Though there is a lot of misinformation regarding taking Ibuprofen with coronavirus, experts really don't yet know if there are any I'll effects from the medication. 

Just to be safe, you might want to stick with acetaminophen for now.

Yeah, I wouldn't be taking ibuprofen with this stuff. Even if it's only anecdotal info that it could worsen the disease, acetaminophen is a perfectly fine substitute.

An update on my wife's employer's incredibly fuged up approach to this situation. Not only are they laying off people in droves, but once those positions are reposted, laid off employees will simply be invited to re-apply. Not brought back automatically. Not given preferential treatment. Literally just treated as any other applicant.

That is pathetic.

They did this where I work, but not full nazi. They can walk around outside, supposed to practice social distancing (they don't), and they have exercise and games on the in-house tv station. That might change Monday.

Governor Polis of CO is on now.

Data is showing the r0 is between 3 and 4. Due in large part to our cool temps and low humidity. 

4-5 days on average from exposure to symptoms. Average onset of symptoms to ICU admission is 10-12 days. The stay at home mandate institutes on Tuesday won't show an observed impact until April 7th. CO has 1849 ICU beds. Estimate half will be needed by non-COVID patients. Goal is to add 1000 more by May, 5000 "by summer". Typically 80% are occupied, but elective procedures are not being performed right now.

If no social distancing compliance, up to 33k deaths in the state by June 1st.

I'm not rah rah Polis guy, but damn is it refreshing to see a politician actually leaning on experts and data to make decisions and inform the public.

Their legal counsel is getting involved. They basically went full "Charlie Wilson's War" on them. Why can't we do this? Well, cuz it's against a poo ton of really good laws. They basically said if you do this you're gonna need new legal representation.

I reached out to my nurse today. I just had a crazy back surgery and I was told to use ibuprofen. I started to hear rumblings about ibuprofen makes it hard for doctors to treat this virus and makes it hard to recover. The nurse stated that there has been a lot of misinformation about ibuprofen. There hasn’t been any word from the CDC regarding this. She also mentioned that there has been no data to support these claims. I honestly am not sure. Just spreading info I learned from one of our medical providers. Be safe y’all

Last I heard from Dr  Fauci on this is that he has seen no evidence of this.

ASHP is specifically recommending against using it with COVID-19 patients. That's a pharmacist professional organization. When it comes to the use of drugs and their potential interaction conflicts, pharmacists are a lot better source than doctors. 

Maybe it'll turn out to have nothing behind it, but if there is anecdotal evidence that there could be negative effects and there are viable alternatives with no anecdotal evidence of negative effects, just go with an alternative.

Yeah I don’t want to play with fire. I can give them a call and see what’s a good alternative to use. I’ve been using Tylenol but it doesn’t seem to work for me

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
