Can someone with medical knowledge tell me how to feel about this, please.

I have a medical PhD and work in the pharma industry (make of that what you will). My take is that it is promising, not least because they are orally administered drugs which makes it infinitely easier to use them on a large patient population. The two concerns (obviously based on that top-line article) are that (a) it still needs human trials which, even with the best will in the world, take time, and (b) it’s odd that such a seemingly promising treatment option is not being funded and they are asking for donations. Whatever about the pharma industry, if this is a realistic option why aren’t the Oz government all over it in terms of funding?

They'd only be guessing like the rest of us. Only clear light at the end of the tunnel is a vaccine, and that's likely over a year away.

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.

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.

So what was the 11 o clock announcement?

Well eleven o clock has came and went lads and the only thing I can see outside is my neighbour’s dog taking a **** on the green. Is he the army??

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.

RocketRaccoon

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

Nope they'll just say it's been phased in over the next 48 hrs. They still haven't said where the100000 troops that would be needed are coming from either

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.

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

Anyone multiquoting infects everyone they quoted

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.

In other news, from creditable sources, next Friday's Late Late Show has been cancelled. A canteen worker in RTE tested positive for the virus and with the canteen on lockdown all possible guests for the show are unavailable.

Lads what's the likelihood of a shutdown in Ireland do you guys think?

Atm I'm going to work in the office but I am aware that I'm putting those who I live with at risk (they are working from home).

All this "the army is going to lock down the country" talk is pure b0ll0x. The army isn't large enough to do anything of the sort.

They are mobilising to assist the hse and other government bodies. There will be no men in camo with guns in the streets

I think they are more than sufficient to augment Garda, in policing or HSE. Of course, we won't see them carrying their AUGs unless there is serious unrest, looting and whatnot.
