“ACE Inhibiters during the Covid-19 Pandemic”

I saw this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV8wWhjTKRU which says, in small part, that ACE Inhibitors may help lesson Covid-19 lung damage.

So I did some further research this morning and found this article from the New England Journal of Medicine:  https://www.jwatch.org/na51345/2020/04/09/ace-inhibitors-and-arbs-during-covid-19-pandemi 

which takes a more balanced stand that ACE inhibiters may make Covid-19 worse or maybe better. Nevertheless the article concludes: ‘Professional societies have navigated this uncertainty by recommending that patients receiving ACE inhibitors and ARBs should continue taking them.’
