absolutely – as I said, everyone's individual situation in the end is the main deciding factor which drugs are and aren't safe.

I think the worry is that many people’s doctors won’t know. I’ve seen people get recommended to take ibuprofen for fevers, for instance. Others saying take nothing and to just let the fever take its course. Hard to say, it’s scary.

Definitely had a freak out about it when it was first circulating though, with my own medication. But mine is such a low dose that it probably doesn’t have much impact on the immune system.

yes – there's a real worry that people will be freaked out by bad info into stopping taking the drugs they need to be well.

(*in general*, the advice that paracetamol, not ibuprofen, would be the drug of first resort is sound, and I can see why the bmj has no hesitation publishing it – please reserve "fake news" for actual fake news.)
