I am so angry and I don't know what to do. I tested positive for Covid today, I have symptoms, but I have not been able to get a doctor to give me a prescription for Paxlovid because I am on two meds that have interactions (Rosuvastatin and Olmesartan). I can stop taking these meds for the five days that I would be on Paxlovid. I'm 74 years old, I have asthma and I want Paxlovid in the time window when it would be most effective. No wonder why Paxlovid is so vastly underused... doctors won't prescribe it. I guess they are afraid of being sued if there is a drug interaction? There's got to be a way around this.
CA Uptick in Covid infections reported just before a 3 Day Labor Day Weekend. Have a Safe Holiday Everyone. 🙏🏻
I was surprised at my state DOH (WA) covid map. A few counties are starting to light up with one in the high range, yet not any news stories about it.
No "not many stories" & I am not an Epidemiologist nor a molecular biologist but, the latest subvariants continue to increase their Transmissibility.

I'm so sorry to hear it! I hope you have a swift and easy recovery.
