Gordon Brown couldn't even win an election

2020-03-19 10:36:40 UTC  

its funny that they say "brown, who was in office in the 2008 financial crisis" ... and not "brown, who was in office during the 2009 pandemic"

2020-03-19 10:36:57 UTC  

John Bercow couldn't even win his wife

Ibuprofen may be associated with inducing more severe symptoms of the virus

2020-03-19 10:37:27 UTC  

is it theory or evidence backed?

2020-03-19 10:38:39 UTC  

seems to be theory. that its anti-inflammatory properties might "dampen" your immune response

2020-03-19 10:40:02 UTC  

``Worries over the use of ibuprofen appear to have surfaced in France, after Jean-Louis Montastruc, a doctor at Toulouse University Hospital warned on Twitter that: "In this period of coronavirus, it is necessary to remember the risk of complications of the NSAIDs in case of fever or infection."

A subsequent tweet by France's health minister, Olivier Veran, saying that anti-inflammatory drugs "could be an aggravating factor of the infection" was shared more than 43,000 times. But he also said people should consult a doctor before stopping taking them.

Other tweets are also being shared including one saying that ibuprofen "may cause severe cases of the disease, even in young and middle-aged adults with no underlying conditions" which has been shared more than 94,000 times on Twitter. ``

2020-03-19 10:40:04 UTC  

It's a theory

2020-03-19 10:40:37 UTC  

But given the possible implications, it's probably worth assuming it could be a thing

2020-03-19 10:47:16 UTC  

Yes, I would agree that it's possibly worth assuming, this was our entire response to the coronavirus a few weeks ago was that the impact could be bad so we should prep for it

2020-03-19 10:47:22 UTC  

that's paid dividends so far

2020-03-19 10:50:13 UTC

2020-03-19 11:03:14 UTC  

A lot of the populace live paycheck to paycheck

2020-03-19 11:07:49 UTC  

to start with they can suspend the alcohol duties for companies who convert to making alcohol based cleaners so they don't need to crowdsource the duties

2020-03-19 11:29:18 UTC

2020-03-19 11:29:37 UTC

2020-03-19 11:33:17 UTC  

to everyone criticising the money handouts, fair enough. but to criticise the individuals for lack of corporate or private savings is to ignore the reality of the current economic system. You borrow, because borrowing is cheap and you can convert that into assets you want to use and experiences you want to live. There is little incentive for banks to lend less, so they always lend and people always borrow. Savings are effectively worthless compared to living in the moment, and the economy is heavily incentivising this - presumably at the expense of some future generation who has to correct the skyrocketing debt. Most likely there is a massive financial overhaul and debt default coming in our lifetimes - your savings will become worthless anyway when the system reaches breaking point, so why not just spend and ask for a handout when things get tough?

That being said, it goes against every instinct I have.
