Yeah I know Aspirin is multi-use, but this report is from the UK...where socialized National Health Scheme is in its last legs.
where the No 1 off the shelf item in UK equivalent of 7-11 stores is a "do-it-yourself" dental kit.
So where medications are restricted...Aspirin rules.

I am guessing a$$ cancer is whit concern to anyone stuck in Britannia at this moment in time.
The smoke wafting in from the continent will cause more death... Especially if the flames jump the channel or run the chunnel.

If this highly effective drug Aspirin had been invented today, the FDA would not permit it to be sold OTC.
