It's headline news at the moment. You could just check. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/14/anti-inflammatory-drugs-may-aggravate-coronavirus-infection https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/14/anti-inflammat...
- exdsq 7y agoThe reason it's headline news at the moment is because some minister tweeted about the lancet letter this thread is talking about. It's a letter that's not gone through peer review which definitely shouldn't be taken as an official source! Numerous doctors on Twitter have come out and said we shouldn't listen to it too.

- guerrilla 7y agoThat the advice of an official is unfounded doesn't mean there wasn't official advice which was what was in question not its veracity.
- exdsq 7y agoI'd strongly argue a minister tweeting, even when it is the health minister, isn't official advice in the sense of national guidelines. I actually think he was incredibly stupid for tweeting that - he should know better than to write what would obviously cause a media stir based on an open non-reviewed letter.
