FWIW since writing your comment I found out about the UK Covid Case spike, and had the call with my mother where I recommended she move back to wearing her P3 in crowded spaces, like we did during Omicron. So I think I was a bit out of the loop about the new variant thing.
Regarding drugs, my model has been that if you’re experiencing severe symptoms you want to take paxlovid and fluvoxamine and also a steroid like inhaled budesonide if you’re having respiratory symptoms. (I took budesonide when I thought I had Covid during the omicron spike, and had the other two on-hand.)
I am in a spate of avoiding news on current events, and I just (internally) reminded the LW team that I’m not really tracking this stuff right now, so I am not fully connected to current decisions.
So good smart people should probably be writing up posts on how to break the law
I encourage pseudonymous accounts to write things they think will help others, and this idea sounds pretty good to me :)
It sounds like you’re set with good medicine, at hand. just in case. Well played!
(Thinking about the side audience… Not that I actually know those 3 drugs are the best stack (with low side effects etc). Yet if you’re informedly confident, Ben, then I take it as useful indirect evidence of things for me to research maybe, and I appreciate the info.)
