Please allow me to return this mental image you just placed in my head.

*

Worf : There is no honour in lube, a true warrior faces their fate with courage and blood.

Picard : Lieutenant Worf, as your captain, I must insist you follow starfleet protocols. The use of lube when exploring your superior officer's sphincter had been well established for a reason.

Q: (appears with a flash, clearly filming the proceedings with a handycam) Captain, what a pleasant surprise, I allways knew you had a soft spot for tall dark and unintelligible here. But isn't this a bit boring? Perhaps a chorus of cheerleading Silesian Rompers and a litigating badger would liven things up.

Picard : Q! Turn off that camera!

Q: Well that's hardly any fun, what will we show at the next Christmas party?

Picard : Get off my ship!

Q: Well, if you insist, I know when I'm not welcome. If you change your mind, I'll be attending a party on Rigel, they've been begging me to come out there for years now. (snaps fingers and flashes out)

Picard: Now, where were we mister Worf.

Worf: Sir! Your shields were down and I was about to send an away team to secure the back entrance. Sir!

Picard : (getting in position) Make it so.

** Edit : Gold pressed Latinum ! Thank you kind stranger !

I'm in that strange state of mind where the first thing I wondered after reading this is wether someone can be illegally blind.

As someone observing from outside the US, my understanding of Obamacare is that it is similar to the german and japanese systems in that it forces insurance companies to cover everyone. However unlike the two systems in question, doesn't legislate the prices of medical interventions and insurance premiums/terms leading to abberations like overpriced medical services and deductibles that basically make your medical insurance unusable.

Is this reasonably accurate or am I missing some information here ?

It does , but if hospitals get overloaded like they did in Italy, the problem becomes that they're unavailable for anything else, so there will undoubtedly be collateral damage from people foregoing or putting off treatments longer than they should, like cancer for example. Or not being able to get timely emergency care, like for a stroke.

Also Study from Spain a week ago wasn't particularly optimistic about durable herd immunity just from previous infection and recovery. Now I don't know exactly what that implies, but I don't like it one bit.

That escalated quickly.
