Avoid ibuprofen for Covid 19 symptoms says World Health Organization

Can't find a source at the WHO to corroborate this.

Several sources stating it's one of the CV19 myths....

Anybody got anything from the WHO?

Maybe an event cancelled, tickets you bought and money getting refunded??

Or flights/holiday cancelled?

Well given the vast majority are over 70 that's also a given H. Few 70+ year olds aren't on some sort of medication for something. A lot of even 50 year olds are. I can think of four in my extended circle that are 50 or younger on statins, BP meds, diabetes meds and the like.

Exactly.

Frightening figures given in LA RAZÓN based on figures available to them

Caveat, figures relate to intensive care units only, LA RAZÓN has a track record for sensationalism. Strongly Conservative, possible agenda .

+4207 in Italy, 475 new deaths,
And the media were saying it's slowing there ????

literally the end of the world.

I see no end to this, no end ....

Over 10% of those infected require ICU and ventilation. They are not treating those over 60 in many regions. Triage. Not enough ventilators.

Big problem should we have an avalanche of people requiring ICU interventions in Ireland. Hence why its so important that people literally lock themselves away to taper any such high demand.

The teachers want to remain on full pay. That's grand. Let's check in again in 12 months when the 2nd emergency budget is announced and all teachers get a 20% pay cut.

The least ye could do is work for Simon over the next six months.

What’s with the constant bashing of teachers.
Why not spend your time praising the healthworkers or something more positive.

Give over!

A "CR Adjustment" is a refund via a card transaction.

I'd argue irish are so obsessed with it because UKs failures ultimately will impact Irelands hard work and swift action.

They are putting multiple countries at risk with the stupidity of their decisions.

If this is true then the Italy figures may not be valid. Do we know the increase in numbers of deceased now in Italy?

The Italian figures are still valid, they just can't be compared directly to the German ones. You could just as well say that the German figures are invalid.

As for your second question...no idea personally.

Just as soon as someone finds a way to blame RCC for the current crisis as they are blamed for everything else then there’ll be a thread about it. You can see the posters here who are chomping at the bit.

Those Italian figures are truly frightening.
Please God those figures will start to drop soon.
Was it 9 days ago they went to lockdown?

Could be a hunch, but my spidey-sense is telling me you don’t like teachers.

With UK closing schools and not going ahead with exams. I wonder what measures will be taken in regards to Leaving Cert students this year.

Good question, no leaving cert at start of summer means no exams corrected over summer, means no university intake in summer 2020. But like everything to do with this pandemic, these decisions seem to come as a total surprise. Apparently we're still planning to all come together in Tokyo this summer for the olympics.

Their figures are being affected (positively) by the restrictions. They are still getting new cases but are out of exponential growth. That's the first step to recovering and getting back to where the health system can cope.

I don't know if this is true but I've been told that Germany aren't counting their death rate correctly. If someone with cancer catches COVID-19 and dies, their death is being put down as cancer and not COVID-19.

That may not be true but it sounds reasonable.

The health service can't work miracles in Germany so it's unbelievable that they have 27 deaths in total out of 11,302 cases when the USA have had 117 deaths out of 7,730 cases.

Over 99% of cornavirus patients in Italy who died had pre-existing health problems...OVER 99% ! ...With an average age of 80 years old....

And. What's your point?
Having a pre-existing health problem does not mean you are going to die tomorrow, next week or even with in the next 10 or 20 years.
Know anyone a bit over weight that could be classed as obese? Any diabetics in the family or friends?

And no. It's not 99%. That's BULL.

Im not a Dr but anyone with respiratory problems are usually advised to avoid ibuprofen. Our daughter has asthma and the consultants always told us to use paracetamol for fever. So while it's not directly related severe symptoms of covid 19 if you get them can include respiratory problems. That's why they say don't use ibuprofen. If you are sick and not having respiratory issues then it's perfectly reasonable to use ibuprofen to reduce fever or pain
