That link specifically states don't take it every day as a preventative measure in case you might end up getting Covid-19, not don't take it when you know you have it, like the grandparent said they were going to do.
It says don't do it because there are risks of gastrointestinal and brain bleeding, which would be a bad thing to risk if you don't currently have an illness.
It even links to the following article from the Mayo Clinic, which goes over the pros and cons of taking aspirin daily to prevent blood clots and heart attacks, and has recommendations for classes of people that they recommend should take aspirin every day. so I'd think if you have an active illness known to cause blood clots, it's probably worth risking the bleeding risks from the other.
From the article: "Guidelines are varied between organizations, but they're evolving as more research is done. The benefits of daily aspirin therapy don't outweigh the risk of bleeding in people with a low risk of heart attacks. The higher your risk of heart attack, the more likely it is that the benefits of daily aspirin outweigh the risk of bleeding."
Anecdote is not data, but for awhile in my 20s I used to take aspirin pretty much every day just because I had constant issues with headaches. I think I did get an ulcer during that time, but it healed in time, once I stopped taking aspirin so often. Better than dying of a blood clot from a virus that still doesn't have a solid treatment, especially if you have to stay home and self-treat it.
