Weird Pharmacological Science

Instapundit links to a study done in Britain, reported in Medical Express, which finds that use of NSAIDs does not make Covid-19 more deadly. This is good news since many of the older people who are at most risk from the coronavirus take NSAIDs for arthritis or other conditions.

NSAID is the acronym for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen sodium. These are over-the-counter, nonprescription medicines taken for headaches, joint pain, etc.
