  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/5E2waVcfjJg   The pain killer Ibuprofen, Advil and Motrin, along with angiotensin blood pressure lowering drugs may allow CoVid19 to more easily infect and possibly kill you.    Ibuprofen and other NSAIDS are anti-inflammatory drugs that increase the angiotensin enzyme that facilitates virus binding to human respiratory lining cells.  Patients with severe CoVid infections frequently have high blood pressure and diabetes.  Diabetes itself and the blood pressure drugs ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers also increase this same angiotensin viral latching enzyme.   Researchers recommend using acetaminophen and not ibuprofen or NSAIDS for pain and fever.  They suggest switching blood pressure medications to the calcium channel blockers than don’t aid viral invasion.   https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(20)30116-8/fulltext   https://www.sciencealert.com/who-recommends-to-avoid-taking-ibuprofen-for-covid-19-symptoms   #covid19 #coronavirus #angiotensin #aceinhibitors #angiotensinreceptorblockers
