Those that did not take aspirin during the Spanish flu had far lower morbidity rates. Fever is not something I rush to suppress with drugs until I exceed 104.0 - same for my family and even when our daughter was a little tiny thing.

Preliminary unpublished information shows concerns on accelerating progression of SARS-CoV-2 virus to COVID-19 illness for ALL NSAIDs (not just aspirin). However, even with non-NSAIDs I exercise extreme caution when using (e.g. acetaminophen - Tylenol - 4000mg is considered VERY TOXIC for liver).
