There was a similar choir event in February that led to many of the NW Georgia cases, 2 died from this outbreak. One young woman ended up on a ventilator but she is recovering at at home now, praise God.

Here is an update on her and her husband:

Interesting tidbit from the article:

“We’re your typical young, healthy couple,” he said. Yet April ended up on a ventilator, and he ended up hospitalized. He said the only thing he could think that would have made their conditions worse is the fact that ****they both took an ibuprofen the day they were trying to break their fevers****.

“Neither one of us had high blood pressure or diabetes, or anything that would worsen the case for us,” he said. “We had taken some ibuprofen. Maybe the ibuprofen worsened it. We’ll never know at this point.”

Is there any peer reviewed or under peer review research, or any advisory from a national health agency that states to not take ibuprofen, or states that ibuprofen is is a potential risk factor for COVID-19?

And please, no research that is not peer reviewed from the PRC.

Wow that is a long time for recovery. Do we have any average recovery times yet in the US? I think it somewhere around 14 days overseas.

Hopefully the new treatment lowers that time. The lower the time in ICU, the better off we will be. The hospital being overrun with sick people is making this virus dangerous.

Maybe the treatment will make it a Just a Flu for the Just a Flu crowd. That would be a very nice outcome.
