Are patients with hypertension and diabetes at increased risk for COVID-19?
Ibuprofen, along with paracetamol, is generally considered very safe. All over the world they are prescribed for any kind of pain, fever, inflammation or discomfort. Of course, there are some known side effects, but they are generally considered minor.<p>Does it make sense that a virus would evolve to favour these conditions? Or is it just an unfortunate coincidence? I guess it depends on whether the virus being &quot;worse&quot; means it helps spread faster, or just compromises the host faster - after all, the virus doesn&#x27;t gain from killing its host. Also, animals don&#x27;t get treated with NSAIDs to the same degree, so if nCovid-19 came from a non-human host that&#x27;s another argument for it being coincidence.
