I found out today that my 93 yo dad, stepmom & step brother (all in N. ID.) have Cvd. My parents are in the hospital. Wow. My dad just got home from assisted living.

Thanks. I told my Sil to stay far away from them.

I am so sorry. Don't give up. If they have gotten any vaccines at all, the effects might not be as strong.

That’s bad news… Had they had COVID vaccine boosters within last year or so? I worry about availability and access to new, reliable vaccine updates. Did they all live together?

Yes, they live together. But, my dad just came home from assisted living.

Hope they got Paxlovid, ASAP, if this is their first infection.

The older ones did.😳 My stepbro wasn't taking it. We asked:/ A PA made a house call to see them all. 👏🏻👏🏻 I doubt it's the first time. Is that a new "rule"?

First, Paxlovid is the "go-to" antiviral treatment for COVID. For mild to moderate infections, it can mitigate/prevent escalation of infection to a more severe case. However, it must be taken within 5 days of infection for it to be effective (bc viral spread happens faster at beginning of infection)
aug 30, 2025, 2:07 am • 1 0 • view
Paxlovid "may" be taken again after a new/separate infection occurs (not a COV(ID "rebound"), but treatment options differ per each person... plus there are qualifications (i.e., age, underlying conditions, etc.) that the healthcare system will apply, so doctor would prescribe accordingly.

Stepbro said they were all given antibiotics until the test came back positive.
aug 30, 2025, 2:19 am • 0 0 • view
Wouldn’t hurt (not knowing what the diagnosis was, pending testing) but won’t help. COVID is a viral infection, and antibiotics are ineffective in treating COVID. Early on in the pandemic, before treatments were found for COVID, they tested antibiotics but proved ineffective, as suspected.
