Take upwards of 3000 units of vitamin D a day if you are over 35.
