The last time I went for an x-ray I had to wait 2 months for an appointment. In the radiography department, if I remember rightly, there were 3 scanners. I think this will be the number of scanners available in all towns of about 100,000 people or more. So not many and hence the long waiting time. There are possibly a third of this number in private healthcare too?
wow… that sounds real poor for a country the size and development as the UK. 2 month waiting time is a long time, unless it is for a low priority annual checkup kind of thing.

Here’s a digestible article about how capitalism has failed in fighting coronavirus. Perhaps it’s western arrogance that was mostly to blame because South Korea has successfully contained it, as have Hong Kong, Singapore and China by all reports (and Japan too?).
East Asia, from Vietnam & Singapore to Japan via Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and the Koreas have that virus more or less contained, albeit with heavy travel restrictions. Japan is a bit on the edge atm, the number of infected people is growing faster suddenly in the last two weeks. No country here is out of the woods yet. Everybody expects this crisis to last at least another year probably in a less acute & dramatic form.

Re: Corona virus
A pretty decent BBC article on death and mortality rates. I don’t think we’ll know the complete (true ?) numbers for a few years.

As expected, moving towards a State of Emergency for selected areas in Japan. At first sight, not much will change from the already implemented measures, for now.

It was to check for COPD. So not an annual check-up but not an emergency either. I would think hospitalized people would be scanned as needed but 2 months may be the average for the rest. The NHS here consistently fails to meet waiting time targets for most things. It was struggling to cope before the virus, so that’s why private health professionals and retired pros too have been brought in.

The article also says forced testing, so perhaps it’s Denmark’s way of doing what South Korea is doing but without the electronic tracking. In force until March 2021 but the vaccine might not be ready then, but people will have got used the law and will simply accept it being continued.

Re: Corona virus
Oh I take lots of vitamin C and D and get as much Sun time as possible. Also take zinc supplements
As for relying 100% on those pills to keep the virus at bay…. colour me sceptical
