Aspirin has antiviral activity which is probably somewhat known by now. Check it out on these two studies/articles. I also clarified the dose with Haidut and it seems you would actually need less than (less than 20 grams) what the italicized text instead.
From Haidut on dosage:
Their conversion is not very accurate. The in vitro concentration of 1mg/ml corresponds to 1g/L, which can potentially be achieved with 5g-6g dose of aspirin daily. It may take a few days to build up to that level, but it should get there as salicylic acid (metabolite if aspirin) has very long half life (30h+). I would definitely add vitamin K2 as that dose of aspirin can cause bleeding issues.

Scientist Claims Aspirin May Cure As Well As Treat Colds
Huang`s team introduced the flu virus into dog kidney cells and then applied varying doses of aspirin. According to the reseacher`s results, the synthesis of the virus was stopped dead at a level of one milligram of aspirin per milliliter of blood.
Unfortunately, this is the equivalent of 20 grams of aspirin, or about 60 regular-strenth tablets. No one, he said, can take this much aspirin orally.
But the aspirin showed definite, if less dramatic, results at lower levels too. At the equivalent of about 10 tablets a day, ``the spread of the viruses was clearly suppressed,`` he wrote to the New England Journal.
