More on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use with COVID

There was no association between use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and increased disease severity or mortality among patients with COVID-19 requiring hospitalization, a U.K. cohort study found.
After adjusting for confounders, in-hospital mortality for patients who were taking NSAIDs prior to admission was no different from those who were not (matched OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.84-1.07), reported Ewan Harrison, PhD, of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, and colleagues.
Moreover, NSAID use was not associated with critical care admission (matched OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.87-1.17), or the need for invasive (matched OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.80-1.17) or non-invasive ventilation (matched OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.96-1.32), the authors wrote in
How Britain became the world leader in sequencing the coronavirus genome
The UK has sequenced more than 250,000 genomes and helped discover thousands of mutations
The battle against Covid-19 is truly global.
But in one area the UK is the undisputed world leader - tracing the genetic profile of the virus as it mutates around the world.
There are now four variants of concern of the virus that causes Covid-19 identified by government advisers. Three have been found in Britain, and the fourth is the Brazil variant identified in people who had travelled to Japan.
Yet if it wasn t for the Covid-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) consortium, such mutations would have likely remained undiscovered, spreading silently in the population.
Next dangerous Covid variant is likely already exist: British scientists
Almost a month into a third nationwide lockdown, most of England seems to be in hibernation: stores are shuttered, high streets are deserted, and trains are almost empty. But in one small village in the countryside near Cambridge, in eastern England, there is a hive of activity.
Dressed in white lab coats and surgical masks, staff here scurry from machine to machine robots and giant computers that are so heavy, they’re placed on solid steel plates to support their weight.
The staff at the Sanger Institute are much more than essential workers right now, they’re doing some of the most important work on Earth: genetically sequencing the coronavirus. Internally, it’s called “Project Heron.”
British scientists say the next dangerous Covid variant is likely already out there. We just don’t know it yet
