reminder to use paracetamol, NOT ibuprofen, when experiencing Covid-19-like symptoms: https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m1086 …

I think that is a very serious worry. People read stuff on the internet and don’t fact check and are afraid to call the doctor for various reasons. Blaaah.

(*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.)
