There was a warning from France’s health minister to avoid NSAIDs based upon anecdotal accounts. So there may be something to the warning since this is a novel virus and an unexpected side effect could occur, but the probability of that is very low. Not impossible, but I’m still skeptical. It’s interesting though. We won’t have a definitive answer without further study and I doubt that will happen.
At least not in the near future.
Also, because the current guidance is only hospitalized patients should be tested the majority of novel coronavirus infected patients will never know they are infected. Unless they are an NBA player or the President then they can get tested regardless of the recommendations.
