A new study finds that simple, over-the-counter aspirin may be able to protect COVID-19 patients from extreme risk, including the need for mechanical ventilation, the Jerusalem Post reported.
New research from George Washington University has determined that treating COVID patients with aspirin reduced the risk of severe illness by nearly half.
The report noted that an aspirin regimen in more than 400 COVID-19 patients in hospitals across the United States cut the need for ventilation by 44%, slashed ICU admission by 43%, and reduced overall in-hospital mortality rates by 47%.
Dr. Jonathan Chow, one of the study’s researchers, said, “As we learned about the connection between blood clots and COVID-19, we knew that aspirin — used to prevent stroke and heart attack — could be important for COVID-19 patients. Our research found an association between low-dose aspirin and decreased severity of COVID-19 and death.”
Make up my freakin’ mind! First, it’s good for you, then it will kill you, now it’s good for you again. It hasn’t killed me yet, so I’ll just keep taking it.
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away
A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down
Prevention is better than a cure
Early to bed, early to rise makes one healthy wealthy and wise
Be smart, eat smart
no pain no gain
the incredible edible egg
drink 4-6 glasses a day
Life was so much simpler back in the day – INDEED!
A mind is a terrible thing to waste……………..I see so many wasted minds in Salisbury.
There’s many a slip between the cup and the lip.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
