Folks: do not take ibuprofen if you get sick. Evidence is increasingly showing that it makes it easier for the virus to spread and actively managed cases worse. Germany uses metamizole, but France and Italy's healthcare system don't, and perhaps this is why the results are there for all to see. Unsure yet if acetaminophen and aspirin will have the same effect.
Edit - thinking about the mechanisms at play here, I'd definitely avoid aspirin. But that's out of my own educated deduction, not from empiric evidence.
