Due to quick progression (6 days from from ++ to -- test) I am convinced
that Paxlovid is effective. Symptoms disappeared as well. I will be

I think their point was that it won’t address the symptoms while you have them,
so use OTC stuff to deal with the symptoms and don’t expect the Paxlovid to do

The PA that treated my son said it won’t do anything to address the symptoms,
just knock the virus down quicker than if you let it run it’s course. They said

This was a walk-in clinic place that is run by a local hospital group that was
identified as being a participant in the “fast track” program or whatever they
call it where if you’re diagnosed they can immediately dispense Paxlovid.
