oh no katie I’m so sorry call your doctor for paxlovid and if they can’t help you can probably get a prescription through an urgent care it has been helpful for us including when my wife got it very recently

fwiw i’ve had covid five or six times now (😬) and im team paxlovid all the way. this past time i was barely positive, the line was almost invisible, and i still got on it. no major complaints (the taste is a thing but i find it easily bearable)

if you have a pcp you should be able to call them and tell them you tested positive and they’ll take care of it from there, that’s the way i did it both times. a pharmacist can also prescribe it directly though they tend to charge another $50 or so for the pleasure

the real important thing is you have to start within five days of symptom onset or they won’t prescribe it

Send a direct message to your primary care doc thru the website

I think California is still offering free virtual visits via sesame sesamecare.com/covidca The criteria used to be "uninsured or can't reach a provider within 24 hours". Anecdotally they are just a paxlovid prescribing machine.
