Still a cartoon, but no longer a joke.
I strongly advise anyone in the US who has put off a necessary medical or surgical procedure(s), get it done; schedule it as soon as feasible, if said medical service is available to you (not a given, if you have access to medical care use the privilege while you still have it). Particularly if you rely on Medicare or Medicaid.
Not going to bore you with personal details (i.e. advertise them across the surveill-o-verse) but I have already done so.
