Oh, crap. I'm so sorry, honey. I wish you and your darling family back in the pink of health as soon as possible.
My best friend's epidemiologist brother emailed her: "If you do come down with COVID (both of us got it after a booster dose of vaccine!), please make sure that you get a prescription and start taking Paxlovid (oral pills) within 3 days from the start of symptoms. If you cannot get it, please get either monoclonal antibody or Remdesevir (infusions) within the same first 3 day interval. Being vaccinated substantially reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of severe COVID, such as you had. These agents (Paxlovid, Monoclonals, Remdesivir) only work well if taken in the first 3 days, so don't wait!"
