Coronavirus Pandemic Update 40: Ibuprofen and COVID-19 (are NSAIDs safe?), Trials of HIV medications

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update 40 with critical care specialist Roger Seheult, MD of https://www.MedCram.com (This video was recorded on March 19, 2020)

Controversy surrounding the use of NSAID medications like ibuprofen and naproxen with COVID-19 infection have heightened now that the French government has issued warnings against them (Please Note: since the release of this video the WHO has walked back their warning about ibuprofen and coronavirus, and has said they are "not aware" of any negative effects. Dr. Seheult also discusses preliminary fatality data in the United States released by the CDC, and the results of a novel coronavirus treatment trial with HIV medications Lopinavir and Ritonavir in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Correction: Dr. C. J. Loizeaux was from Des Moines, Iowa (not Idaho).
