Yes, correlation only at this time. Easy enough to avoid NSAIDS in case there is causality. Wondering abt ACE2-r upregulation effect.

Does that mean they treated their fevers and aches? Would make sense, no?
How long before admission were they taking these? A couple days or months?

Note that acetaminophen or other pain relievers are not implicated.
We have very limited information. But I suspect this deals with healthy individuals with acute dosing
