Actually, Leon, there was a study just report over the weekend or early
this week claiming that if you're fully inoculated with the Covid-19
vaccine you are highly unlikely to be a carrier of the virus.
Personally, I'm following the masking and washing guidelines until a lot
more time has passed. Take it all with a grain of salt.

If Universal Health care is so great in Canada, why do our neighbors to
the north continue to come to the States for treatment.


My Candian colleagues tell me that such statements are inaccurate
for most healthcare (including non-emergency care). Elective procedures
and cosmetic procedures may take a bit longer depending on the
procedure.

My next door neighbor spends significant time in Italy. Two years
ago, his wife had a minor fall. She had an MRI -and- a CT that

that it's all covered - they had purchased ($200 annual) visitors

average (most recent I found) 20.9 weeks between the time their Canadian
GP refers them to a specialist and when the specialist sees them have


Do you have a citation for this?


This is NOT the same link I found yesterday, but close. IIRC the 20.9
was from 2017 or 2018 in the one I cited. This one is very close to
that figure and shows the lag time to be increasing. I think the 20.9
was an average over all specialties. Oncology was around 4 weeks and
orthopedic was almost 40 weeks. As in everything else YMMV depending
upon what ails you and local availability of medical professionals.
