FALSE: COVID-19 is a bacteria and not a virus according to a study by Italian doctors.Explanation: The claims are baseless and were made by an unreliable Nigerian gossip website. The claims are medically inaccurate and misleading.
That’s a shame

Aye, sorry Andy - although this far down the track if it actually had been a bacterium you’d have thought numerous scientists worldwide would have leapt upon it ... but all are still saying “Virus”

Not really - that’ll be to treat any chance of thrombosis from being immobilized. If you’re intubated and in a medical coma for 2 to 3 weeks, warfarin or similar will prevent build up of blood clots.

Never a good idea to rely on social media for health explanations and advice. So many sites get bogged down with arguments over the 🦠. It’s a waste of time.

Hi Andy - if you do get the virus (and hopefully that won’t happen) it is essential that you don’t take any ibuprofen- paracetamol is better, as it has been shown to cause other, and very serious, problems.

You're making me laugh AndyMac. Are you applying for an Irish passport?

My Father was a Scot from the west coast and my mother English. I did however manage to trace my Fathers decedents back to this chap - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niall_of_the_Nine_Hostages
I do not however believe this will entitle me to an Irish Passport.
