You don't get it or you don't want to get it.

You are taking a juvenile approach about the subject matter. You intend to beat me over the head with a frying pan until I gulp down your god damn ibuprofen as per your choice medication to alleviate discomfort caused by the virus COVID-19.

Scientists and doctors around the world are saying patients are responding better with Tylenol/acetaminophen than Advil/ibuprofen.

Some doctors are concerned that COVID-19 patients who have taken ibuprofen faire worse and are more susceptible to medical failure in the ICU.

What caused the alert ? Patients in France who reported taking ibuprofen at the out set of their COVID-19 symptoms died sooner and the cause of death was a septic attack due to kidney failure.This concerned doctors that ibuprofen taken by COVID-19 patients might weaken their kidneys and set the kidneys up for am attack by the virus. It is only anecdotal evidence, but it might be a valid issue that ibuprofen use is detrimental for Coronavirus patients.

BUT REQUIRES FURTHER EMPIRICAL DRUG STUDIES IN ORDER TO BE CERTAIN. The warning about ibuprofen in conjunction with Coronavirus patients is reality, there are parallel issues of concern.

Oh incidentally, there is a warning that comes with the use of Ibuprofen it states not to exceed the recommended dosage because it might result in kidney damage. If patients who get Coronavirus medicate at home with ibuprofen but get sicker. People often up dose OTC medications in the hopes they will feel better. Maybe those patients once they get to the hospital have arrived with weakened or damaged kidneys from taking too many ibuprofen pills and once in the ICU their bodies crash into septic shock.

Coronavirus attacks the kidneys,

The lungs aren’t the only target. The coronavirus also has the ability to latch on to, hijack and destroy cells of the kidneys, Yang said.

The kidneys play an essential role in removing waste from the blood. When they fail, toxic levels of waste can pile up in the body

Now if if you chose not to heed those warnings that is your personal preference.

Myself, I see a possible correlation between the use of Ibuprofen being detrimental to Coronavirus patients so I choose to heed the warning until more information becomes available and the issue studied more.

You see I take the better safe than sorry approach,.. you have no right to chastise me for taking my opinions on the matter or taking that approach, and you also have no right to shit trash my posts on this board, and you have no right to make a mockery, dissect or trash my posts particularly if you are without any valid reason.

Rather than harass me, maybe you should just block my posts because your viewpoints are the only ones that count or matter.

Are you a sales representative for Advid/ibuprofen by the way ?

Are you related to Donald Trump, you are relentlessly pig headed like he is.

Please stop harassing me on this board.
