Schematic of hypothetical mechanism and interaction between NSAIDs, ACE-2 antibody expression, and the COVID-19 infection. NSAIDs are shown here to amplify the effect of ACE-2 expression, which has been proposed to facilitate acquiring the infection. To be clear, this is not a well-defined pathway and has not been demonstrated in any known physiological models. ACE-2 indicates angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; NSAIDs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
