I only want x1 box just in case, or for just general use. Nowhere has any & I literally have none.

What else can you take to reduce fever?

Luckily I have calpol for my DS.

But if we catch COVID19 & have a rocket fever we’re fucked. There’s none anywhere

Good advice.

surely if you need aspirin for blood thinning you will be getting this on prescription, which is normally in a special small dose pack which is not what n general sale shelves.

They won't prescribe aspirin or paracetamol here anymore, you have to buy it which ordinarily is ok, but I take eight paracetamol a day for arthritis and it's a nightmare to get at the moment.

What the hell is wrong with people on this thread going 'but you don't NEED it rihht now, so don't buy it!!'. Yeah, ok I'll wait until I have coronavirus and am burning up and then I'll take a trip to the shop. Hope to see some of you there!

Is there anything I can do with the paracetamol stock I have at home? I was advised to take 8 a day at one point by GP and to buy my own, but since had the advice changed. I recycled the boxes already so just loose strips.
