| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <Justin> I've just tested positive for COVID. My symptoms are mild and I am not high risk. Is there any treatment for this? It seems to be only available for high risk people, but I don't know why. You can get treated for the flu without being high risk. | 04:26 |
| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <Raf> The only treatment I know is paxlovid, but that doesn't mean there's not more | 04:31 |
| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <Raf> Like you said, they give it to people with at least one comorbity I think | 04:32 |
| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <Raf> Unless you have a comorbidity, I don't know why you'd think you won't have a good recovery. Obviously check with your doctor. Maybe they can prescribe it to you | 04:33 |
| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <LjL> Justin: how do you get treated for the flu? I'm aware there is Tamiflu, but it's not like it's particularly effective | 05:05 |
| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <LjL> Anyway yeah, there is Paxlovid and then there are things that are used in *even rarer* cases | 05:05 |
| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <LjL> One reason Paxlovid is not used universally is simply that it's quite expensive, I heard $170 for 5 days of treatment | 05:05 |
| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <LjL> Another is that we wouldn't want the virus to mutate so that it's no longer susceptible to Paxlovid, and if you treat a lot more people, that's more likely to happen | 05:06 |
| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <LjL> I'm not saying I agree it should only be used in rare cases, but these are just some possible arguments for that | 05:06 |

| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <LjL> Justin, consider also that while Paxlovid often avoids severe outcomes, the *time* you are sick can actually increase, because there's often a "rebound" phenomenon, where after the 5 day course, you start having symptoms again. I suspect using 10 day courses would solve the issue, but that's not what's been trialled, a new trial would take time (I don't know if one is in progress, I know t[cutoff] | 07:51 |
| Brainstorm | (Matrix) <LjL> here is one for a 28-day course for people with long COVID), and it would cost double what it does now. | 07:51 |
