Have not seen that index previously. The latest ones I find showed Canada second only to Finland. Cannot believe the 7th place for the U.S.America still has very much a fend for yourself mentality. Canada’s house prices have reached the stratosphere too, especially Vancouver and Toronto. FWIW both have implemented non residency taxes.

It actually never ceases to surprise me how many people don’t know how to wash their hands properly, or think it doesn’t matter much.

The NHS has five steps: water, soap, wash, rinse, dry: because humans know not how to wash. Sarcasm notwithstanding, some, doubtless, don’t!

There’s a problem there. People haven’t been able to subscribe for a while either. I’ve got someone looking into it.

I worked for the NZ equivalent. Flu jabs were offered free to staff every year, and there was a huge focus on basic hygiene such as hand washing between patients etc. That wouldn’t help a cold of course, but did reduce sick leave a lot, and helped protect the patients.
