I would like to know can you take ibuprofen while this virus is here. i see a lot of statements about not taking ibuprofen is that a true statement ?

Conflicting info: There has indeed been information on both sides of this, but the latest information seems to confirm that it IS ok to take ibuprofen if one has coronavirus. Things are changing so stay tuned! And cover cough/sneeze (mask can help some), wash hands frequently, wipe down surfaces you touch.
