One data point here. We both contracted Covid last Thursday from a “friend” at golf and lunch after. I began to feel flulike stuff last Sat morning. Wife was ok. We had some unused Covid tests and we took one. I was positive she was not.
Damn, each of us vaxed twice and twice boosted. After my positive test we called the Friend, they tested he was positive. They just got back from a trip to NY, planes, hotel….
I called my Dr - Premier Medical thru Freedom Health. The Dr on duty Sat prescribed Paxlovid, a five day RX. So this is day 3.5 and I’m doing well. No fever. Cough just about gone. Nasal fine, never lost taste, smell. Lucky as I have COPD. Test this am still shows positive.
Now my wife has The Villages Health. She tested positive Sunday and called the Dr Offc. The duty Dr did not want to prescribe any meds for her Covid. Just tea cough drops Tylenol rest etc. she’s doing ok but not as good as me. They gave her no reason why to not prescribe RX
So be it. All in all glass is half full. We got it even being double vaxed boosted. A seemingly mild case. I did not die with COPD and Covid. And now we will develop more antibodies. Life goes on.
