There are home test kits available at major pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS, if you are having trouble getting a test scheduled. Cost is around $20 as I understand. I do so hope you do not have it!

Here are a couple of articles posted here on FR re effectiveness of MABs against Omicron:

It appears Glaxo’s sotrovimab is still effective against Omicron, but likely hard to get. See boxlunch’s post at #36 and Pollard’s post at #41 for their recent experiences obtaining MABs.

There is conflicting information as to what percentage of cases and new cases are Delta vs Omicron, but it appears Delta is still around.

To find if/where MAB therapy is available in your area, go here for a list of locations (shows availability at several locations where I am, but whether they *really* still have them and administering them I do not know — one would have to call to find out):

Again, I do hope you did not catch it! Please let us know how you are and how it goes with you.

Thank you for that CatHerd! So far I’m okay. Felt under the weather for a few hours then back to normal. That’s happened a few times over the past year. Weird. Had some bad Panda express today but eh I’m kinda used to things being subpar these days. Seriously, I don’t eat out much, especially in winter, but half the time there’s an issue with the food 😐
