and maybe, just maybe. All the idiots will take a honest look at the difference in national and private healthcare in terms of both being prepared and results......

National health care being paid for by all those still working, which is government, police and doctors.

Google search, multiple sites say it has plummeted.

But I am sure it will come back.

I know that, especially burglary and armed robbery. People are staying home and burglars don't like to mess with occupied dwellings. And with no one on the street the opportunities for robbery are down too.

But that isn't going to last forever. What I'm asking for are the projections, not the current stats.
 
Relax; first pandemic’s on the house; a small s&h charge applies.

After that, you’ll receive a New Pandemic every month....
