(It may have been the other way around) The warning was that all the victims had used one type. Did this prove to be scaremongering or was there something in the rumour? The whole story seemed to just vanish. They said paracetamol was fine .. ibru not.. It's been disproved.. However gotta admit when I had it in march, I felt worse after having ibuprofen.

That never happened though. What I do know is that people have suggested (on here) that until the nightingales are being used then there’s not a problem. That bit I find baffling. “Let’s wait til they’re dying in their thousands and the corridors are blocked before taking it seriously and imposing draconian measures!!!” Edited January 10 by Spider Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members MickyD 990 Posted January 10 Members Share Posted January 10 Fire Service Estates Team were employed to create the Manchester Nightingale Hospital and then later used to dismantle it. I’m not sure if “dismantle” meant putting just the critical care equipment back into storage or completely clear all of the room dividers they’d used to create treatment areas but either way, the Manchester isn’t still as available as it was when it first went up.

I have a feeling they’ll impose further restrictions though not sure what they could be. I guess closing more workplaces.

Yes that’s fair enough but suppose unless you get a breakdown of days/times of traffic increases it’s hard to tell Must say apart from commuting times it’s very quiet around here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
