    Aside from the history of cuts to our health infrastructure.

    What exactly were we doing while the deaths crept up in Italy? Preparing for Cummings’ preferred herd immunity. There was so much opposition to it from health professionals and we persevered while they were piling bodies up in churches in Milan. Look how much has been achieved in a short space of time. It’s been an incredible effort but so many people could have been saved had politicians acted faster rather than trusting the scientists giving them their confirmation bias rather than all the others.

    As I said you will get your chance to attack the government after. For now you argument has too many flaws.
    As for the herd... you have been believing those Guardian articles again Watford. The chief medical spokeswomen said 2 days ago that they have been advising the government all along and they have been listening... Now if she has been telling lies (for a chief doctor) then that will come out but TBH I believe her.
    I was waiting for 'Cummings' to get a mention <doh> actually <doh><doh>
    I blame Blair for what they did to these kids at school.

    I have repeatedly heard doctors say that ibuprofen should not be taken when infected with the virus.
    This is apparently because the body needs to be inflamed to help fight it and ibuprofen is an anti-enflametary.

    Yes mate, that follows the new guidelines.....however, and it seems backed up by the BBC article, there is no clear evidence that will do any harm if taken with COVID and is purely anecdotal. I guess it’s better safe than sorry.
    The problem is we are running out of Paracetamol

    Even if not harmful ibuprofen wouldn’t do much good for a fever would it? I thought it was for muscle and other pain, paracetamol for colds and flu etc.

    I look forward to the inquiry.

    If you don’t think Cummings has a significant input you’re deluded.

    I read that most stocks in the UK could run out by next week thanks to panic buying and the fact that India have stopped exporting it at present. Will be a big problem as it’s what you need to bring down the temperature. Adding to the fact that if babies get too hot it could lead to a seizure, due to the fact they can’t sweat....it’s not a good combination.

    But there seems to be plenty of Lemsip around, which is just paracetamol and caffeine.

    Will that be after the Russian one... or the Iraq one?
    People put too much attention on Cummings. I would rather believe what those medical people have all said TBH. They are not doing this for political reason mate.

    Indeed mate. Safe to take both together usually and a good combination with flu, Paracetamol for the temperature, Ibuprofen for the aches and pains that you get with proper flu (stagger them if you can)
    One thing I will add is the number of people I go to who have a fever but are wrapped up in 20 layers, a thick duvet and heating on full blast.YES you will feel cold but your body is tricking you.....strip down to bare minimum, sleep with a sheet over you if you must and when you start to cool down you will start to feel an improvement.

    And another tip from me is don’t bother going for the expensive brands of Paracetamol that supposedly target certain types of pain and are meant to be far better than their cheaper equivalent...it’s just Paracetamol (with maybe a few additions). You’re being ripped off

    Ibuprofen is something I steer clear of as it can be bad for the kidneys (or my my case kidney]. Paracetamol isn’t great for the liver but at least that can repair itself (he writes, taking another swing of beer).
