Whether the Dutch have a perfect system or not, there is something in what you say, Scot. If society as a whole was prepared to adequately fund social services and health, there would be little need for charity dollars...
There's always going to be more that can be done in any state funded system. Funds aren't unlimited, but extra care can be.
Sure, it will never get to the point where charity money is not of some value, but at the same time, much less would be needed given better government health funding. Also, many charities have a lot of inefficiencies (in some cases amounting to rorts), which means that a substantial chunk of people's donations do not reach the putative target...
.
Regardless of what perv is trying to push we are basically a very caring society as are many Northern European Social Democratic countries.

Bluebottle jellyfish: Thousands of Queensland beachgoers stung

Vast numbers of bluebottle jellyfish have been pushed ashore in Queensland, Australia, stinging thousands of people and forcing the closure of swim spots.

Surf Life Saving Queensland said over 2,600 people received treatment at the weekend. Bluebottle stings are painful but typically not life-threatening.

Unusually strong winds pushed the jellyfish colonies towards beaches.

About 13,000 stings were recorded in the past week - three times more than in the corresponding period last year.

Most incidents took place in Queensland's heavily populated Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast regions.

Bluebottle jellyfish colonies appear like blue-tinged sacs which measure up to 15cm (6 inches) long. People can be stung in the water or on sand.

The stings are typically mild and can be treated with ice or hot water, however some people had required treatment by paramedics at the weekend, Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ) said. The number of those cases was not recorded.

The jellyfish activity forced the closure of busy beaches.


Is this uncommon?


Bluebottle jellyfish, also known as Portuguese man o'war, are often seen on Australia's east coast during summer.

But a SLSQ spokesman described the latest influx as an "epidemic", while some local media outlets labelled it an "invasion".

Dr Lisa-Ann Gershwin, a jellyfish expert from Australian Marine Stinger Advisory Services, agreed it was unusual to see gatherings in such numbers.

She said "a really weird run" of strong winds and heat spells had brought bluebottle jellyfish and other species closer to shore.

The species is most commonly found in deeper seas, but can be moved easily because it has a "sail" crest on its back.

"A bluebottle has that sail that sticks up - so the wind grabs the sail and drives them ashore," Dr Gershwin told the BBC.

According to Hermitt it is a normal risk when surfing. A strange world.

They're common here but I've never been stung. The worst I've had is a catfish spine, stupid fish.

I stood on a sea urchin once in the Med, Cote de Azure. A very painful experience.

I'm actually a bit confused about these guys. In Hong Kong we used to get what we called 'Portuguese Men of War' jellyfish. That had a bladder that floated on the surface like, from a distance, a sail. What stung you were the long tentacles that were more or less invisible. They were also said to be dangerously poisonous. I had a couple of small sections of tentacle drift on to me once and it hurt like crazy.

These were not blue though either. So perhaps they were a different species.

I incline to agree with you.

They do appear here very now and again though.

Scientific name is Physalia physalis.
