Folks, COVID infections are surging. PLEASE remind people to use test-to-treat if they get infected: https://covid-19-test-to-treat-locator-dhhs.hub.arcgis.com/
My mom & brother got infected over the holidays, got Paxlovid almost immediately, & are now feeling much better. Many, many people still don’t know about this program or understand that getting treated within first days of infection *matters*. Please use tests if you experience symptoms.
@digiphile Does getting Paxlovid thru these really work? I tested out the workflow to know for future & telling others and it just pointed me to CVS.. 🙄 wondering if they'd just waste time, require you to come in and expose ppl, then say "sorry you don't need Paxlovid". 🤬
@dalias @digiphile CVS did waste my time, but not in that way. Their site let me schedule an e-visit—which should have been a call-back from a local pharmacy. After six hours, the pharmacy did call me—to apologize that they don't actually offer that service despite what their site said.
There were other options on the test-to-treat listing, but CVS dominated the results. Terrible.
