What could explain such an increase of visits in the past three months, of approximately: 6000; 10,000; and 15,000?
The long term care trade associations and hospital association holding joint annual meetings, assuring their membership that their long term care clients continue saying nothing publicly that might risk their health and safety?
Like a preacher eyeing a full collection plate looking back through the sermon for just what it was they said.
The increase was due to a large number of “hits” on the unusual maps of the world. Google searches must of led to these so the numbers don’t really mean much except the overall trends.
