Close doors & windows. Swab neclskin with betadine where thyroid area is, radiation hits thyroid first. Take extra precautions. Radiation may hit Phil at starting 4pm today. Pls send to your loved ones.

But it has been claimed as HOAX. Please be informed that BBC already have announced in their Live update that
