Re Paxlovid as a treatment for Covid (Scientific American 2023) [View all]

As one who took this treatment for my 2nd infection (ugh), and now am in my 8th week still recovering, I found this short article very helpful.

( I also just had a visit with my PCP, who had prescribed it; she has also cared for MANY Covid victims to date )

This is one nasty bug; I have been reading that a 2nd infection's severity will often be proportional to your first infection's, which is consistent with my experience (bad genes?).

I strongly suspect the symptoms I'm dealing with now would have been way worse if I had not used Paxlovid...
