    This happened on the 13th (5 days ago) if whoever posted this is claiming to have taken the footage themselves yesterday! then they have most likely stolen the footage from someone else.

    They were not claiming to have taken the footage themselves yesterday, they were just sharing the original video ... maybe just confused with the date...I had not seen it here and though it might be of interest to some...please don't jump to conclusions..

    You know what ... a healthy dose of panic might be just what is needed to get some people to take this seriously. Far too many blithely going about their business/social lives, oblivious to the dangers.

    Agree I have friends still going down the pub...

    It's a real conundrum.

    I work from home so I would keep my kids home (if I had them), but i can understand why it's so difficult for those who can't work from home. They have to understand it's not a holiday and excuse to "muck about" - though I know full well if I was a teenager I would do exactly that.

    Took mine out last week, didn't see the point in letting them spread it, should have been done long ago, with limited provision for essential workers, too little too late.

    A lot of Parisiens apparently have escaped to their second homes in the sw of France leading to public anger and placards going up telling them to go home as they’ve come from a virus hotspot .

    At the best of times this anti Paris sentiment is there because a lot do have second homes which they normally use at holidays .

     

    Same here in Wales...

    WWW.BBC.CO.UK
    We fact-check claims about ibuprofen that have circulated across social media.

    PS: Ibuprofen is just about the only over-the-counter NSAID still in stock!

    There's some confusion, with NHS Wales advising against.... Still current advice (a friend is in the public relations team) .....yet some back tracking from other agencies.....

    According to the Irish health service it's fake.

    6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn Advice about Anti-Inflammatory medication and COVID-19 - HSE.ie

    WWW.HSE.IE
    The HSE is advising anyone with Covid-19 to continue to take any medication you were already taking, unless you are told not to by a healthcare professional.  This includes anti-inflammatories (NSAID)...

     

    Not spoken to my source but it's still out there as per NHS Wales PR ....

    Is this legit?  because I saw a similar thing from Ireland about 4 youths who had taken Ibuprofen and were now in ICU. It was later debunked as a complete myth.

     

    EDIT: Yes, this is a confirmed hoax by some sick f**k out there.

    It's probably still for the best to not take Ibuprofen as per recent scientific consensus, but this story is a hoax. Please remember to check facts/provide sources before posting stories etc.

    Confused as came from senior NHS person, they put out press release and it was reported in news here, maybe they got duff info? Am trying to find out.

    I'd be very interested to see how they would police and control a full lockdown in the UK.

    Couldn't where I live, we are surrounded by forests and mountains I rarely see anyone when I go for a walk, fear might be enough though..
