I apologize if you felt insulted by my critique. There is so much garbage on the Internet about this disease that I sometimes cannot help myself. In this particular case, it is obvious that you meant no harm and that you were not trying to spread completely false information. Although I agree that taking a baby aspirin every day is very low risk, I would only point out that there is a "very low risk" of stroke associated with that practice, To the degree that it is not recommended unless one has an underlying clinical condition that is normally treated or ameliorated by taking aspirin every day, such as coronary artery disease or recurring cardiac arrhythmias that predispose to thromboembolic events. That's also why there is a huge market for new drugs that retard clotting without predisposing to stroke, to replace daily aspirin. So it is maybe not a good idea to recommend that everyone should take a daily aspirin tablet Unless or until one does the proper study that would be required to show it is of such a massive benefit in severe COVID.
