My point is: what does "recovery" mean in this context? Feeling great but still being virulent during the same period? To give an analogy, I can take painkillers to suppress pain but my body is still as sick as before - it "only" affects my perception. Now, I'm not against easing symptoms in itself but given how many people I know who go to work while coughing I don't know how to feel about medication that only helps with perceived discomfort. (then again, I'm in Sweden where barely anyone seems to take covid seriously, sadly)
