from Dr. Seheult’s lecture:
Benefits on one side, drawbacks on the other side - are they balanced? more research is needed (but see also Canadian paper below).
The cons: hinders the manufacture of antibody triggering Cox-2, so it suppresses antibody production
The pros: may inhibit viral replication; toxic and inhibitory to influenza A and B; inhibitory to the original SARS, reduces fever/aches and pains
Canadian paper:
Key Points:
• There is insufficient evidence that NSAIDs negatively impact morbidity or mortality of COVID-19.
• Health Canada continues to recommend both ibuprofen and acetaminophen for treatment of fever due to COVID-19.1
• Evidence to date suggests that older people (>60 years of age) and those with underlying medical conditions are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 disease. As NSAIDs should also be used with caution in these populations, it is reasonable to avoid NSAIDs in the elderly and in those with comorbid conditions (e.g., cardiovascular disease, renal disease, chronic respiratory disease). If the use of an NSAID is unavoidable in these patients, it should be at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration.
• The CPhA monograph Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) contains detailed information on the contraindications, warning and precautions to consider when recommending or prescribing NSAIDs.
Do you mean losartan, the BP med? I take that one!
True, I should have pointed out it was my opinion, not based on scientific facts.
Yes
No, I have extra special powers to telekinetically carry it from the box to the bin.
LOL!
This isn’t the Grand Central Station infected attorney, right??
I wonder what celeb that is.
The whole terminology just sounds like a terror attack incoming.
‘shelter in place’.
Lucky.
I only have nitrile gloves.
His lastname was garbuz IIRC.
Have we gotten any updates on him? Is he recovered yet?
Coming to a state near you....soon.
According to the AMA, 27% of Americans 18-64 have pre-existing conditions. 65 and older is pretty much a pre-existing condition in and of itself.
Yeah, you know it’s a celeb and you have to wonder.
The media knows but they won’t tell.
I entirely agree. I regarded that term as fedspeak for “It’s going down on Monday”.

GREAT video. Plots various disease outbreaks vs one another.
Okay....different NY lawyer that passed.
Garbuz is nearly recovered...
...A lawyer at the center of a coronavirus hot spot in a New York City suburb is now improving, his family revealed Wednesday.
Adina Lewis Garbuz posted on Facebook that her husband, Lawrence Garbuz, is now “awake and alert and seems to be on the road to full recovery.”
Lawrence Garbuz, 50, had been in serious condition at a NYC hospital and forced the state to implement a “containment area” in New Rochelle last week. Gov. Andrew Cuomo called in the National Guard to clean surfaces and deliver food in a 1-mile-radius around the nation’s first big cluster of COVID-19 cases; nearly 100 cases in Westchester County were connected to Garbuz....
