Covid doc and good teacher interviewed on his medical recommendations for people who just test positive.
things you might not have known
- many people with moderately high risk (high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, etc) can get monoclonal antibody treatments like the Pres, but you need to ask for this and starting ASAP when you test positive. By the time you need to go to the hospital, it’s too late. Many docs aren’t giving these since they’re too busy dealing with worse hospitalized cases, but trials have shown this cuts your risk by 1/2 or more of bad outcomes.
- getting good sleep generally, but especially before a vaccine shot helps your body generate a good immune response
- not to treat fevers (unless very high) and in fact you might want to artificially induce these (via sauna, very hot bath) to promote part of your immune response that helps against the virus in early stages (interferon)
- various supplements like vit D, but also NAC, melatonin, and a few others
