Just had a quick look online and lots of people pointing the finger at vapes.

My son who vapes (gave up smoking a while ago) still has the chest pain, I was wondering how much that affected him. He is fit and health and normal BMI, plays footy etc.

I think that the Coronavirus must attach itself to celebrities most. Idris Elba, Tom Hanks, Linda Lusadi and then raft of sports stars...

 

Amazing how the population of celebrities is incredibly low, but their infection rate seems very high.

Yep. Don’t blame cigarettes, obesity or the massive amounts of underlying health issues not dealt with properly due to a broken healthcare system, blame the current trendy bogeyman

 

Wonder how long it will be until they are prescribing OxyContin for it

Linda Lusardi has a fairly big set of lungs for the virus to aim for, it was only a matter of time

Early evidence from human cells suggests that chloroquine — which is used to treat malaria and autoimmune diseases — may have some activity against the novel coronavirus. Doctors in China, the US and other countries have used the drug experimentally in COVID-19 patients, but there is not yet sufficient clinical evidence that it’s effective in humans.

The drug, generally considered to be safe for most patients, can have side effects including seizures, nausea, vomiting, deafness, vision changes and low blood pressure.

 

When asked about chloroquine last month, Dr. Janet Diaz of the World Health Organization said “there is no proof that that is an effective treatment at this time. We recommend that therapeutics be tested under ethically approved clinical trials to show efficacy and safety.”

 

At the time, she said the drugs that were being prioritized by WHO’s research and development efforts were antivirals, a separate type of drug that includes remdesivir, which is also the focus of clinical trials in China and the US.

Travel, swanky restaurants, parties, all the things Coronavirus loves.

Laura Kuenssburg says businesses don't have time to apply for loans and they're in danger of going to the wall now. 

 

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson says "Rishi will have more on this tomorrow." 

 

Fucking hell. He just doesn't care. 


“I say to business, stand by your employees and we’ll stand by you.”

 

Well I’m convinced.

If you have a sore throat don't use those sugar free Anginetten lozenges. Not that they have any adverse affects in connection with the virus, they just taste like shite and give you the shits.
