It was miraculous. One of them had rebound Covid ,but, it was very mild. Give you primary physician a call and see what he/she thinks. Wishing you a healthy fast recovery. Additional note: Neither one had to see the Physician face-to-face. One was in Orlando and the other was in New York. All it took was a phone call that initiated a video visit by phone.
Yes. Note my previous post re this yesterday. I have Premier Med/Freedom Health. The doc on call duty last Saturday asked me a few questions then phoned in the Rx for Paxlovid. I’ve been on it since Sat PM and feeling close to normal now. I have COPD so was worried re getting Covid. But for me it was a mild flu case. My wife with TV Health, she called Doc on duty Sunday and was told to use Tylenol tea cough drops.

I seemed to get the symptoms one day before her. But she is quite a bit worse today than I was yesterday. So as of now, a plus for a Covid med like Paxlovid.
