Sage449 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Don't know validity of this, passing along as "info only" and cannot swear to truth of it: "This from friends inside Major CA hospitals - please take note; I confirmed the below info, with the director of Pulmonary department at Harvard Medical School& Hospital. He had been treating COVID19 patients in ICU for the past two weeks and validated the accuracy of the info below. Please, send the text to as many people as you can. This info. might save lives. Stay home,well ,and safe My friends wife works at NYU hospital and she confirms the below: From 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. 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 there 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." 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
