An aspirin a day keeps COVID away?

The 120-year-old drug is already used against cardio-vascular ailments, plus the usual head and muscle aches, so why not COVID? 

From The Times of Israel

“People who take small doses are 29% less likely than others to test positive, researchers say; those who do get COVID recover faster, and with reduced aftereffects.”

  1. Good to know that the daily aspirin my cardiologist wants me to take might give me a bit of an edge with the covid.
    Did you or your son lose a gun case the other day?

  2. I don't think we left a gun case. We took three long guns. I put up two rifles and two cases here, and Michael had his in a case. Thank you for asking. Did you find one?

    1. In the course of asking borepatch if he had seen some scope mounts for my mini 14 which I had misplaced, he mentioned a guncase found at the station we were shooting at. Divemedic has the case. I later found my scopemounts in a box of targets.

    2. I checked with Michael this morning, and he said he is not missing a case.

  3. Yep, that's a PCR test. With a 95 to 99% false positive.
    But don't worry, you can still get great results from garbage data.
