Preliminary information, they are studying why the disease pathway in Italy is more serious. One of the factors was that most Italian patients took ibuprofen at home. They combine the virus and ibuprofen in the laboratory and came to the conclusion that the administration of ibuprofen accelerates the multiplication of the virus and that it is related to a more serious course of the disease. They recommend avoiding ibuprofen and other NSAIDS for fever, I guess similar to the association of aspirin in chicken pox leading to Reye's syndrome.
And IF POSSIBLE try and avoid Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) like lisinopril and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers like valsartan see Lancet article.

Consequently, the increased expression of ACE2 would facilitate infection with COVID-19. We therefore hypothesise that diabetes and hypertension treatment with ACE2-stimulating drugs increases the risk of developing severe and fatal COVID-19. "

Subungual melanoma is a type of skin cancer that occurs under the nails.
It often starts as a brown or black streak under a toenail or fingernail and people often mistake it for a bruise or fungal nail infection.
👣One of the key indications of subungual melanoma is known as "Hutchinson's sign." This is when a person has a streak that extends from the tip of the nail down to the nail bed and into the cuticle.
The most significant risk factor for subungual melanoma is prolonged exposure to the sun and ultraviolet light.
If you have any unexplained discolouration of your nails, don't delay – visit our podiatrists immediately.
