    Lelz now they get shet thrown at them for aiding?

    How many times can you use 'brata' though.......

    Serbia isn't a hot zone for now. And they were a former socialistic country, so no surprise here.

    Thought it eerie but then I read this.


    China wasn’t original villain in book ‘predicting’ coronavirus outbreak – it was Russia
    20 Feb, 2020
    • Dean Koontz’s The Eyes of Darkness originally contained details of a man-made virus called Gorki-400 from the Russian city of Gorki
    • The change to Wuhan came when the book was released in hardback under Koontz’s own name in 1989 – at the end of the Cold War

    It's a theory that the French health ministry have reported and cautioned on. Without any supporting evidence, it's reasonable to be skeptical. But when you have alternative medications to achieve the same symptom relief, it's not a bad idea to follow that advice.

    Isn’t it weird that Russia barely has any cases? Why is no one paying attention to that

    snopes has some helpful quotes from the medical community

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/covid-19-nsaids-ibuprofen/

    For those who take NSAID for other things, like me, I doubt there's actually a risk to keep doing so. But I'll switch should I feel a fever coming on.

    I use european media. My country's and then
    Here for news in english:
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/l...f-isolation-travel-bans-borders-latest-update
    Italian news : La Repubblica and the Corriere.
    Spanish news : El Pais
    German news : Frankfurter Allgemeine, die Welt, Deutsche Welle
    French news : Le Parisien and le monde

    Google translate is your friend.
    I check every day the Italian news and find out very inresting information like this :

    While the doctors and nurses were working saving lives in Palermo thieves raided their lockerooms and stole ther wallets and the computers.

    FFS! The Mafia can go **** themselves.

    If you have been prescribed NSAIDs for long term therapy do not stop without talking to your doctor. This is what the experts are saying.
    This is only for people who werent taking NSAIDS.
    For you or others it may be more dangerous to stop taking them.

    Also some people are allergic to paracetamol. Do NOT take paracetamol if you are allergic.

    Btw this directive is now widespread in all euro countries.
    In the UK paracetamol has vanished from all pharmacies at this point.
    Here we make our own paracetamol so at least there is no danger of this happening. At least this goes our way...:/

    I'm surprised we're not seeing predictive metrics that show an estimated % of un-diagnosed cases, based on both this pandemic and data from past virus outbreaks.

    Looking at these numbers without context, which plebs will do, is scarier than the truth.
