          I guess it's a bit of that disaster altruism feeling kicking in - US folks are taking it on themselves to become experts at the convoluted systems and eligibility criteria, booking slots on behalf of others. they're Taking Action and Caring For Others.

      whereas I just need to remember to update my address with my GP. the system is handling it, and the criteria for eligibility are, if not perfect, pretty reasonable. but mainly I need to sit tight & wait for the system.
