Prescription Renewal

Nota Bene. Dr Montague’s Remedy List may be shared with friends and colleagues but should be withheld from miscreants, ding-dongs and suspected frilly-dillies. Hopefully a further Anti-Viral Remedy prescription will not be necessary once the governments’ “All Clears” are sounded. According to Boris Johnson/Donald Trump that should be “soonly” and “strongly”. Nevertheless we find ourselves once again thrown into further unchartered waters by Minneapolis as The Great Leader, an unmasked Potato Head, holds up The Bible and summons lightning from his terrible swift sword. Bovem de humo operies. Amen.
⚠️ Important Reminder ⚠️
