IIRC according to Zvi the health conditions are broad enough to encompass a significant chunk of the population, and the medication is currently way under-prescribed because people are not aware that they’re eligible for it.
EDIT: If I understand that website correctly (which I may very well not), being “at increased risk of severe illness” includes old age, pregnancy, or having medical conditions including common stuff like diabetes, being overweight, having a mental health condition, “physical inactivity” (?!), smoking or having a substance abuse disorder, etc.
Could you provide more details on getting Paxlovid? My understanding was that it was only authorized for people with certain health conditions.
