I read an extended editorial/report about a common (COMMON) side effect of Paxlovid of a very unpleasant metallic taste in the mouth that many can't tolerate. So, great; the bug kills your taste and smell, and/or you get the Paxlovid attack. My experience, I think especially as female, as a patient, leads me to be pretty cynical about my hopes to get a doctor to come through with (intravenous) remdesivir or the molnupiravir Thom is referencing here. I guess I have given up on masking, but I try to keep some social distancing, got my bivalent and otherwise pretty solitary lifestyle. Still feels like an inevitable, pending doom, odds running out....

My experience with Paxlovid last summer was very positive, symptoms greatly reduced with no side effects then or now.
