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

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
