“He immediately went to the doctor to get medication.”
WHAT medication? I’ve had it twice and tried the very expensive Paxlovid twice. It wasn’t any magic panacea or cure-all.
I suspect I’ve had some form of Covid twice and didn’t test either time. The first one in 21 was a high fever (I’m hypothyroid and never get fevers higher than 100. This one went to 103.) with lung stuff and took the horse paste (“Seriously, y’all.”) and a home brew version of HCQ. Second time in 22 was different, so wasn’t sure if it was flu or Covid, so I started using oscillococcinum. Went through the whole package of that with no improvement, so switched to a prescription IVR I had been hoarding, which knocked it out immediately.
