Not taking fever reducer for a high fever seems pretty risky too

I don’t know if this true or not. And I’ll admit that I’m biased against NSAIDS. I’ve believe that fever can help your body fight off infection. However high fever is different

Do this possibly fit into a correlation without causation?

It could just mean that most people that are really ill with this have tried to self-medicate and it was ineffective.

The only way to really know is if there is a significant number of people with COVID-19 & a high fever, no fever reducer given, and they don’t ICU care.

Kinda my thoughts too. I would expect anyone coming to the hospital with high fever to have take something to reduce that fever. I’m sure this exact same connection could be made about the flu.
