3. This sounds like my son's current case of Covid.

He's also vax'ed, but as we all now know that does not guarantee you won't get covid....So, KEEP WEARING THOSE MASKS, folks, please. This virus will continue mutating.

Yesterday, he decided to order & take Paxlovid. 3 hrs ago, sometime after he took his first pill, he texted me:

"Paxlovid mouth is awful...
Just spent like 10 mins vomiting and can't consume anything because my mouth tastes like burnt and soapy grapefruit."

He's (was) a healthy 35yo living in NYC. I don't know what advice to give him. He & his g.f. broke up months ago, that's why he's leaning on his Mom now. I am not complaining; I just do not know what to tell him.

Any suggestions, please.
