I heard nsaids can worsen the coronavirus. should i stop taking my nsaid now, just in case i get sick?

Don’t avoid NSAIDS: The whole avoid NSAIDS thing started with a tweet from France, the FDA is investigating it still and The WHO currently doesn’t recommend against NSAIDS either. Individually, there is no evidence that taking NSAIDS increases ones risk of contracting coronavirus either. If you do get sick with coronavirus you can consider switching to acetaminophen.
