At this point it's easier to say which store/brand/organization did NOT send out a covid19 email.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Amex offering to defer payments with no interest for two months. Both personal and business. Just by calling.

Oops. Just made a payment. Will requesting this be a hit to Credit?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Re: Avoiding Ibuprofen if you might have  COVID19
I've read this is utter fake news

FWIW Snopes says unproven (but Snopes is not my first or 21st stop for a fact check).

According to this new site -its coming from the WHO and a Lancet journal study .
https://www.sbs.com.au/news/who-warns-against-use-of-ibuprofen-for-coronavirus-symptoms

Considering that Inflammation is part of a histamine/cytokine/part of the immune response (and fever is also part of our immune response as heat denatures the protein shell of viruses and destroys bacteria and other infections.   

Part of the reason that the young seem too be more resilient may have to do with mast cells not  being activated by the virus - since the average age per WHO has 81yo  - IMHO its something that the "greatest generation" has been exposed to previously - hence the aggressive immune response (Cytokine storm/anaphylaxis type response).

Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory - body can over-respond Cytokine storm (hypercytokinemia) by flooding the lungs with a surge of activated immune cells -This has been the suspected cause of rapid deterioration and often death (not necessarily from taking Ibuprofen - but it can be a mitigating factor).

Some strong words from a local doc:

His site is: http://kghdoc.com/ but it ironically expired a few days ago and he's probably too busy these days to renew

Quote
This is Ellie Bennett. You all know who I am and where I work. I just feel that I have to go on record. It is my medical opinion, and the same of all the infectious disease experts, that these minyamin are going to kill people. I know it is very difficult for you all to understand it because it seems like an innocuous gathering of 15 to 20 people. I will happily take any of you on a 5-minute tour of what is going on in my hospital right now. As of this past Thursday we had seven patients sick enough to be admitted. As of yesterday it was 30 and as of today it's 50. Elderly people from our neighborhood are on ventilators in the ICU because of these minyamin. There's a 6 a.m minyan, followed by 7an followed by 8am followed by 9am minyan. Even if only 25 people come to each , that's a hundred people in the same room in the same morning. Statistically, you guys are going to kill at least one old person every time you guys meet. you all trust me to treat you like family when you come to my office, so I'm speaking to you like family. Stop the minyan. Stop the gatherings. Stay home and pray by yourself. Have in mind the EMTs and paramedics and doctors and nurses working in the hospitals who are working under  ridiculous conditions trying to save as many people as we can. I admit, there will not be thousands of deaths in kgh.  But are we really willing to accept that 1 out 100  people in our neighborhood will die.  I am not.
 We trust doctors whether or not to eat on Yom Kippur or when to make a bris.
Why all of a sudden do you think it's appropriate to ignore us?
Have a good night and good luck to us all

Booked to fly CX F JFK-YVR-JFK in 2 weeks.

Wondering if I should cancel...
Have you changed your travel plans over the Wuhan Coronavirus?
Did you short the market??
You would have made a boatload, seeing this so far in advance.
Pity The POTUS did not have the insight to see this coming here

YWN down
Had an entire crew trying to disinfect that site. It’s no use
All the things we have come to rely upon have proven to be unreliable after all!

Reading quickly, sounds like this guy would choose to have another Italy situation rather then an economic recession. Interesting ethics.

Everyone says this until the virus hits home. People underestimated and continue to underestimate how threatening this virus is. Measures seemed extreme until people I know started coming down with symptoms, some severe. If the economy needs to suffer from it, there is nothing we can do about that.

In biblical terms, this is a מגפה. Plain and simple.
