NSAIDS and Corona

So since I keep seeing people pointing out that there has been a spike of "young" people with serious COVID complications. It is worth noting the following:
For the moment, the information is only based on observations made with patients admitted to intensive care. Doctors report “massive doses of NSAIDs” taken especially by young people without comorbidity, suffering from severe forms of the disease.
in the list of common NSAIDS:
- ibuprofen (Advil, Antarene, Brufen, Hemagen, Ibupradoll, Intralgis, Nurofen, Nureflex, Spedifen, Spifen, Upfen)
So you may want to ease up on the Advil if you use it regularly for reasons other than doctor's orders. If you're on doctors orders, you may want to have a little convo with them.
