    Any views on the ibuprofen story from France?

    Was it just 4 cases? A few cases and 3 months into this epidemic. How is that sufficient to tell people to avoid taking ibuprofen? Surely it is the best over the counter painkiller/NSAID to take if people develop breathing difficulties due to inflammation in the lungs. ??

    Seems like a lot of the papers have run with it despite no actual evidence never mind proper studies. :confused:

    There’s no scientific evidence for it. It’s barmy that he said and more barmy that so many papers published it

    Out and about this morning, local Intreo office has queues out the door (when I went in no queues, when I was coming out ten minutes later they were out the door) I had to go in, I've been ringing since last Wednesday and no answer.
    Post Office, personnel have gloves on and you don't hand them cards etc and they can refuse some transactions - what i don't know. They have a notice up that they can shutdown immediately if necessary.
    Local Lidl was pleasant - decent amount of people, no signs of stockpiling.
    The roads are half empty.

    That's what I though! I think the Irish Time had it and pulled it. Their story showed up in a search result but then the link said page doesn't exist.

    So this stuff is not confined to Whatsapp and Facebook :rolleyes:

    Just heard a rumour, from a creditable source, that all online discussion boards are being shut down. It's feared mis information could cause panic among the population.

    In major towns and cities relaxing Ennio Morricone music will be played on loudspeaker along with other music from the ambient genre.

    Is there anywhere where I can find out if I can help.

    I'm working from home and I'm lucky to have that option but it's flexible.

    I'd love to help out some of the emergency services, I may not have any technical knowledge but I'm (reasonably) young and fit.

    Can we ban anyone mentioning 11 o'clock? It's not funny or original.

    Good to see the youth prepared to help. Hopefully that time won't come.

    It's the number of our recorded case to the mass of the population.
    The graphs will always be worse compared to Italy.
    I call what that doctor said professional scare mongering.

    Can we just ban anyone who cites WhatsApp as a source for anything.

    Heard different

    Apparently the virus gets rebroadcast from boards servers and infects people through wired peripherals

    Anyone multiquoting infects everyone they quoted

    Just post a script to me?

    Or ask consultant to contact your pharmacist and send them the script directly.
    It might be an idea to get in touch with your pharmacist for advice tbh.
