I don't know what happened to Wenliang Li. What I know is that there have been reports of severe cases among young people without antecedents or pre-existing pathologies where I live and the common thread was that they took ibuprofen. In parallel, there are papers/preprints popping left and right suggesting that ibuprofen's side effects may worsen the symptoms of covid-19. Just google things, it's not hard to find.
>Given that standard advice for young people (who are expected not to have severe cases) is to take fever-reducing medication like ibuprofen, I feel like we need a lot more information here before we can turn this correlation into causation.
There's other fever-reducing medication that doesn't involve anti-inflammation action. Paracetamol is fine.
