This cartoon by Paul Thomas from The Daily Express relates to parlous condition of the euro following the bailouts of Greece and Ireland, and predictions that Spain and Portugal will be the next countries to need rescuing.
The cartoon shows the euro (represented by the Euro sign) as a terminally ill patient at the doctor's. It asks: "How long have I got?"
EXPLANATION
The full question would be "How long have I got to live?" Some commentators are now predicting that the current crisis could kill off the euro. Whatever happens, the eurozone seems likely to be in for an extended period of turmoil, and the medical analogy showing the euro as a dying patient is apt.
