[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2231903, member: 372207"] From that same article: "Scientists say the research does not prove a link between the medications and severe COVID-19, but that a potential connection should be studied more closely." So they do not say "the use of ACE inhibitors can increase the symptoms of Coronavirus", they say "There is a possibility the use of ACE inhibitors can increase the symptoms of Coronavirus but there is no indication yet that it does so.". However, there is a lot of proof on the dangers of high bp. I don't expect so. This is about one short article in The Lancet in which they speak of a hypothesis that hasn't even been worked out yet. For one, I expect GP's are way too busy doing their work at the moment to read The Lancet and secondly, there is nothing in that article to suggest suddenly moving thousands of patients to different drug would be a wise course. Here's a link to the article: [URL]https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lanres/PIIS2213-2600(20)30116-8.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
