You solely believe it is bogus because you want to believe it is bogus. It does not fit your beliefs. Prove me wrong. Show me your data. # of confirmed and # of deaths.

I believe the data, not my own biases.

N. IRELAND

Coronavirus: Six more deaths in North as sweeping powers come into force
Further 86 cases of Covid-19 reported following announcement of restrictions
about 23 hours ago Updated: 8 minutes ago
Amanda Ferguson

Six more people have died from coronavirus in Northern Ireland in the last 24 hours, the Public Health Agency said on Sunday.

It reported a further 86 cases of the virus, also known as Covid-19, bringing the total in the region to 410. Twenty-one people have died from the virus in the North in total.

In a statement, the Executive said it had agreed to adopt the powers in “response to the serious and imminent threat to public health posed by Covid-19”.

The regulations, which came into effect at 11pm on Saturday night, compel the closure of certain premises and prohibit anyone from leaving home “without a reasonable excuse”, such as shopping for food, going to work or donating blood.

I just posted this on another FR thread, but I wanted to get this off to as many people as I can—

I just received an email from a friend that I am passing on to everyone possible:

From Vincenzas sister

Who is a nurse at NYU

Information from Vienna’s laboratory studying COVID-19 say vast majority of people who died had ibuprofen/Advil in their system so do not take it!! Those who recovered did not take ibuprofen so if you have symptoms, take Paracetamol only!!! Looks like this virus thrives on ibuprofen so don’t do it and tell everyone you can!!!

Please pass this information on to everyone in each family I don’t want to miss anyone so share as much as you can. Or copy and paste!

I just spoke with my friend who is a nurse at VGH (Vancouver) and they just learnt that Advil makes the virus 10x worse. Tylenol ONLY for the time being. She said Advil kickstarts the virus into pneumonia.

She also said they are not releasing the correct number of cases on the news and they have patients coming in everyday and some currently on ventilators. Soon they won’t have enough room in the hospitals to treat patients and will have to turn people away. They’ve cancelled all surgeries to use the ORs for available ventilators, but it still won’t be enough.

She also said she found some people in their 40s and 50s who were previously healthy to be on ventilators and having major difficulty breathing because they took Advil.

Also 4 doctors at VGH are now infected and she said she has never seen her doctors so worried before. So please no Advil and stay safe!!! Love you guys

There are a few articles online
No Advil
No Advil or any NSAIDS!!!!

Shortly after reading the email and sending it to people I know, I got a responding email from friend, who is an RN:

“Yes, our infectious disease specialist says to avoid Advil. New York is overwhelmed with cases. It is being reported as such. Stay safe!”

Florida - Checkpoints installed on I-10 and I-95 to screen travelers from coronavirus “hot zones”, airports already screening
Today, 08:51 AM
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Gov. DeSantis says Florida is taking additional measures to keep travelers from heavily COVID-19 impacted states from coming into the Sunshine State.

During a press conference Saturday afternoon, DeSantis said that checkpoint has been installed along I-10 to stop cars with Louisiana license plates as they try to enter the Florida Panhandle. Checkpoints will also be installed along I-95 to stop cars with New York plates.

Normal mortality rate in NYC is about 1 death every ~10 minutes or about ~136 per day.

==

Per the Marketwatch article, one person, in NYC, is dying every 17 mins..

84 for Thursday and 84 for Friday.

This on top of the average 136/day.

COVID cases - for Thursday and Friday - over half of what normal day averages are.

It's actually pretty simple.

Imagine you see a bat flying out of your attic. Now, one little bat may not be a bad thing. They eat bugs and it's kinda cool. True, they carry disease but it is just one.

So, you have a decision....hire a pro to do a bat exclusion...spend $1000 to seal up the entire outside of the home (they can enter through holes the size of a quarter) and then you're done. Or...take your chances and enjoy the fun at dusk of watching the bat fly away.

One of three things will happen: your bat problem will grow to three bats and you'll get a small guano/disease problem in your attic costing $5k to remediate, you will wind up with dozens of bats and a very big guano/disease problem costing $25k to remediate and you'll have to live in a hotel for a month, or the attic needs to be cleaned down to the studs or you may need to rebuild the attic and remove the soiled wood and your granny may need hospitalization due to respiratory problems.

Taking action early lowers your future costs, but it has a major upfront cost. Further, it is possible your bat problem doesn't grow to ginormous proportions...there is no guarantee as to where the bat infestation will go. Wayne Allen Root put it best:

I have many great friends and guests on my national TV and radio shows who are medical experts. Half believe this is the pandemic to end all pandemics. They quote Centers for Disease Control and Prevention models that report as many as 1.7 million Americans could die. So people are rightfully scared out of their minds. American business is shutting down. But the other half of my medical friends and expert guests say this is an overreaction. They predict fewer Americans will die than during the flu season of 2017-18 that killed about 80,000 people. They don't believe we need to close down American business and lock ourselves in our homes. The problem is we won't know who's right until it's over.

See post 31....some folks are still posting outdated info that China Flu only preys on the old.

I guess they haven’t bothered to look at the latest statistics :(

You could just do nothing and ignore the bat, because hantavirus doesn’t kill as many as the flu 🙄 /s

Yes....excellent reminder...NO Advil, or Ibuprophen....which is EXACTLY what the weeotch Medical Center friend, of Hildebeast’s ...at a Buffalo NY cancer hospital, recommended Trump supporters take, and that they also be denied respirators.

Thankfully, the hack has since been fired.
