I think Ibuprofen essentially stops the immune system doing its job because it quietens all of the defences down, meaning you're more likely to get fecked by the virus if you take it.

People are wild.
Legends.
That's a very orderly, well-spaced out queue though tbf.
You are more than capable of cooking a tasty curry while in isolation. If you're cooped up for 2 weeks then I can see you transcending to a higher level beyond mere curryhouse chefs!
Makes a decent case for some who think there is a tad bit of an overreaction going on.

I'm allergic to paracetamol. I'm probably fecked if I get diagnosed with it.
Codeine and a wet flannel on the forehead it is then.
This trolley obsession is getting out of control.
So mason mount who was meant to be self isolating decided to go to a football centre in north london. Chelsea had to tell him to get back inside.
Went to my local Co-Op today, no toilet paper, nearly all the bread gone. 
People are morons, selfish sheep mentality
People are morons, selfish sheep mentalityI fear that ship sailed away long ago at this point in the UK and many other countires . They wouldn't know where to begin at this point.
I'm miffed at the WHO. If they had kicked up more of a fuss earlier then maybe countries would have better prepared for it. I think there will be a lot of questions asked afterwards about whether they really took the right approach in delaying the pandemic horn for so long.
Idiot.

If quarantine is declared for UK, will Hotels be forced to return reservations money?
First death in Portugal. 14 days after first diagnosed case, this shit is almost like a clock.
Just 1 confirmed death in the UK today so far. Have to admit I was expecting that to be much higher after the weekend's figures.
Given that Italy's first case was literally the day before the first here in the UK......why haven't we seen the same spread and impact thus far?

Head of WHO coughing 
There must be some terrorists who are planning to weaponise the virus, such an easy way to cause serious damage, with minimal effort.
There's a guy from the US I've been playing online games with who has developed an awful, awful cough. Me and a few others suggested he go to the doctor to get it checked out. Last night he comes back and says that the doc told him it isn't bronchitis or influenza and he's unsure of what it could be. My mate then asked if he could have a covid-19 test and he was told that they weren't doing them on the basis that if he came back positive then they would have no idea what to do with him.
Different demographic.
My lab has just started to try to develop a vaccine to Covid based on a previously successful method used against influenza and C. difficile. It’s a long shot, and we haven’t yet got any funding for it but considering it’s an established methodology, it shouldn’t take long until we can test its efficacy in animal models.
Good approach this. The old sweep it under the carpet approach.
P.s. hope your mate is okay.
I just don’t think they’ve announced today yet have they?
By the way there was loads of toilet roll at The Range the other day. If anyone is desperate it might be worth checking your local one. I'm guessing people don't expect it to be there so it's not sold out. Be sound and only buy a couple.
I thought it was more down to their outbreak being more centralised in hot spot areas (i.e. north). Thankfully ours seems to be fairly widespread so we haven't got any particular NHS trust under severe stress as of yet. Hopefully it stays that way.
For fecks sakeYour British and your ignorance about your closest neighbours never fails to astound me
... I'm not sure of the details but these people don't even know how to wash or dress... Bloody savagesYet all these institution's have a duty of care to their staff and students, if they can't make sufficient adjustments to safeguard them then they of course have to shut. There's more to consider than just government advice there's actual health and safety laws.
Isn’t that just the 1 person in Wales? Don’t think England has released their figures yet.
Worldometer website has been updated today. 150 odd new cases and 1 confirmed death. No idea how that accurate is though.
Could well be.
Smart, learning from the chinese on how to keep numbers down.
Apparently one of the ages of someone who died was 52, but it hasn’t been announced or something.
I'm pretty sure we're testing whether people are dead or not.
