Paxlovid is only given to people who are at high risk of death or hospitalization from COVID, so that’s how you get results like this. I had COVID last month, was given Paxlovid, and improved within a few days.
Both my son and daughter-in-law (ages 33 and 35 and otherwise in peak health with no underlying health conditions) were given Paxlovid when they both contracted COVID last August.
Daughter had a terrible rebound.
