woah, I was with you until you brought chipotle into this. Hopefully we can agree that it's valuable to support your local chipotle over the financial district's chipotle, since it's also keeping people employed in their comm

I'm not sure that prisoners dilemma is the right framing of this problem. First, there's value in decreasing the viral load of ALL patients regardless of risk, as viral load is likely proportionate to risk of onward transmission.

Yes, there are levels of controlled substances based on, among other things, their abuse potential. That's not what we're talking about here because paxlovid is not a controlled substance. If you're going to construct a new s

I think this is where many providers get mixed up. It's for "mild-to-moderate" COVID-19 (i.e., "you're not sick enough yet" isn't at play, because then you have "mild" covid which is exactly what

By the medical professional who is prescribing paxlovid. When I wrote "can be managed", I mean the health care provider tells the patient to either stop taking their other meds for 5-7 days, to reduce the dose, or to look out for

There are renal dosing standards for paxlovid. So if you have not-great kidneys, they just give you a different dose. Covid can also cause kidney damage, and kidney issues are associated with worse outcomes from covid. So, it's all a b

Most of the interactions can be managed, but I think the message got out among primary care docs there are drug interactions and so they get scared to prescribe it. There are relatively few meds that are absolutely contraindicated, while th

Thanks for sharing your story! It really is a shame that so many clinicians are so dismissive of patient health issues, limitations of existing treatments, and the utility of other treatment modalities-- I'm glad you've found some

As grandparent, I would add that my advice is also in the context of the original comment. If you're going crazy and feeling locked in your apartment for 23 hours per day, then you definitely don't have a strong social support net
