Not making it up
It was like I was watching an episode of the twilight zone. Guy is a fucking ass but if he can convince that audience it's "not just the flu" and keep people from going about and spreading it to more people or getting the more vulnerable sick...then good.
Tucker Carlson delivers coronavirus warning as his Fox colleagues attack media's coverage
While some of his colleagues have downplayed coronavirus fears, Tucker Carlsonover the last few weeks has taken a much different approach.www.cnn.com
Well, he might actually get through to my dad and stepmom, they watch him religiously :(.
the way this corporate email that just got sent out makes it not a if we shutdown, but a when......
Working presently right now and on break. Apparently someone in the warehouse went home sick yesterday and is being tested. They were apparently in close contact to someone with the virus. If that comes back positive it basically is two week shutdown for the entire company. I mean i get paid while off.....but damn that is nuts, the only other time this company has shutdown is when we got that 2 feet of snow....we NEVER shutdown. Hell, we have a literal massive ass generator, we don't even go down due to power outages....the lights kick back on after about 5 seconds.

Mchenry County, but we have workers from out of state and every where else......including from chicago. I have no idea where this person is from, but they just pulled the warehouse to inform them of needing to decontaminate everything like the halls, commons and more....
Is official: We (Spain) are on lockdown.
(Well, starts in 2 days, I guess enough time for all thse fools from Madrid to return to their houses)

unless my co-worker is being an asshole, which he better fucking not be. That's not something to spread a rumor about in a warehouse with this many people.
Coronavirus : pourquoi le ministre de la Santé déconseille la prise d'anti-inflammatoires, qui pourraient aggraver l'infection
Olivier Véran a recommandé, samedi, de lutter contre la fièvre avec du paracétamol, plutôt que de l'ibuprofène ou de la cortisone. Les patients sous anti-inflammatoires pour d'autres maladies sont invités à demander conseil à leur médecin.
Desloratadin is not a corticosteroid, so it's not the same pharmaceutical class than cortisone. It's what we call an ani-histamininc. They are not known as having side effects such as worsening viral infections.
Regarding nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofene, I suppose it's very plausible they can worsen a corconavirus infection. It's already a known fact in medicine those drugs can worsen viral infections of the ottorhinolaryngology sphere, and of the upper and lower respiratory system. So, i'ts not so surprising it can be the case with coronavirus.
So yeah, in case of fever, people have to use paracetamol (acetaminophen in north america) only.
BTW, I'm a MD.

damn
I feel so bad for those with really crippling anxiety. I'm getting so anxious now it's unbelievable. It's like we're all waiting for this combination of 9/11 and the 2008 crash in slow motion and there's not much we can do except separate ourselves and in a lot of cases stop doing the things that could normally distract us and help us feel like things are normal. The feeling of dread and unknown is palpable.
Very good, their numbers are starting to be worrying. The Italian example is showing them they could only get worse, if lockdown isn't enforced.
Crap. I'm kinda addicted to iboprofen, because I have regular headaches. 😞Coronavirus : pourquoi le ministre de la Santé déconseille la prise d'anti-inflammatoires, qui pourraient aggraver l'infection

- The acquisition of foods, pharmaceuticals and essential items.
- Access to healthcare centers.
- Journeys to workplaces or to carry out labor, professional or company duties
- Return journeys to habitual residences
- Assistance for and care of seniors, minors, dependants, the disabled or vulnerable people.
- Journeys to financial institutions.
- For reasons of force majeure or situations of necessity.
- Any other activity that is justifiably necessary.
PM due to make statement after seven-hour debate on state of alert measures
Draft decree includes banning all journeys in Spain apart from travel to work or to buy food. The delay on Saturday was reportedly due to differences between the Socialists and their coalition partners, Unidas Podemos

Huff, thanks for your reply. Feels a lot better now, because I was getting some cortisone back then and was getting really a bit anxious just now.
So paracetamol on case of fever it is, and I can continue with Deslo..
Edit:
I feel you :/ but not because of headaches, but because my body doesn't like paracetamol. I hope I just never get fever in the next 2 months in the first place. Ibuprofen was and is my go to drug in case of headaches and fever.

Necessary measures with it exploding in Spain right now.
My language academy in Seville has shut down. We're holding a teleconference meeting on Monday afternoon to figure out next steps. I'm sincerely hoping we continue teaching online. I can't go without my income.
My partner is a tattoo artist, so I imagine she'll be shut down now as well. There's no way in hell we can live without both our incomes.

This shit makes you paranoid, I'm at home and I'm feeling a slight headache and I'm already wondering if I have this shit, but calling the hotline just because of a slight headache feels so stupid and even irresponsible. What a shitty situation. AFAIK there aren't any confirmed cases in my area but who knows where the people I've interacted with lately have been.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info.
I asked about it in whatsapp groups... basically in cities as close to Madrid as Toledo (with a lot of people going back and forth to work/leisure), people were still crowding bars and parks this morning while the ICUs are already rejecting patients that are too old. Since people are going to act as assholes, they'll have to be treated as assholes unfortunately.
I almost forgot.
So, anti-histaminic such as desloratadin is OK for allergies and paracetamol (acetaminophen) is OK for fever and non-steroidal anti-infammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen are not OK for fever because it can worsen coronavirus infection.
But, ALSO, CORTICOSTEROIDS (cortisone, prednisone, prednisolone...) are ABSOLUTELY NOT OK if someone has fever or pain and is infected. These drugs have a strong immmunosupressive effect. So they can definitively do damage by impeding the capacity of the immune system to fight the infection back.
If someone has a suspicion of coronavirus infection and absolutely needs to take corticosteroid for another health issue (these drugs are prescribed for dozens of conditions, some of those are serious or chronic), someone should absolutely tell his/her doctor to see if it's really necessary.
We've been saying for days that Spain was going to be the next Italy since it had the same trajectory. Yet the government waited and waited and only now they are acting, it's good they are taking extreme measures, but they could've acted way sooner, with people going on holidays and kids going out everyday the virus is probably everywhere, same situation as Italy.
University Hospital of Vienna (which is often cited as a source for this claim) denies this vehemently:
Found via this article (german, translated):
Edit: Do you seriously think doctors the world over would not have noticed this by now if there was indeed such an increase in case severity from taking Ibuprofen?

Indeed. I hope it's because of us all staying inside more.
Sadly properly communicating what an exponential growth entails to the general public is really difficult (I'm a researcher that works with similar distributions regularly and is one of the things that is always tricky for first year grad students). Add the long incubation periods and is a recipe for disaster, people think that because they are asymptomatic everything is ok. That's why this kind of measures are necessary.
We've recently learned it was our asshole vice-president Nadia Calviño campaigning to delay it as much as she could "to save the economy". It could probably have been done DAYS earlier.
I just read on Hart van Nederland that The Netherlands isn't testing people with mild symptoms anymore. People with mild symptoms need to stay in their homes. This means that there are probably more cases which are just not being tested.
The BBC have a resource to check of there's any people in your area confirmed with the virus (UK) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274
Thankfully nowhere in my area so far.

Here in Denmark, they are closing schools and sending all non essential public sector personal home. However, they have emergency care keeping things open for kids of essential personal so it's not really an issue.
Same thing in Denmark. Even if you are old (around 70)
Panic buying has officially hit my town here in Texas. No toilet paper, no paper towels, no baby wipes, and no water.
This is insane.
This is insane.
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said the Tokyo Olympic Games will go ahead as planned in July, despite coronavirus concerns resulting in the postponement of many sporting events.
But he added that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) would have the final decision whether Tokyo 2020 went ahead.
Japan has had more than 1,400 cases and 28 deaths resulting from coronavirus.

Ah shit :/ How's the overall mood in Tilburg btw(saw it on your profile)? I'm in A'dam and even though people have started realizing what's happening there's still way too many not giving a shit.
First case in Orange County Florida.
