Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I sense a hint of animosity towards our beloved leader......

It’s obviously a separate discussion and Boris isn’t fit to be in power anyway, but isn’t it interesting just how this stuff appears in the paper suddenly one day. It almost seems planned, coordinated and then the dominoes start to fall. The plotting, backstabbing, the players, the alliances... It’s a watered down game of thrones but it’s still intriguing.

Is this the revenge of Cummings? Or is their a plot to overthrow our supreme chancellor involving the likes of Gove and the editor of the Daily Mail?

Cummings by the looks of it.

We all know Boris isn’t fit to be the Downing Street care taker never mind the PM.

The knives are out. Will he survive, how long will he survive for? Who knows.

Perhaps India should have kept with using the highly successful Ivermectin rather than (for reasons unknown) switching to vaccination.

I have not seen any clinical trial data on the effectiveness or not of Ivermectin on COVID

However I will note that this is the latest from the FDA

Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19

Using the Drug ivermectin to treat COVID-19 can be dangerous and even lethal. The FDA has not approved the drug for that purpose.

www.fda.gov

The FDA has received multiple reports of patients who have required medical support and been hospitalized after self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses.

• FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses).
• Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm.
• If you have a prescription for ivermectin for an FDA-approved use, get it from a legitimate source and take it exactly as prescribed.
• Never use medications intended for animals on yourself. Ivermectin preparations for animals are very different from those approved for humans.

It was never in doubt. Media just try and scaremonger us with this “Uncertainty it won’t escape the vaccine”. Still, good to see it in print.
