We live in amazing times. In the span of 5 minutes, I signed up for my employer’s telemedicine service (teledoc) and saw a doctor from my bed and had a prescription called in to a local pharmacy for paxlovid.
If somebody really wants to use paxlovid it should be taken withing 5 days after confirmed Covid but because its pretty new nobody really knows about the side effects of it.
And within 5 minutes confirming Covid, checking paxlovid against other medications to avoid side effects is really fast.
