Of all my family, friends, neighbors, including my wife have come down with COVID since it hit our country. . I had five shots and avoided coming down until last Friday, and it hit me with both barrels. Within hours of the symptoms I tested positive. My oldest daughter suggested that I take the miracle drug Paxlovid. Three pills twice a day for five days. After reading the warning labels about the drugs side effects.. Fever, sore throat, dizziness, runs, feeling exhausted I though what the heck am I taking this for. COVID gives you the same symptoms with five day recovery without any medications. And six days with Paxlovid... I can only wonder I needed an extra day to recuperate from the drug.. And nothing to say about living with the terrible metallic taste. I'm all better except becoming weak after exerting myself... And tested negative three days ago..
