Soon we’ll be told to diagnose ourselves and phone it in.

“...Federal officials say they have been working to make the site better and plan further improvements soon. Also, administrators say they welcome feedback and try to fix typos or other errors quickly.”

What’s funny is the Korean above the “Renovate Your Body Newly” is pronounced Wuh king sen tuh. I read it quickly as Walking Center.

At least they look comely while doing so.

The name of the site, CuidadoDeSalud.gov, can be litterally read as “for the caution of health.”
